This has NOT been resolved! I've tried the solutions that are posted for ios 14 users (I have 14.0.1) and nothing works. I'm unable to access my Orbi modem - this has been going on for a few weeks now. 

 

I've deleted the app, reinstalled, tried both - trust my device and not to trust my device, still can't get into my modem. There is nothing in the Settings > Orbi app about "Local Network" and the app never asked to turn it on either. 

 

Please advise.

This has NOT been resolved. I purchased a new RBK752 set yesterday and wasn’t prompted to permit access to local network. I googled and got onto this thread. Installed the Nighthawk app and gave the permissions there, then uninstalled both the Nighthawk and the Orbi app, re-installed (the latest) Orbi app and still wasn’t prompted. I see this issue has been going on for sometime without solution from Netgear (it’s provoking that this thread is marked as “solved”) so I’m wrapping this product up and return it to the vendor. No use of a product not working and a maker not caring.
