Orbi App Requesting Superuser Access???
Has anyone elses Orbi App on Android started requesting Superuser access? I have had Orbi and the Orbi app for close to a year now and I have never seen it do this before. I have a Superuser monitorin...
Discussed before. Android does out of the box not know anything like a Superuser - the problem does occur on rooted devices (with the Orbi App, Nighthawk App, and the Genie App) only. Unclear if/what they access (typically off the normal Android App access rights) what is triggering the Superuser notification.
Here a reply provided by Netgear on Google Play - Netgear Orbi - All Reviews in the comments as a reply to similar user comments:
"The app itself does not require root access, nor does it try to invoke any root command; however it does perform a security check and unfortunately this appears to be the cause of the request. We are currently working on resolving this issue. Thank you for your patience!"
