Outdoor Orbi issues

So I have an outdoor orbi connected to my network, RBS50Y on firmare 2.3.5.32. In the orbi app under outdoor orbi it says 'off" but it shos as green and part of my network in the Network map. So is it working correctly or not?

    Many users have been complaining about the app displaying wrong information. I experienced it myself. It may be possibe an app update has bugs. I don't know for sure. What does it show when you go to orbilogon.com?

    To test the outdoor Orbi, you could stand near it a perform a speed test.

      That may be a typo.  I believe that the Orbi DNS intercepts requests for "orbilogin.net", not "com".

      I would trust the Orbi web interface over the "app".

        Yes orbilogon.com is wrong, meant to type orbilogin.com

        orbilogon.com, orbilogon.net as well as routerlogin.net and routerlogin.com gives the same GUI results.

         

  • the website shows it online just like the app does when i look at my network. the standalone 'outdoor orbi' section on the app must just be messed up.
