Cannot log into RBK50 router using MS Edge browser
I cannot log into my router with orbilogin.com when I use MS Edge browser.
Works fine with Chrome or if I use Internet Explorer.
I have started to use the Edge browser and kind of like it except I don't want to use it if I can't log into my router if I have to.
I had to change the IP address of the router because Xfinity uses the 10.0.0.1. But like I said I can reach the admin login page with Chrome or Internet Explorer either using the orbilogin.com or by typing in the IP address but not when using MS Edge.
I'm using Windows 10.
I also tried disabling the Firewall in Windows Defender but that didn't help.
Can you lead me in the right direction so I can solve the issue.
Any help is appreciated.
Sorry. Here's the link from the previous post.

It sounds like you have two routers on your network: the Orbi, and your modem, which it sounds like is actually a modem and router combination unit. You need to put one of them in bridge mode. The Orbi calls this AP mode. Which one you use as a router is up to you, and depends on which one you prefer as far as features, etc. But try putting one in bridge/AP mode, then release/renew the IP address of your device(s), and see if that fixes it for you.
While randomousity is on to something about the IP address, I fear that correcting the network configuration may not make Edge work.
Browser makers all round are tightening up on their security to prevent naughty things from attacking us. Sadly, in the process they also break things that we do want to work.

Yup, as I stated in the link, there is a WORK-AROUND, not really a fix. See https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/forum/all/microsoft-edge-browser-cant-access-network-ip/1e7d32c7-f8ed-431d-9b64-ed822dd28717, April 25th, 2018 enter in the thead.

Try the IP address.
