Orbi USB NAS support
1. When is Netgear planning to release the firmware update what would enable the provided USB port functional? I don't understand what's taking them so much time to release the firmware update.
2. Why 2 apps for logging into Orbi? The Orbi app and Genie app. Can these two be integrated? They need to be enhanced and made more functional. The Genie app looks so old and worn out. In this application era how can Netgear lag behind in designing a nice comprehensive app for its devices?

No information on the USB port at this time and we are looking to upgrade the features in the orbi app in the future.

It looks as though although in the beta release it is not in the publicily available firmware. Fingers crossed things go well and it makes it to general release.
yes a beta release that has been handed out to some public users and was reported by one of those users as working
