Orbi rbr750 geofencing issue
Hi, is anyone experiencing geofencing issues with their Orbi products?
3 of my apps that control heating and security relies on geofencing. When I’m at home those apps notify me that I’ve left the vicinity and then I’m back home.
As soon as my WiFi is turned off my products can locate me accurately but not on my Orbi. I’ve also check for firmware updates, I’m on the latest version.
Question for the community; is anyone else having the same issue where their Orbi is changing their location and if so is there a fix?

My point exactly. Once the phone running the Arlo app learned where the WiFi system was (for 9nine months), it took some time for it to "re learn" the new location (back home again). Now that the app has adjusted, there is nothing else required.
If you ever feel the urge to "do something goofy", I'd love to hear what happens if you perform that experiment.
