A link to this previous thread would be helpful. Over time, the Orbi 'app' has malfunctioned in numerous ways. Most recently, the forum saw posts (including from me) about the Android app no longer being able to employ Anywhere Access to connect to the router when not connected to the Orbi WiFi. (i.e. "locally")
"Logon Timed Out" was one of the previous issues.
There are two steps that might be helpful:
- Take a screen shot of the message that appears on the iPhone and post it.
- Shake the iPhone and create a Bug Report to inform Netgear of the problem. (One would assume that Netgear is already aware of the issue and "working on it", but I can find no link that describes what Netgear may (or may not) be working on at any given time.*)
*Sorry for the rant. This situation with the Orbi 'app' gets old after a while.
Thanks for the responses. I tried the app about 12 hours later and it worked. I didn't do anything different. Not sure what the difference was or what caused the original behavior.
