Orbi RBR750 firmware 4.6.3.7_2.0.49

Nertgear released new firmware and release notes says..

  • Supports Smart Parental Controls (SPC) 

Any idea what this is and how to use it?

Is the Orbi app up to date? 

Try a different mobile device? 

Has a power OFF of the RBR for 30 seconds then back ON been done after the FW update? 

Might try a factory reset as last resort...

 

Make contact with Christian_R over in the SPC forum if you can't seem to get it enabled...

Also try un-installing Orbi app then re-install it...

Re: Orbi RBR750 firmware 4.6.3.7_2.0.49

<<I previously posted somewhere else and is redirected to post here>>

I have a RBK753 purchased from COSTOC.

 

Now it runs on V4.6.3.7_2.0.49 on all 3 units (One RBR750, two RBS750). I could not find SPC in either the Orbi mobile app, or the web UI.

 

I did a few things

  • factory reset on the entire kit last night,
  • uninstall/reinstall Orbi app on my android phone,
  • clean up the storage/cache on my android phone,
  • install Orbi app on my wife's iPhone.

It does not offer me with SPC.

 

Anyone know what else trick I should try, or help me debug this issue. Your input is appreciated.

 

Thanks!

The Orbi app finally offers a "Add Ons". And in that UI, there is only one "security" and that is also grey off.

Hi LiquidP,

 

Can you confirm your region and router serial number for me to check further. Please send me a private message with the requested info.

 

Thanks,

Christian

I have the same problem. I have an Android phone with the Orbi app version 2.11.0.1661. The hardware Orbi RBR850 firmware version is v3.2.18.1. I do not see the Smart Parent Control tile. 

 

What else can I try?

I would make contact with NG support and ask about this. I presume something on there side needs to be triggered on your account so it shows up on the Orbi app.

Thanks for the follow up. I almost forgot to update.

 

The NG support request some bug dump from my app, and asked a few other information regarding to my account and the router serial number, etc. It then starts to offer the SPC option via my android app a few days later. The issue now is fixed.
