    If you are using the Orbi web interface (http://orbilogin.com, or http://<ip of Orbi>) this is "normal" (sigh).  Many browsers now warn "unsecured!!!" any time the user browses to a URL that is "http:" instead of "https".  Just connect and go on.

    Use a wired PC to setup the system. Be sure you change the SSID name to something custom and input a password for the wireless and give a PW for the admin log in. Use any broswer.
