How to Use NETGEAR Insight Management App with Orbi – Tips and Resources
Hi all,
This might sound as a very stupid question, I currently use a ORBI RBR50. Unfortunately, the ORBI doesn't have a possibility to use Insight Premium to manage my network. As I'm reading much news on VPNfilter, erroneous IoT devices, malware etc in private home networks.
I believe I can manage and get better insight (no pun intended) in what's going on on my network (+/- 50 devices).
I do have a couple of question before to make sure I understand the best approach here.
A) I need to buy a GC110 router to enable my network for using Insight Premium
B) Should I setup my Orbi router in AP as it's now in router mode.
C) Can I (as I have kids) monitor websites my kids are browsing?
D) Any other concerns I should take into consideration?
Thank you for your advice and, Insight(s)

Hi DashWifi,
Welcome to the community! :)
The GC110 is not a router. It is a smart switch that can be managed via the Insight app. There is no option to monitor the websites being browsed using the Insight App.
About your RBR50 that is set as router mode, you may want to use the Orbi app. With the Orbi app, you can enable Circle with Disney Smart Parental Controls for you to manage content and time online. Kindly check the supported functions of the Orbi app on the link below:
What functions can I manage using the Orbi app?
