ORBI RBS50Y RBS50 Needs remote controls
Seems like a simple software add? What is up with the lack of remote controls for the ORBI RBR50 series? I have two RBS50Y in active use... Mounted up high and not a easy task to work on. However work great covering two farms. Have 3 RBS50 in active use spread around two farms. Again work great but when needed to do any work I have to go to them. Lack of proper remote controls make these devices a serious pain. Need Remote reboot of each device! Need Remote power control on each device! For for the RBS50Y why is there not a Temp monitor? as They for SURE DONT LIKE THE COLD. You dont need new devices every year? Why not keeping making your devices better and better. Get better quality software. Why is this a problem and why is it not already there. Your products seem to be held back by software than hardware.Parental Control and Anywhere Access Broken
So Anywhere Access and Parental Controls have been intermittent for years. Have tried all the “fixes”, but still not working for more than a few days at a time. Lately, I’ve noticed that the Anywhere Access will stop functioning, and when I get home, the Parental Controls have stopped logging activity for the same period of time as the AA was non-functional. All other devices in the home are functioning normally, and I can access the doorbell camera and security system in my Orbi network just fine, but the Orbi App cannot find my router. When I get home, I have to restart the router to force the Parental Controls to begin logging again. Is this happening to anyone else? Can someone please fix the Access issues that have been happening for years?
Always amazed how BAD the Orbi app is
I really never use the app because I've come to the conclusion that it's completely unreliable a long time ago. Today I was too lazy to connect to the Web page and used it. This is what I saw. EVERYONE knows NONE of the devices listed as wired even have an ethernet port.
