Sorry for the confusion. My router is already set up and working I just can't access it throught the app. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled but it says "router not found" so I can't access or view my network through the app.

The phone/tablet running the Orbi app is connected to the Orbi primary WiFi network, correct? (not the guest network)
Do you have another device that the app can be loaded on? (I have the app on two smartphones and two tablets.)

Are you on iOS? If so, make sure icloud relay, random ip/mac is disabled.
Those can cause connection issues.

I'm on iOS. I saw that from a previous post and have disabled the icloud relay but that didn't make any differences.

Yes, I'm connected to my primary network not the guest wifi. I'll try and add the app to my iPad.
