My Devices - Outside BOX network

Hello,

 

I have an Orbi 960 series router running the latest firmware version "7.2.6.31".

 

I'm having an issue with my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 showing under a tab called "My Devices - Outside BOX network."

 

I've tried removing and re-adding the Armor app from my phone and from the Armor web console.

 

I've also tried disabling the random MAC address.

 

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

 

Regards,

 

Liam

      Hi FURRYe38 

       

      Thanks for your response, I think the issue is related to a security feature in android meaning that the netgear armor app cannot access the MAC address of the device, I am currently checking this with netgear and bitdefender support.

       

      I will update when I have more information.

       

      Regards,

  • Did you ever get it resolved? It's now January 2025 and I am having the same issue with the RBE971. I just got this router and it's putting my phone in the outside box network even though it shouldn't be. Please let me know if you got it fixed and how. Thank you

      Hello,

       

      I received an update from Bitdefender Support on November 7th stating that the issue should now be fixed. However, the issue still persists for me, so the support ticket is still ongoing. I will let you know when I have any further updates.

       

      Regards,

        I also have this problem, just got a support ticket open now, but was just wondering if anyone else managed to get this fixed and what the resolution was?
