“What type of features does the app have? Can you control devices in the way that EERO and Luma are marketing? I've had Netgear routers for years. But need a mesh system . Currently, the UI for these routers are very limited.”

This router comes with netgear Genie app which helps you see the devices currently connected at any point, see the speed used by each of them, disable or pause internet for them individually. I use this to control my kids devices so they get some exercise or play or read away from screen time to time :) It uses the mesh system and provides very good wifi speed.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Check out the NetGear Genie app. It works with the Orbi and has more features than the Orbi app.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.On main page you just see how many satellites you have connected and status to internet like online/offline. At the bottom you see how many devices are connected to your wifi and if you click it you'll get an overview of them. There's then a menu, with wifi connection info, device info, add new satellite, support and lastly a reset function. That's it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The UI is web based. You have a basic configuration tab and an advance tab. In the advance tab is where you can get your nerd on. No creating an account and so forth like the other systems. Just log into the UI via web browser and go from there. There is also an app available for phones and tablets, but currently it will only tell you whats connected (devices and satellites) and allow you to change your wifi SSID and password. thats all. All other management is done through the web browser.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The app needs a refresh but it is the Netgear Genie app. You can do a search online for the interface.
