Re: Orbi App Requesting Superuser Access???
Discussed before. Android does out of the box not know anything like a Superuser - the problem does occur on rooted devices (with the Orbi App, Nighthawk App, and the Genie App) only. Unclear if/what they access (typically off the normal Android App access rights) what is triggering the Superuser notification.
Here a reply provided by Netgear on Google Play - Netgear Orbi - All Reviews in the comments as a reply to similar user comments:
"The app itself does not require root access, nor does it try to invoke any root command; however it does perform a security check and unfortunately this appears to be the cause of the request. We are currently working on resolving this issue. Thank you for your patience!"

Thank you Christian ... based on the feedback we have got on the Genie App, the Orbi App, and the Nighthawk App in tge Play Store (sharing some code obviously) the issue is known for at least one month, so a solution should not be to far away.
