Orbi RBR40 will not allow Anywhere Access on the app on any of my devices.

When you try to turn on the Anywhere acces button by sliding it to the right it automatgoes back to off position and I get an error message. The error message states some error occurred while enabling/disabling Anywhere Access.. it as working and mow I can not turn it back on. All m devices do the same thing.

    Anywhere Access is a function of the Orbi "app". Netgear has a forum specifically for the app, where someone might have seen this before:

    Just to confirm: The device running the Orbi app is connected to the Orbi on the local LAN when you are trying to turn on Anywhere Access?
