Orbi + HomeKit Secure Router Support: Firmware Update ETA?
When will Netgear add support to Orbi for HomeKit router security?
A couple of years ago (2019), Apple announced HomeKit support for routers. Other brands (eero and Linksys, which are both inferior to Netgear Orbi!) support HomeKit.
You can read more about HomeKit secure routers here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210544
I would *love* to see this feature added to Orbi. I thought about exchanging my Orbi for an eero after learning this, but thought better of it - hoping Orbi will support HomeKit after a firmware update at some point?
Is there an ETA on an Orbi firmware update that would make it a HomeKit secure router?
