With "Anywhere" (aka "Remote") access you do not need to log off.
You can link each device to the account you use for Anywhere access. Then just switch between them within the app.
At least, that is how I do things in Android.
How do I enable or disable Anywhere Access on my Orbi router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
I’ll be installing Orbi’s at multiple clients. Each client will have a different user/password created at setup. Don’t see how this would work as you described. Thank you.
Read the details I provided.
You have to set up Remote Management (Anywhere Access) on the routers. All of them.
When you have done that you are using an intermediary to "tunnel into" the router. You don't feed it a password for the router. You use a password for the tunnel and that then provides you with a list of routers that you can access.
Of course, this depends on being able to use the same email address and access details for all of the Orbi devices you want to control.
The clue is in the name Remote Management. (Heaven only knows why they changed the name.) Remote means from a distance. Do you can get at several devices down the same tunnel.
Try it.
- Thank you. I do understand remote access. I think you confirmed my issue. Each router will require the same login credentials. Since these are disparate client setups it would be inappropriate to give all the routers the same credentials. Not sure how I’m going to remotely manage/monitor more than one client install from the same iPhone.

Having said that, I suspect that you are asking for a "business grade" feature from consumer devices.
