Orbi RBK50V2 wifi analytics
Hi! Where do find this WiFi Analytics that should exist in the Orbi app? I would like to check if the signals interfere with another wifi. I am using the app on iOS. Have looked in the admin page ...
Maybe the iPhone version of the Orbi app does not include WiFi Analytics? (maybe another reason to be happy that I do not own an iPhone? - snark!!!) There is a community forum for the Orbi app. Maybe a post there will find someone who has an iPhone:

Well, fudge. Here is my Android Orbi app:
Screen that shows:

Your Orbi app does not look like this?
Mine looks and scrolls similar, but no wifi analytics there.

Thanks, seems like others have the same question.
I seem to remember reading that iOS does not allow user apps access to the internal functions that provide information about WiFi connections, whereas Android does. The Android app store has dozens of apps that scan the WiFi spectrum and report things about every WiFi system the phone can find. Search the store for things like "WiFi Analyzer". If the iPhone app store store has no such apps, that indicates that developers are unable to create them for the iOS platform.
