Is this the same problem in the sense that the app connects to the router when connected to the LAN, but then trying to move the slider to the right results in an error?
The app must be connected on the LAN for this option to be enabled. After it is enabled, then Anywhere Access means "anywhere" and if someone has stolen your phone and can open apps, then they can control your Orbi.
I'm having the same issue. I have turned the Private Wi-Fi Address off on my iPhone 14 but that still won't allow me to slide the button for Anywhere Access. I keep getting the error message.
- There apparently has been no fix at all by Netgear. This feature basically is permanently broken. I won’t buy Netgear again.
- The orb is connected to my LAN. I like my orb too. Still they need to fix this issue.
I submitted the bug report. (For about the 10th time.). It's clear Netgear has NO interest in fixing this. Very disappointing. I will not recommend ORBI to anyone since THEY broke their own feature and refuse to fix it.
