Regarding the Orbi App for iPhone, all functions seem to work fine for me EXCEPT, the speed test was working great when first installed.  Now that function continues to notify me CONNECTION FAILED, even though I have a strong connection, confirmed by my external and separate speed test ap.  Hasn't worked since Day One.  Anyone else have that issue or a solution?  

 

Thanks.

I have exactly the same issue as TTTraylor. I was able to test speed for two days now I get Connection Failed message even though I have connectivity. I’ve tried rebooting the router and it has not helped.

        I have the same problem with my I phone. I can not check the speed of the internet with the app. I receive an error message as well. I think it was the Apple lastest iOS update that screwed it up.
