RBR50v2 App Update today - Can no longer access Orbi from my iPhone

NETGEAR ORBI WIFI SYSTEM APP UPDATE 2.21.0.329

 

I loaded today on my cell phone - and now - I can no longer access the app and/or confirm the WiFi Orbi software has been updated.

 

I tried the online tool - without success.

 

Ideas are welcome - thanks, Mike
