Orbi app doesn’t recognize anything

Question

It’s been many months since I opened my orbi app. It’s not recognizing any of my equipment, but it appears to be working fine. When I try to add again, it wants me to connect to ORBI71 network, but I have changed the wireless network to my unique name. How can I re-add the equipment without renaming my wireless network name?

Thanks!

Hi,&nbsp;sorry, should have mentioned that I have AX6000 (with satellite) aka RBR850. That help any?&nbsp;Thanks!

Thanks, I’ll just wait. &nbsp;After all, I’ve not used the app for months until my recent try.&nbsp;thanks, Steve

There's an issue with the orbi app. Theres a notice in the orbi ax forum about it if you have the AX version.&nbsp;
Tough to know as you didn't put it in your post which one you have.&nbsp;

If you have the ax version, try a factory reset and reinstall using the browser and not app.&nbsp;

Its that same app issue. You'll see a note at the top of the AX forum about issues with the app.&nbsp;
Sounds like theres a fix in the works if you want to wait. Otherwise you try the factory reset/reinstall
