This is unfortunately true. iPhone 18.4 has broken the way the Orbi app connects. The forum has seen (literally) dozens of posts. Thus far, what appears to be the situation is:
- Netgear is aware of the problem.

- The only work around appears to be using the web interface. Customers who must manage their Orbi when not connected to the Orbi local network can enable OpenVPN and reach the router that way. This is not a trivial task and if the need is not critical, many would choose to "wait it out."
