Orbi App issue

My orbi app sometimes wont open past the blue Orbi screen that says "better wifi. Everywhere."  I have cleared cache, reinstalled the app multiple times, and contacted support with no resolution.  This happens if im at home connected to the wifi, and it also does this if i try and connect remotely (which i do have enabled).  Now occasionally i have gotten it to work by opening and closing the app repeatedly, and eventually it will continue past the first page, but not often.  

 

Its not necessarily a huge issue, as i know i can access settings from a web browser, but half the point of this thing is that it is supposed to be accessible from the app.

I would post about this here in the Orb app forum:

Try a app remove, reboot device then reinstall.

Re: Orbi App issue

Hi @jerrodbug

 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

 

May I please know the current firmware version? 

Please describe your network setup. 

What is the Orbi app version? Is this Android or iOS?

Re: Orbi App issue

the app says version v2.3.6.617 on the main screen.  I updated the firmware to whatever the newest version was, but im not able to check currently.  

 

I have a basic network setup.  Modem then Orbi, with one orbi satellite.  One dumb switch, and about 20 devices connected wired and wirelessly.

Re: Orbi App issue

Having the same issues. RBR50 firmware V2.3.1.60 on Samsung Note 9 Orbi app version 2.3.7.622. I did try the uninstall/reinstall but still doesn't recognize my Admin password. Confirmed the password is correct using orbilogin.com. This is a new occurrence. Before the last couple of days, I logged in from the app no issuse.

Re: Orbi App issue

So, if I turn off WiFi on my Note 9 and restart the app, it allows me to login remotely with no issues. What the heck???
