Orbi RBR50 wont connect to App
No matter what I do I cannot get the app to connect with my router. I have reset the entire network, Reset all of the network settings on my phone, made sure the router was in router mode and not...
Hi JJewell,
May you provide us with the current Orbi app version you have installed.
Thanks,
Christian
Orbi App 2.8.2.0
- Mine will also not connect after resetting the router. Using the latest app on iOS. Just keeps saying orbi not found.
Have uninstalled and reinstalled app. Have no other netgear apps on phone either.- Having same issues
The most typical issue wher iOS systems can't discover or communicate is because you are not connected to the Orni wireless, ir this the "famous" Local Network Access privilege (where in the world is a local network less secure than the wild Internet? Only under some tin hats in Cupertino Ca.....) does deny the Local Network Access.
Permitting you are connected to the Orbi Wireless (not to another router or extender or access point from a previous network).
Removing and re-installing the Orbi App (from the Apple App Store) should mitigate.
Double check Settings -> Privacy -> Local Network -> scroll to the Orbi App and ensure the Orbi App has the Local Network privilege turned on.
