Hello MHeston,
There currently is a new firmware version available for the RBR50. You may find the release notes to the new firmware linked below. After updating to the latest firmware version, I would recommend performing a factory reset and running through the setup assistant again. You may also want to try reinstalling the Orbi app on both your iOS and Android devices.

I am running this version on my RB50 plus sattelite and I still cannot access the RB50 through the orbi app, message no internet connection. This clearly does not solve the problem. I added a new post with some more info. This must be resolved, it seems a lot of people have this issue.
