Orbi app on android phone "no internet connection"
I went to my Android phone to check Armor for my network (which I had recently renewed). It looked OK. I then looked at the Orbi app on my phone and it said “no internet connection”. I did a speed ...
the apps have to "phone home" to work or you get the "no internet connection" problem with the app. I ran into this issue running my unbound dns instance. Netgear gave me this list to whitelist:

Or you can simply using the browser and log in that route. It still works fine and has more details.
