Get some info, you'll need to factory reset the system and setup from scratch with the Orbi app and then input the new email address.
I would probably remove the app from the mobile devices first, then re-install it.

Then follow this to factory reset the system using the ERASE button:

Where you get to the point that the instruction say to use a PC and web browser, begin setting up with the Orbi app instead.
NG support will recommend this as well.

Thanks. I'll use that sequence of events as a last resort. As I said, the warning hasn't caused any problems with my ORBI. It is just an annoyance when using the iOS app. I'll first try sending an email to NG customer service as CrimpOn suggested.
Thanks for all your help!
