Email Setup for Orbi RBR20
I'm trying to set up a gmail notifications from my Orbi Router. I following the exactly instructions from another poster, but it just doesn't work for my new gmail account.
I suspect the problem with gmail is that it now asks for a 2FA code as a condition for logging in.
If there's no way to make Gmail work for this purpose, is there some other email service that would work? Or is it just not possible anymore to get email notifications from an Orbi?
