Orbi iOS app issue
Why does my Orbi app connect to remote access when I’m at home as opposed to connecting to the local network? Local access is enabled in the settings for the app. I deleted the app and reinstalled it ...

Hello pablohoney ,
We have seen a small handful of similar reports. Can you please provide an answer to the following questions so we can continue to isolate the potential issue:
- Which Orbi model do you have?
- Is your Orbi router set up in AP mode?
- Have you submitted an instabug?
If you haven't submitted an instabug please do so and let me know and I'll notify engineering promptly.
I look forward to your response.
Best,
Christine

It’s a RBR50 and 3 RBS50 satellites. No, my ISP router is bridged so the RBR50 is in router mode. Instabug reported. This is a recent bug and I am on the latest Orbi iOS app and latest firmware update. Both the cloud router and the local router are visible but when I select the local router it says it cannot be found. Previously what was happening with the Orbi app was that when I would first open it up it would default to the cloud router and it would allow me to select the local router but not anymore. It was working fine a few months ago but I’m not sure when this bug first started.
