Re: Netgear Orbi app
I have to agree. After updating the firmware, I downloaded the new app and after 5 minutes deleted it from my tablet. I am very happy with my Orbi system and hopefully the app will be made useful as we go along.

Re: Netgear Orbi app
1) QoS
2) Parental control
3) Pausing internet
4) setting time limits for devices
5) blocking devices
Netgear has one of the best whole home wifi systems. But it is extremely disappointing for them to release an app that does basically nothing!

Re: Netgear Orbi app
I purchased and setup my Orbi on December 12, 2016 and the app also got release on the same day. I installed the app from Apple App store. First of all, it kept shutting down when i tried to select the existing setup. Finally I selected new setup and then it worked. But I don't see any use of this app besides seeing connected devices.

Re: Netgear Orbi app

Re: Netgear Orbi app
I do see devices connected to the network. Some show with signal strength; and some don't. Pretty random.

Tried that. The little blue circle spins to refresh and when it stops it still says 0 connected devices

Re: Netgear Orbi app
Reinstalled the app but nothing. Only thing I can think of is that I'm running the latest public beta of iOS on my phone.

Re: Netgear Orbi app
Looks like a "Here we have an app now!" but not a very good one yet. Hopefully they fix the issues soon and add more functionality.

Re: Netgear Orbi app
I was wondering as well today why the app doesn't show any connected devices? Could we have an answer from Netgear support? I am sure the app will continue to improve and pack in more features and control -- but it is virtually useless to me at this stage. I am very happy with the Orbi system and have great coverage throughout my home -- a speed test this morning resulted in 322Mbps!

Re: Netgear Orbi app
Utterly useless app until some real functionality is added with future Firmware releases until then it is useless.

Re: Netgear Orbi app
Not sure if this is the issue or not. I see some people are showing connected device through the app. Not me. But, I have 2 satellites and one router. Does anyone else have this setup and the app is showing connected devices?

Re: Netgear Orbi app
My Orbi app shows Status: Online, Satelittes: 0, and 16 Connected Devices (in blue.) When I click on 16 Connected Devices, it lists each device including my two satellittes.

Re: Netgear Orbi app
My app shows, Status: Online, Satellites: 1 (and I just have the router and this one satellite), 0 Connected Devices.
And as others have posted, if I go to the web login I see all my wired and wireless devices.

Ditto.
I'm in AP mode, if that makes any difference.
