Hello jrevill1023, 

 

If you have the C3700v2, you will need to use the Nighthawk app.

RBR850 not connecting to app after firmware update. Worked great in the past. What app supports the RBR850 now?

Hello wififast,

 

May you reinstall the Orbi app and let us know if that helps.

So I tried setting up the Netgear Orbi - WiFi System App on a new iPad. Still get the message that The Orbi app does not support your router model. Perhaps bad firmware update.WiFi system seems to be working well.

Not sure Firmware version. Did update couple of weeks ago. App Version is 2.9.5.14

 

Think I'll take entire Orbi Sytem down and do a reboot. See if that works. Appeared that the firware update worked OK but that is when the app problem started.
