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!

I had the app on my Samsung S10e and it worked fine. Then got a Samsung S21 5G and the problems began.

There's a good chance that the new Samsung has a newer version of the Nighthawk App.
That seems to be the common thread.
There are ways to backtrack to older apps. Look for the apk bundle. (That's one way to install the now dead Genie for Android.) I wonder if anyone has tried that.

I'm not using Nighthawk. I use the Orbi app. I used the Orbi app on my previous Samsung phone too.

It seems that they are effectively the same thing.
That's why people see the same symptoms.
Use them side by side and you will see that updates for both apps have a habit of appearing at the same time.
