RBR50v2, RBS50v2 and RBS50, version 2.7.4.24, Apple IOS & OS. App version 2.25.0.44
After the last couple of app updates I have been having problems with the phone app.
It will show I am connected online and have 2 Satellites with xx amount of devices online BUT.. If I click device manager I get "no devices connected" OR a pop up that says "Sorry, your device list failed to load. Please try again later". The system "seems" to be working ok but the app is also slow. I get the loading circle most of the time.
I have logged out and back in. I have rebooted the router with no results.
If I go to the web and connect locally on my laptop I can see all my devices and it appears to be working ok.
The iPhone app is connected locally. I am not using Anywhere Access
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: RBR50v2 Problems with the phone app
Thanks for the info. I did not know about the report-a-bug for the app. I have submitted one now.
I was aware that a newer FW update was out there but as many have said it does not show in the update tab on the web. I have seen that post before. I have downloaded the updates but am reluctant to do a manual update given the problems people have talked about in the post. The last thing I want is to have to do a factory reset and go thru all that reloading and rebuilding again.
I have went thru several updates (most auto, one manual). All those went smoothly so far.
I don't use Armor or SPC and my laptop page works fine. The phone app has the latest update so I'll wait to see if the bug fix route helps before I move forward.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Re: RBR50v2 Problems with the phone app
I do have a recent CFG file saved. Thanks
As for the original problem/issue It has resolved and the phone app is working properly again. Never heard anything back on my Bug report But hey it works now soooooo who knows.
I was browsing around the site and reading posts and it seems there were multiple recent issues across the Orbi family. Good to hear that most have resolved.

Re: RBR50v2 Problems with the phone app
Oh, almost forget. One last question. once upon a time I used to get a mail notification when someone replied to a post. Somewhere along the line it stopped doing that. What changed?
I'm looking at this page right now and on the top right just below "Associated Products" I see the "Email me when someone replies" and the Box is checked but I don't get a mail.
