Cannot change my Orbi admin password!
Netgear Community, I'm having difficulty changing my admin password for my Orbi router. My troubles begain this afternoon when I was updating the router's firmware. I got an email from Orbi ...
Wanted to close the loop on this. Turns out that, when changing the password, you cannot cut and paste the new password into the new password field. When I typed it in, everything worked fine.
This seems odd, since I cut and paste the password in from my password manager everytime that I log in. Apparently it's only a restriction when you're setting a new password.

Thanks for reporting the resolution. Now that we are being hounded to use password managers, copy and paste will become a constant activity. I had a similar issue copying passwords when the copy function would silently expand to include a trailing space (where there was not supposed to be one). Yet another reason to want the option to "display" what is being entered, rather than simply show dots.
