RBR850 We can't find your Orbi
Today my internet connection suddenly dropped while I was working. Upon troubleshooting, I found that the Orbi app, and 192.168.1.1 from my PC, are both no longer working. The app says "We can't find...

Hello Orbi Family!
Thank you all so very much for sharing your experience with us! As previously mentioned, based on the feedback we received after deploying the first patch to a select group of customers, we learned that we had an opportunity to improve the next interaction of the patch. I am happy to say we have tested this patch internally and start to roll it out to those of you who have already submitted your serial numbers. This group includes those that were in the first round so that your Device List and Armor services will be restored without any intervention on your side.
Update: If you've private messaged me and have not received a response, I promise I'm not ignoring you! đ As you can imagine, I have received quite a lot of messages. To ensure the patch is pushed out to as many of you as possible, I am focusing on grabbing the information and getting it in the hands that need it to push the update.
Update: We have begun to roll out this patch in a phased approach. Several of you should have received the patch overnight. You can check to see if you're system received the patch by going to http://orbilogin.net/debug.htm and confirming the SeAL value shows -2. If you are unable to access this page it means the router has not received the patch. If you've submitted your serial number to me on or before 6 PM last night 5/24/2022, please restart your system by unplugging it and plugging it back in and wait approximately 5 minutes after the router is fully restarted and check again. We have heard a second restart has proven more successful if the router was affected by this issue.
For more information please visit: NETGEAR is rolling out a fix for an issue affecting the Orbi RBK85x and RBK75x Series Mesh Systems.
Please note: the satellites do not need to be updated at this time and may show on a different firmware version. This is expected.
Please continue to add the results of your experience with this issue so we can look into this further if needed. If this is a new issue after being able to access the router settings please create a new topic for better visibility. Thank you!
Best Regards to All,
Christine

For those who did the factory reset, did it also get the app working again? And 192.168.1.1?
I'm going to try the factory reset tonight and will report back.

Did you set the RBR using a wired PC and web browser or the Orbi app. Don't use the Orbi app. Use a wired PC and web browser after you reset the RBR.

Do you literally mean a PC, or will an Apple product work? I will not be able to follow those suggestions if it is the former, and I too tend to want to wait for a real fix since I'm not confident (yet) that the RBR will work (at least for me).

I did the factory reset after crossing my fingers. Like everyone else, my WiFi was not affected.
Its just that my iPad/iPhone with the Orbi app wouldn't/didn't recognize my RBR850. I couldn't access the web base interface?... but I haven't tried now. Bottom line everything is working...iPhone Orbi app recognizes my RBR850.
