Remote Management Option Not Available in Orbi App
I'm connected to my RBR40 from the Orbi app remotely but I can't seem to find any option under settings for enabling remote management. I also don't see any options for managing port forwarding. I opened a port up on my router to forward to a device and it's inaccessible for whatever reason, trying to troubleshoot.

Use the router's web interface to do all this.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the Orbi network and enter http://orbilogin.com. The login window opens. Enter the router user name and password and click the Log In button. Note: The user name is admin.

So basically I'd have to enable this from the inside? Makes sense. Though it really sucks because I can't troubleshoot the issue I am having remotely now and am basically locked out completely. I thought access anywhere would do the trick.

Yes, the Orbi "app" is truly a "dumb blond". Cute. Nice to look at. So "today". But DOES almost nothing. Cannot be used to access most Orbi features, certainly not anything on the "Advanced" tab.
The part that annoys me is there are a couple of features that can be accessed only from the Orbi app, such as the voice settings on the RBS40V.

Only insulting to the dumb ones. All the blondes I know are smarter than I am.
