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.

We would like to report that after the update 2.6.5.1 , our issue has been resolved (again). Thanks.
I saw a whole bunch of discussion on "Access Anywhere". Should I turn that off for added security?
I also saw some discussion on MAC address filter. I was told it is not useful as the bad guys can clone MAC address and gain access. Is this another added security which I should turn on? It will be a lot of work as we have some many items on the network.
I know nothing about PUP ...... Thanks.

It's not just about added security. If you intend to use Anywhere Access enable it. Disable features you have no need.

Some admins are still building on it, some security guidelines and policies still require a managed MAC access list. Undoubted, it does add a certain level of security. As a security person and pentester, I am happy to be a bad guy looking for apparently valid MACs and stying tuned 'till I can jump on the net ... Lot of effort for the management, indeed. Even more effort in the case where some key systems/devices used for the network break down, burned down, or are stolen 8-)
