ORBI APP - LOGIN - SECURITY?
I just installed in the Orbi AC2200. Seems to work great. Unfortunately it seems it can only be controlled by an Android app (I don't do Apple). I prefer WIN 10, and don't want to run the app through an emulator. Does anyone know if there is a WIN 10-based program to manage the Orbi AC2200?
One of my concern is that if my phone is lost or stolen, the Orbi app doesn't seem to have any security to log into the app. (That's a bit scarry!) Seems it's always running on my Android phone and there is no way to 'log off'. Anyone know if this is correct, and whether some level of security can be implemented requiring log in to control the Orbi system? I think I'm signed up for the Netgear Armor security feature (for 30 days?), but seems odd if this is the 'security' that prevents someone using my phone from entering my Orbi system.
Thanks.

Please post about this over in the Orbi app forum:

There is a log out function on the NightHawk app, there should be one in the Orbi app as well.
MS Windows based OS's uses the RBRs web page UI and a web browser to manage the router system.
Good Luck.

Just use your browser. Aim it at:
If that doesn't work – perhaps because the thing is in AP mode – then track down the IP address of your Orbi router and use that.
The manual explains what to do.
There is support for the CBR40/CBK40, including manuals, at the end of this link:

I see that the moderators have moved your message to the right place. (Much better than duplicating messages that clutter up the place and cause confusion.)
