Which firmware version did she walk you back to?
V2.5.2.4 and now I can't use the Orbi app unless I disconnect from my WiFi and use Anywhere Access. I had to figure that one out on my own. She told me simply that I would no longer be able to use the app until they fix this problem.
So Netgear had you install an old firmware version released in September of last year and none of the 5 versions that has been release over the last 6 months.
That stongly implies that Netgear staff considers v2.5.2.4 to be it's latest & stable Orbi firmware version, Also notice it was 6 months between the release of v2.5.2.4 & previous version v2.5.1.16 but in 6 months since v2.5.2.4 was released there has been 5 new versions released.
Netgear has a quality control issue in it's Orbi software development & it's getting worse.
