      One of the annoying features of Netgear's community forum package is that images placed "in-line" using the Photos Icon in the menu bar do not appear to others until they are approved by a forum moderator, which can take hours (or days?) Images attached using the Browse button in the lower left are available immediately.

       

      I had quite an experience getting OpenVPN to work for Windows, Android, and Linux.  Being "a tech guy", I ignored the directions and installed "the latest" OpenVPN package rather than the one Netgear told me to.  Don't have anything with iOS.  My original Orbi has directions for iOS.  Do they match the directions for the AX product?

      (see attached image)

  • Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX product. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

    Thank you.

  • Any progress on this?
