RBR53 IOS14 Orbi app not working on local network

Since IOS14 the Orbi app doesn’t work on local network. Only on remote. It didn’t ask to OK on local network and still doesn’t after reinstall. There is no option to correct this. Frustrating that yet again NETGEAR are not prepared!

When is this issue going to get fixed? It's been long enough since the iOS release that it should have been resolved by now.

Re: RBR53 IOS14 Orbi app not working on local network

same here ... wasted my morning yesterday on netgear phone support ... they actually gave up.  Line went silent.  The orbi app does not appear in the list of privacy/local network apps asking permission.  Very frustrating

 

big surprise w/ this company ... can't even locate the product in the drop down list ... RBK852 or AX6000

Hello Orbi app users, 

 

May you refer to the article below and see if you're able to view the local network access slider in your iPhone's settings. You may need to reinstall the Orbi app.
