ORBI66 is the WiFi name that was assigned at the factory (always the letters "ORBI" plus a two digit number. All router manufacturers do something similar in hopes that two neighbors will not have the same WiFi "out of the box". At least these are not as goofy as ATT and Belkin.)

The actual product number is found on the product label on the bottom of the case.

Would help to know which password is being rejected:

Web interface, or

Orbi 'app'

The RBR40 Orbi current firmware is indeed V2.7.4.24.

How did you determine that the router is upgrading, rather than simply rebooting?

Does anything appear in the Orbi log file when this happens?

The log is found using the Orbi web interface, see page 22 of the user manual:

The log is explained on page 97
