Orbi App Wifi Analytics
I am running the latest version of the Orbi app and everything seems to be working except the WiFi Analytics. The first page shows I am connected to my network and scan interval is 1s but the Signal...
I uninstalled and reinstalled the Orbi app on my phone and the WiFi analytics started working again.
I prefer the ones you download to your phone such as inssider or wifi analyzer (has 6ghz capability)
While it is really clear that most of the information displayed by the Orbi app comes from the router (using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), I am not confident where WiFi Analytics resides. Whereas much of the information displayed by the Orbi app has an equivalent in the web interface (Attached Devices, Speed Test, device status, etc.) there does not appear to be anything resembling the information in WiFi Analytics found in the web interface.
This appears (to me) to be an example of Netgear including code from somebody in the app.
One feature specifically argues for WiFi Analytics being part of the Orbi app software: Home Testing.
On that page, the user selects a "Location" and the app reports primitive statistics about the connection from this arbitrary location.
WiFi Analytics produces data on my Android phone. I have no clue why it would not work on a Pixel 7.
I neglected to suggest the obvious: Try WiFi Analytics on a different device (smartphone or tablet).
If it is the router, then this should fail the same way.
If the other device works, that would suggest the problem lies with the Pixel 7. Perhaps there is a permission error regarding use of the WiFi features. Installing a separate WiFi analysis application would substantiate this. (There are dozens.)
I uninstalled and reinstalled the Orbi app on my phone and the WiFi analytics started working again.
