Hmmm. If you are commenting on here you have a Netgear account, so clearly you *can* use the app. You just refuse to do so.

No, the community account is not the one that the Orbi App requires.

Re: New Orbi App Now Available!
Just tried the new version of app and it killed my internet for several minutes. Connection was fine all day before that.
Tried a few functions on app (connected devices, network map and finally speed test). During the speed test I lost internet.
Happy with my Orbi's performance overall, but wondering if the 2.2 version of Orbi app has an issue...

Re: New Orbi App 2.2 Now Available!
Posting this here too, perhaps someone will answer the question!
I'm happy to see the improvements in 2.2.
I was really happy to see that "Link Rate" was reported against devices but soon realized that either it wasn't meant to be included or it hasn't been done properly. The link rate is not reported for any devices associated to satelites which, for me, makes the single most important missing feature of the app not useful.
Is this a mistaken ommision or is there a reason it can't be done at present?

Re: New Orbi App 2.2 Now Available!
So you're going to return it because the app doesn't support a device that runs a really old OS version? That's one of the dumbest reasons ever. You're going to find that a lot of apps aren't going to support that old OS version more and more.

Re: New Orbi App 2.2 Now Available!
Did you miss the part about him having to do a factory reset every few days to keep it working? Not everyone has these issues but those of us that do know his frustration and wish we were able to return it. I would gladly take a day where my power "blipped" at my house and I didn't have to touch my wifi system to get it working again. Or even slow down the constant disconnect issues to every hour or something. Is that too much to ask of the Orbi?

The new app is much better; however the Network Map will not display more than 3 satellites. I have 4 up on my network.
3 satellite display limit
4 satellite up and operating on network

I'm having a ton of problems since updating my Google Pixel 2 XL to Android Pie (9.0). Is there an app update getting released ASAP to address issues with Android Pie?

Re: New Orbi App 2.2 Now Available!
I have the Orbi app 2.2.4.397 on Android. When I go to the Network Map and click on the Satellites, the IP addresses are reported correctly. When I click on the Router, which is set as an AP, the IP address is listed as 172.16.0.1 which is incorrect. I have a static IP address set to 192.168.1.100.
I can get to the AP via a web browser by pointing to 192.168.1.100.
Seems like a bug in the App or FW. Anyone else seeing this?
