iOS 14
After upating my iphone to iOS 14, I cannot log into the Orbi application via local access. I can still access via remote access. Please help.
Update 29 September 2020.
Orbi has released a new update 2.6.4.13 and my problem has been solved. It is working now. Thank you everybody.
Two days ago in this thread, I reported:
"I got it [the Orbi app update] this morning, and can confirm it works."
Last night I attempted to use it again, and it failed, reporting that it cannot connect to my Orbi (the authentication issue was solved, and remained so). When I checked Settings / Privacy / Local Network, the Orbi app wasn't even listed (aside: Netgear's genie and Nighthawk apps are there, not Orbi!). When I went to the Orbi app settings, the Local Network item is completely missing.
I have deleted and reinstalled the app -- makes no difference. It's as if a piece of the app is missing (the piece that asks for local network access).
Any suggestions (besides uninstalling it and then hard rebooting the phone -- which is my next step)?
Problem solved - I found I had an old Netgear Nighthawk app I had to delete, then delete and reinstall Orbi app, and I finally get prompted to allow Local Network access. I do app development and my guess is Netgear is using the same cert for both apps, and iOS14 will only allow one accessibility per cert. So if you got an old Netgear Nighthawk; gotta delete that app for Orbi app to work on iOS14.
