Can't logon to Orbi - "Logon timed out, please try again" - FIXED!

It is ridiculous that Netgear's Orbi app STILL has this problem after more than 2 YEARS! https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-App/Orbi-App-Android-phone-quot-login-timed-out-please-try-again/m-p...

Use an iphone instead of Android to turn on anywhere access. Reinstall the app on Android and once you open the app, hurry and click anywhere access when it pops up

I did so with my wife's iPhone. Anywhere access is in fact already on. But my Android app isn't showing the option you described as appearing on startup. Someone else suggested using an older Android phone. I'll try that next.

    If Anywhere Access doesn't show up as an option on Android, it seems that you can delete the app data and the option will appear (briefly).
