What Orbi system model do you have?
FW version loaded on the Orbi system?

Be sure the device is connected to the Orbi system and not some other system. Getting message like that mean the app can't detect the Orbi system due to not being connected at the Orbi system or your connected to something else.

The model of router is the 860. FW is V7.2.4.5. MAC address is not randomized and the phone is logged into the correct router. I have also deleted and reinstalled the app twice. Restarted the phone, and changed the admin password on the router. Still not working.
