I have tried everything to get access to my router... I cant ... my verification questions dont seem to be correct even thought I have them written down.  How do I by pass?  and get access I need?  so sad...

  • I do not know if the security questions are "case sensitive" (like passwords).  You might try variations.

    Otherwise, the "last resort" is the famous "Factory Reset":

    After this is done:

    • The WiFi SSID/password are reset to the values printed on the product label
    • The web management credentials are "admin" and "password"
    • When you connect to the Orbi web interface, the setup will strongly encourage you to change the password.

    After you get set up again, it is probably a good idea to save the "configuration" to your computer so the next time you can take the option, "Don't set up from scratch.  I want to reload a previous configuration."

     

    Good Luck

  • What NG router are you referring too? 

    Try a factory reset on the router and walk thru the setup wizard...
