New iPhone, no more Orbi access
I bought a new iPhone 17 pro, and can now no longer access the Orbi app capabilities. I’m connected to the WiFi, but when I access the app it states: “WiFi not detected, go to orbi app setting and ensure that “connect to local WiFi” is selected””.
Screen grab attached, can anyone help please?

Did you do that? It is possible that the app settings on your new phone don't allow it to use wifi.

I’m connected to the wifi that the Orbi is providing. I think it might be some kind of an admin setting that the new phone isn’t recognised
