The latest iOS 14 release added an explicit setting for each app to control access to local network devices.  Go to Settings in the iPhone, search for "Orbi" and make sure the "Local Network" option is enabled like in the below pic.

      The problem is with iOS 14.0.1 which doesn't have the Local Network settings to select for the app. 

       

      I believe this was resolved in iOS 14.0.2 which hasn't been released yet. Im still wating for apple to release this version for my iphone.
