Orbi App Bug with Firmware 2.7.1.60
I updated to Orbi firmware 2.7.1.60 a few nights ago and since then when I go to view the devices connected to the Orbi via the Orbi app I get the following error. This happens on both my iPad and iP...

Same here.

I rolled back the firmware to v2.6.1.40 and this solved the problems I was having with the app and potentially other problems as well.
Firmware v2.6.1.40 and v2.7.1.60 are both listed as current firmware versions as of when I'm writing this. v2.6.1.40 works with the app, v2.7.1.60 doesn't.
To roll back the firmware:
1. Go to support.netgear.com and enter the model number rbk50. This model number is for the kit containing rbs50 and rbr50.
2. Click on downloads and then download the firmware v2.6.1.40 for both the rbs50 and rbk50. Open the zip files.
3. Get to the routers web page by going to orbilogin.com or entering the ip address. Go to Advanced --> Administration --> Firmware Updates --> Manual update.
4. Roll back your RBS50s first. Select your RBS50s. Hit browse and navigate to the v2.6.1.40 firmware for the rbs50 and update.
5. Same thing now for the router.
That's it.

I have it on good authority that Netgear is aware of this and is working to address it.

Fixed!
I downloaded the newest iphone app this morning and I can now access the Device Manager and see all devices with no error occurring! I tried it both on my iphone and ipad and it works fine!
