Download V2.3.5.34 firmware from this link, unzip the files and perform a manual firmware update to RBR50 first and then RBS50.

Log on to RBR50 Router via web browser and go to Advanced, Administration, Firmware Update. Select Manual Update and browse for the file 'RBR50-V2.3.5.34.img' and select Upload.
When the Router firmware update has completed, Log on to RBS50 Satellite via web browser. Select Fimware Update and browse for the file 'RBS50-V2.3.5.34.img' and select Upload.
Applying version 2.3.5.34 fixed all my problems with all devices now appearing correctly in the IOS Orbi App.
Hopefully, Netgear will eventually publish a new firmware that works! But don't hold your breath!

My fear in installing an older firmware is that it might lack virus (not coronavirus) protections or might not have the latest protections against hackers... How concerned do I need to be on that topic vs. being able to see my devices on certain routers or satellites? Seems I could live with that problem until a firmware fix comes? But this post perfectly describes my problems, too - just weighing safety vs. comfort...

Same issues here. Would consider downgrading to get back access in App. However, I may no longer open the Orbilogin page without it looking broken, so cannot access firmware page to try.
Also a bit concerned about a downgrade in possible cybersafety with a downgrade in firmware.
Functionally, all is still working.
