Velop isn’t terribly robust, either from the app or web interface. Certainly nothing like you’d see from Ubiquiti and the like. Like most mesh solutions, the general target is higher simplicity. I’d imagine orbi isn’t terribly different in that aspect. The Velop management definitely would not be one of the reasons to steer in its direction.

SNMP would be great to begin with, especially since they are targeting the Orbi towards SOHO. http://www.netgear.com/orbi-pro/
