Thanks and I am aware of the mobile app setting. It’s on and been on. I was traveling this week and received a message from the router over the Orbi mobile app but when I tried to access the router using it, I received a message saying that I needed to turn something on when connected to the same WiFi as my router. Will need to reproduce the message and get back.
