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.

Good catch of MY typo. I meant to type orbilogin.com, and whatever I actually typed came up with "You are not connected to Orbi network." Should have tried again.
Thanks
