Unable to pause internet access using Orbi - RBK753S-100NAS
Orbi - RBK753S-100NAS I got Orbi - RBK753S-100NAS (Router + 2 Satellites) and overall, works. Installed the Orbi app IOS device. but, I cannot get the device manager "Pause/Resume" function to...
Having the same issue of not being able to pause since the latest updates. I want to be able to pause at night. Kids are on their devices while we are sleeping.
Has there been any updates to where you can pause internet access through the Orbi app? That functions was working before the last updates.
I have same exact issue with my Wifi 6 router RBR850 and sattelites
Firmware:V3.2.15.25_1.3.15
App version 2.6.0.12
"Pause" funtion has no effect on wifi connectivity on devices. My kids can keep on playing Fortnite. When will you ENABLE this feature?
I am having the same FORTNITE issue. Once my son is on and streaming his game, you can not shut the internet off to his device (xbox) using the toggle switch. It only works prior to the xbox being booted up which is very frustrating. It's not just gaming either, we have Roku's, laptops, Alexa's, etc connected to the network and unless I toggle those off before in use, it won't cut Internet access while in use. One note, if you are running your OrbI in access point mode, the toggle switches will be disabled. I had my orbi in access mode and used my ISP's network manager app (ATT Smart Home) and am able to turn off devices with that app. The problem is, I don't want to use Orbi in access point mode for other reasons so when I'm back in router mode and having the same issues you all are having - FRUSTRATING!
On a side note, when I'm trying to list my device from the dropdown menu above, the Orbi RBR753 is not listed, nor is the RBR 750 or AX 4000 which I believe are all the same device. For a technology company, Netgear seems to have some a lot of technical difficulties!!!!
- I have an RBR850 with a satellite. Firmware v4. 6.7.13 and it won't pause an iPod touch. I even tried and added the parental controls because I figured they were trying to nickel and dime you and that didn't even work. Very frustrating!

On my ancient RBR50, I just now used the Orbi 'app' to Pause an Android phone by moving the Pause/Resume slider to the left, so the color went from green to grey. Instantly, the phone lost internet. Web browser would not connect to web sites. Other apps failed with one complaint or another. The phone could not 'ping' the Orbi router. The WiFi "bars" symbol at the top of the page suddenly showed a tiny 'x' on it. Moved the slider back to the right (green), and the phone works as normal.
Maybe iPods are immortal and cannot die?
