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!

Hi,
I can confirm I'm having the same problem, have tried on 3 different android devices, have cleared cache, multiple times, and even factory reset the devices and satellites which was a real pain in the backside. Can only access and make some changes via logging on to the routers 10.0.0.1 IP address.
I can't believe the app is the one and only place to make changes, why not a windows or web version?

It isn't.The app is possibly the worst place to make important changes. (You don't say there what you want to change or what device you want to control.)
The browser graphical user interface (GUI) is, and always has been, the best option, followed, depending on what you want to do, by the desktop genie for you operating system.
Can only access and make some changes via logging on to the routers 10.0.0.1 IP address.I would suggest that you just aim a browser at that address, but if this is what your router has adopted, rather than the router default of 192.168.1.1, you may have a few other things to investgate.

I've been able to make most of the changes I wanted to make via routerlogin.net etc, but there are some things and status I want to see that are more visible in the app.

What desktop genie app are you talking about?
