Problem solved for me - I found I had an old Netgear Nighthawk app I had to delete, then delete and reinstall Orbi app, and I finally get prompted to allow Local Network access. I do mobile app development and my guess is Netgear is using the same developer certificate for both apps, and iOS14 will only allow one Local Network accessibility setting per cert.

So if you got an old Netgear Nighthawk; gotta delete that app for Orbi app to work on iOS 14.

I had R7000 and Orbi apps on IOS 14.1 phone.  Could no longer locally access Orbi router via Orbi App after upgrade to IOS 14.  Deleted R7000 app and now Orbi app works.  Thanks for tip.
