RBR850 ORBI blocking iPhone apps internet traffic?
Hello, I was just wondering how my Orbi RBR850 router could be blocking some apps on my iPhone, without Armor activated and no specific site or service blocking rules active in the advanced security...
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Is IPv6 enabled on the RBR?
If you have had Armor enabled, yes theres talk of after it's disabled, there is lingering code still running on it. One can try to power OFF the RBR for 30 seconds then back ON after disabling Armor. If not, yes, a factory reset will be needed and setup from scratch and this time do not enable Armor.
I don't run Armor so one reason why I haven't seen this on my 12 Max iPhone.

Is this the only device having problems with mobile apps?
What iOS version are you using on the iPhone?
FYI, there is more recent FW updates for ORbi:

It's definately my router, as switching off wifi and connecting on 4G solves the issue.

Hardware version - RBR850
Firmware - V3.2.16.22
The modem is a branded KPN (Dutch network provider) Esperiabox V10A by Arcadyan. Used to work with the KPN network extenders.
My iPhone 12 is on the latest iOS version
Although my current firmware is at 3.2.16.22, it doesn't mention the 3.2.17.12 to be available if I try to update with the Netgear app.
