Remote config port forwarding via Orbi app

Will it support advanced management (e.g. port forwarding) in furture updates of Orbi App ?

I would not count on it.  My 'fear' is that Netgear will abandon the web interface and leave Orbi users "Plane Jane" with no "advanced" features at all.

I think web UI will be around for a while. Orbi app is mostly a light features app for checking status and some controls. Any thing beyond that you'll need to be logged in to the RBRs web page to make more advanced configurations.
