Cannot use Anywhere access any more
My Orbi Router Model RBR10 does not seem to have the Anywhere access feature any more. It was working some 2 or 3 years ago but now I cannot use or enable it. According to this article it would be ra...
I have a Google Pixel 8 phone running Android 14. This is also a problem when connecting to the router with an ethernet cable and connecting via browser (actually only Firefox works) on my laptop, i.e. the option to add Anywhere access does not appear even if the manual clearly states on page 102 "Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Remote Management". Remote Management cannot be found there. đ
So I guess this feature has been removed.
The manual is out of date and should be updated. Remote Management was removed and only Orbi app was able to remotely access Orbi systems with Anywhere Access with limited features.

Been hearing there maybe some Google Pixel issues and Orbi systems. Something NG and Google will need to take a closer look at.
I passed this to NG for some review. You should open up a support ticket with NG and maybe Google and see if this can get resolved.
