Overall the app does the basic for the simple user but to do other things like block website or really make any sort of adjustments to your Wi-Fi you'll have to pay for a subscription. I remember when these features were on every Netgear unit for free but now there is a pay wall. I hate what this subscription model has done to everything that once was free.

Wow. Abused notifications to advertise. Totally unacceptable. The app isn't exactly ground breaking with usefulness to begin with - use the Web interface - but then it decides it is acceptable to use the notification bar to +advertise+ to me. There's no excuse for that. Update. Still advertising. Still a subset of the web api. Still seems like an abusive relationship. Sorry I tried it again.

Orbi doesn't have the capability to broadcast the two bands 2.4 or 5g independently, which makes it difficult to connect to 2.4 devices. When I called the help desk, they suggested moving the device away from the router to connect to the 2.4 band wave. However, it's impossible for me to move the light bulb away from the router. In my opinion, it's better to buy other routers that are cheaper and more efficient, like Google Mesh."sh... Customer support is useless.
