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...
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.

If IrvSp has problems, there isn't much hope for the rest of us.
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.
Workaround not needed here. But no harm in using it.

It is a toss up as to who should fix it. Microsoft or Netgear.
If all other browsers can handle this, I'd finger the Edge developers. After all Netgear is only one victim of a disease that seems to have hit many other services.
It might help if, like some other browsers, Edge threw up a warning to users that also allowed them to cast their fate to the wind and login anyway.
But Netgear could also help by implementing more recent addressing, including the much demanded https.
