Netgear Orbi RBK50 router

Has anybody had any success using Device_Tracker with any Netgear products. I have spent the better half of (2) days trying to connect only to find that i am unsuccessful.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you had any luck with this model?

I’m running a Netgear R7000 and it is excellent for device tracking in my house.

However I am looking into a mesh networking solution (to extend the network into the garden primarily) and would want something that works at least as well as the R7000 for device tracking.

I assume that this newer model router uses a substantially different interface, is this causing issues perhaps? Anything in the Netgear device logs?

Actually just noticed that the Orbi is specifically mentioned on the Netgear device tracker page: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker.netgear/

Have you specified port 80 in your config?

Hi @derekwit
