iOS 14
After upating my iphone to iOS 14, I cannot log into the Orbi application via local access. I can still access via remote access. Please help.

Update 29 September 2020.
Orbi has released a new update 2.6.4.13 and my problem has been solved. It is working now. Thank you everybody.

iOS14 support. " Please ensure that you grant "Local Network" access so that the app can communicate with your Orbi WiFi system."

Yes yes. I did that from day one already.
Another update. I also downloaded the Orbi Appication to a work cell phone which is running Android and it is also no problem. I still think it has something to do with the Apple Watch. I hope either iOS has an update that will help or Orbi has an update. It is often that both sides point towards the other guy.

Not to knock Apple, but I see a lot of complaints with regard to Orbi and Apple products such as iPhone, iPad, Mac Pro, Macbook air, etc.

I also must say I firmware locked my orbi and Orbi (RBK50-100NAR) has been the best router I have ever owned.
(Not to say bad things about firmware updates, but I had just Horrible times with Orbi firmware updates, spent wayyyyyy too much time trying to fix them and nothing would in my case.) so I put that orbi at work as no satelite needed their and I do update the main orbi all the time at work only and that has been perfect. I have 3 other Orbi's with satelite's (all firmware locked at what they all came shipped with) now at 3 houses (only one is mine) and no problems.
I did also turn on jumbo frames by this method (certainly not sure this helps)
Launch your favorite web browser and go to <Router IP Address>/debug.htm
Best of luck to all!!
