Issue with various apps on android devices
Since upgrading to the 870 mesh system various apps on my wife's android phone aren't loading. Everything is fine on iOS devices but apps such and the BBC News app are failing to load on the android phone. I really don't understand what's causing this as it seems to only affect android devices. Has anyone found a solution to this?RBE871 slow speed
Hi All, just installed my brand new RBE871 and I’m getting a constant 94MB download/upload speed. If I connect my laptop to the ethernet port of the wall I get 850MB download. I have a main router in my house (FritzBox!5590) provided by the ISP, which delivers connectivity to the entire walls, this device is wifi disabled. the Orbi is intended to deliver wifi connectivity. Wires in the walls are CAT6A. each wired port in the house gives me high speed, just wifi from Orbi is slow at 94MB. I already downloaded the update firmware and restarted the Orbi a few times. I’m not a tech guy. Thanks for suggestions.Where has the sort function gone?
I've recently updated my network from an Oribi 750 to a 870. When using the web UI to view the settings for the 750, on the list of connected devices I could sort the view by clicking on any of the headers for the list (see screenshot for example). On the 870 web UI, there seems to be no sort as function on the same page. I found this sort as view option really useful with the 750 system. Is there any way of getting back on the 870 web UI?Attached Devices list shows for about a day then is not available on web app for RBE871
Hi, The Attached Devices list shows for about a day then is not available on web app for RBE871. I do a reboot then the attached devices show again for about a day.

Everything else works great - i get great internet all around/outside the house. Its just the attached device list issue- Thanks!Orbi 870 update issues
So today I set up my new 870 network. Finally got everything working and things were looking great. The wifi backhaul on the 870 is a MAJOR upgrade from the 750 I was on. While I was accessing the router via the web interface it flashed up it needed an update. Never had this on the 750 so always had to do it manually. I clicked the "update all" button and things looked as if they were going ok. However, an hour later, whilst the satellites have come back on and I'm somehow online, the router is still flashing white and I can't access it via the web page or the orbi app. Anyone got any ideas?Upgrading to 870 from RBR53 (Orbi AC3000 )
My current router is now considered EOL so looking to move to a Orbi 870. I'm wondering if it is possible to export the configuration from the old router and import it to the new one? I know a lot has changed, but it'd make configuration easier. Thanks in advance.Netgear Orbi 870 slow to stream from NVME SSD NAS
Hi Friends. I am a Netgear Orbi Newbie. I have just recently bought the 3 pack Orbi 870. I live in Perth, Australia. I upgraded from a much older system that did not allow me to stream 4K video from my QNAP SSD NVME harddrive to my computer. it was too slow. However, its still slow even with this upgrade. HOw do i fExtending Orbi RBE 871 system
I have the RBE 871 router with three 870 satellites. It works fine, but the devices farthest away - outdoor cameras - have the weakest connections. I'd rather not pay for yet another satellite, and am wondering if the Netgear Range Extenders would work for me. I see several on Amazon: EXS25, EAX15, EAX12, EX6120 ... any advice on which one would work best with my existing mesh system? Thanks in advance.Device blocking does not work on 870
I have an 870 system with router firmware V10.5.20.4_1.3.5. Device blocking does not work properly. The only time it worked is when I set a device to be blocked and happen to restart the router. When I went to unblock it, I also had to restart the router for that to work. In the web UI, nothing works at all. I browse to Advanced >> Security >> Access Control. When I select a device and hit "Block" I get a pop-up that says "Do you really want to block access to selected device(s)?" I hit OK and then the page reloads and the same exact device still says "Allowed" next to it. In the iOS app, the device will turn red but that is not reflected in the UI and has no affect. When I inspect what is happening with dev tools, I see a HTTP POST request to /dniapi/accessControl with the following payload: acl_enable=1&acl_default_policy=allow&display_allow_no_connect_sta=&display_block_no_connect_sta=&sub_list%5Bindex%5D=0&sub_list%5Bdevice_name%5D=&sub_list%5Bmac_addr%5D=&sub_list%5Bacl_strategy%5D=&sub_list%5Btype%5D=add&acl_strategy=0&action=save Here is a pretty format: acl_enable: 1 acl_default_policy: allow display_allow_no_connect_sta: "" display_block_no_connect_sta: "" sub_list: index: 0 device_name: "" mac_addr: "" acl_strategy: "" type: add acl_strategy: 0 action: save Then the UI does a GET request to get the device list and my device still has: "acl_strategy": "allow", in the JSON response. Having to reboot the router for these settings to work is a subpar experience. Is this a known bug or is there a workaround without having to reboot the router to block and un-block devices?
