Can't access Orbi Remote Management Web Interface
I've enabled remote management per page 103 of the orbi manual (http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBK50/Orbi_UM_EN.pdf), but chrome still will not open the orbi web login page when on LTE. I...
Sorry if this is a dumb question: Are you typing "https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1024" or "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1024" (no "s").
I am one of the users who find it strange that Negear uses unencrypted (http) web for administration, but I had never looked at Remote Administration. On the setup page for Remote Administration, it shows the web link as "https://".
Silly me. I had never thought to see how adminstration was set up for "remote."

So, the app works over LTE, but a web browser does not? And, another browser besides Chrome fails the same way?
Might try setting the port to 80 (the default for http). As the manual points out, this is less secure than picking some random port number, but the goal is to get it working first and this removes one variable. There are no restrictions on remote IP, correct?
The app works over LTE and other wifi networks. Web browsers work over neither.
Safari says "Safari can't open the page 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1024' because the server unexpectedly dropped the conneciton. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again." The port range that I'm allowed is 1024 to 65535. It won't let me set to 80. I guess I'll open up a support ticket tonight if all else fails.

Wow, this was it. All that hair pulling and it was as simple as this. Funnily enough both chrome and safari defaulted to the non encrypted version, and all I had to do was make it "https".
