Orbi firmware V2.6.0.108 no longer allows Orbi App connection
I let the Orbi insight app update my router and satelites to V2.6.0.108 and now i am unable to connect to my network through the local Orbi App. I have tried all troubleshooting steps(I could connec...
I would totally agree with this business model and path if the insight app wasn’t totally useless. Can you give us some kind of feature list that Insight does that the free Orbi app does not do? You say we can use the webui like that is some kind of miraculous new option. This is simply unbelievable in today’s competitive mesh wifi industry that you would try and squeeze an extra 10$ for your customers to go backwards in functionality. Poor judgment NetGear….I’m an IT consultant that “used” to recommend this solution.
To name a few Insight provides that Orbi app does not:
1. Entire network level Topology Map instead of just behind the OrbiPro.
2. Ability to manage the 4th SSID available on OrbiPro
3. Remote access through web server, in addition to the app
4. Remote Ping/Traceroute/DNS Lookup capability
5. Device Configuration saved in the Cloud instead of local computer, that can be restored from anywhere.
And we also have new features planned in Insight, that won't be available on Orbi app.
Thank you.
