Orbi AC3000
I’m trying to set up and i get to where the router tries to join the Orbi WiFi address but it can’t connect and doesn’t come up on my WiFi settings?

I know it can be frustrating.
Start again:
reboot ISP modem/router, reset Orbi router before connecting to ISP router, connect Orbi to ISP router and turn on, run the app to configure the Orbi router, following the instructions. This should get you setup, unless you are having an issue with WIFI on the device you are using for setup.

the PW for the default wifi will be printed on a sticker that comes on a removable slip ring on the RBR and should be printed on the sticker on the bottom of the RBR. This differs from the admin log in for the RBR web page.
Be sure your entering in the correct PW for the default SSID name. Otherwise use a PC, Laptop and web browser to access the RBRs web page.
