two houses
I have two houses, each with an Orbi mesh system. They are both on the same app and all the devices at both houses are shown on the one app. Should I have two apps or two network names or what???
One Orbi App (since you can't install and run more than one concurrently) is the way to go.
You can always switch between the systems by selecting -> Home -> my products where you should see all your systems.
Don't know if the old design of the App and Orbi Cloud does allow to rename the devices in a way the local defined names are becoming visible in the app. This wasn't the case earlier days on the Nighthawk App where local names have never been forwarded to the App, and either only the product designation and/or the serial number allowed to differentiate. This should be easy to check, nice please FURRYe38 ...
