New Device Notification (Orbi RBR50v2)

Question

How can I be notified when someone joins my Orbi network?&nbsp; (either main SSID or guest)Does the Orbi mobile app support this type of notification?&nbsp; if not, what does?

This web page says the Orbi and Nighthawk 'apps' notify when new devices join a network:

&nbsp;
Since my own Orbi app never notifies me, I assume this is because I have not enabled Access Control.

I found that post during a web search, but it states that it applies only to the following:

Wireless AC Router Nighthawk (3)

I can't find anything about new device notification in the orbi manual.

Right you are.&nbsp; "Always read the fine print."&nbsp; Not exactly encouraging that&nbsp; the BIG TYPE says Orbi app, but the details omit Orbi.
Sheesh.

Thanks.&nbsp; I love my Orbi as well.&nbsp; I can't understand why "Orbi" is listed on that post either.
