Re: ORBI App does not ask for Local Network access permission with IOS 14.2 so can't use the app at

I found this response in another thread.  Looks like it was from the 5th - but it worked for me getting the phone to accept the app and open for me.  This post is from another user.  

⬇️⬇️⬇️

 

 

Folks,

I spoke to the Netgear support team post waiting for  an hour & a half on the call

 

This is a known bug in Orbi mobile app for IOS 14 and their technical team is looking in to this. There is workaround for this is..

 

1. Open the Orbi app and login providing your credientials

2. Sign in using two factor authentication

3. During step to trust the mobile device, click on dont trust and proceed

4. You will be able to get in to the Orbi app.

 

This is working for me and I can access the Orbi model features using Orbi mobile app. Trust this helps..

When it prompts you to add the phone as a trusted source, skip that part by saying "no" and it will then get you past that point.

Because rebooting the iPhone did not help.

I'm also having a problem with no option to allow Local Neywork access in the Orbi app on my iPhone X.  I managed to connect to Orbi by selecting "Connect with Anywhere Access" option.

Thanks for the tip, there is definatly a conflict with the nighthawk app. As soon as I deleted the nighthawk app i was able to login to the orbi from the orbi app.

Problem solved - I found I had an old Netgear Nighthawk app I had to delete, then delete and reinstall Orbi app, and I finally get prompted to allow Local Network access. I do mobile app development and my guess is Netgear is using the same developer certificate for both apps, and iOS14 will only allow one Local Network accessibility setting per cert.

So if you got an old Netgear Nighthawk; gotta delete that app for Orbi app to work on iOS 14.

You can set the network settings on, directly on iphone settings, go to thw app and toggle it on. Other important thing for which I struggle a lot, it never recognized the product in the app, even though i set it up running through the web interface. This was due to the nighthawk app, as soon i deleted it with its data, it recognized the orbi. So clearly there is conflict having both apps installed.

My recommendation is to delete the Orbi AND Netgear appliations from Phone. Restart the phone and then install Orbi app only. This seemed to work for me when there is only just the Orbi app and it is launched for the very 1st time.

Absolutely assine that there is no functional solution on this tread that works.   Local Area Network access option has NEVER once shown up on iOS 14.2.  I've removed (deleted) it, installed the Orbi app 10 times, rebooted the phone, said yes in their dialogue but the option has never shown up.   Glad I spent hundreds on this thing that won't work and clearly the vendor doesn't pay attention to threads with THOUSANDS of views which are clearly frustrated end users with the same problem.

If you have the nighthawk app, delete it. Then delete orbi app and restart your phone. That worked for me! If you dont have nighthawk app there that is not the issue, then connect a laptop with cable directly the router and access the web interface and you can configure them there on forst instance.

Also be Sure you dont have any VPN software running on your phone.

this updated orbi app is terrible.  did anyone at netgear test this ?  devices dont show up, server errors when trying to display devices.  unbelieveably bad.  wrong mac addresses.  very disappointed in the tech quality of this product.  time to change.

I gave up with the app entirely.   Just remove it/delete it, and surf to the management IP given to the router and follow the wizards there.   At least that was semi-functional.

I tried your method and 101 other things on my iPhone 14.2 but still get the "WiFi Not Detected" message. Local Network is enabled in the Orbi app settings. I can connect via Anywhere Access but a number of other apps do not work while using it griping about WiFi Not Detected. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: ORBI App does not ask for Local Network access permission with IOS 14.2 so can't use the app at

Finally got that dude to work. I'm not sure what triggered it but I might have been the result of me finding and removing an old Netgear Geni app, removing the Orbi app, restarting the iphone and reloading the Orbi app. I chose the install new equipment option, when went through shutting down the cable modem and the orbi, restarting the modem and then the Orbi, and its app and followed the instructions. It had a problem finding the wifi network but while trying this and that something triggered admin login display. I logged in as admin and everything began running as it should.
