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!

Same problem here on Android since I switched to RBR50 firmware V2.7.4.24. IOS app simply works on my iPad, but Android phone comes up with the router admin login (after successfully logging into Netgear account and detecting router on the network) and the "logon timed out" message. Indeed it seems the router isn't even contacted as wrong passwords come up with the same message. "Anywhere access" workaround doesn't work for me. I haven't enabled it, so the app tells me to log in via WiFi first, which doesn't work. Result: I'm not able to log in to the router via the app on Android, so the app becomes useless. Logging in via web browser still works, of course...
Exactly the same problem.
Netgear, you fix! I will not make a factory reset for this lousy handling of a bug.
