Why no consolidated Orbi app?
Got my new Orbi system up and running and so far, it beats our Gen1 eero and the Amplifi I just returned. Throughput is amazing. HOWEVER the software experience is TERRIBLE. eero and Ammplifi have a simple app that does it all (easily). There's the orbi ios app, netgear genie for some things, openDNS logins for parental controls, etc. Why isn't there a single app that works at home or away and lets you control all settings in one place? That's the one thing I miss about my eero... everything in one (clean) app.NETGEAR Orbi Apple iOS App
So the Connected Devices finally show up on the app but they all say "WIRED." You guys are really struggling with the app huh? The programming to get this stuff correct is pretty basic. Can you fix the WIRED/WIRELESS issue please? With that said, the hardware is awesome so go Netgear, props.Oribi Need FW update to block internet access without killing Network access
Currently, if I pause the Internet for a device through the NETGEAR Genine it makes that select device unavailable to my local area network. I would like to request a firmware feature to block specific devices from going outside the local area network. I have many devices on my LAN that do not need Internet access, but still need to function on my LAN as a network device. Have WAN access should be a ON/OFF option for a device in the phone App, as well as the browser interface.
