I was using the Orbi RB750 in Router Mode and after whitching to the AP (Access Point) mode I was unable to login to the Orbi app on iPhone.
Apple recently launched iCloud Private Relay, go to settings > click on "i" icon next to the WiFi. If Private Wi-Fi Address toggle button is enabled, please disable it. Re-launch the Orbi App on your iPhone and now you will see that the Orbi app is able to connect to the Router.
I enabled the Private Wi-Fi Address (iCloud Private relay) back again and now in subsequent Orbi app launch it never caused an issue. I guess it was a one time thing. However, iCloud private relay is supoosed to be limited to safari and iCloud only (AFAIK). I didn't do the RCA (root cause analysis). I'll investigate further once I have some time.

I believe those features on Appled devices can and should be disabled while your at home. Theres really no need for these features unless your traveling out side of the home.
