the App says that my user is admin but it keeps asking me email so im going in circles. thank you
The Orbi app is (in my biased opinion) a mess. You are correct. When you open the app, it often fills in "admin" for user name when in fact the app requires the Netgear login, which is an email and a password. Why it puts in "admin" in the first place is a mystery to me. It is irritating to have to erase "admin" and put in the correct user ID.
The Orbi web interface has a fixed user name of "admin" (which cannot be changed), plus a password. These credentials have no relationship to the Netgear login.
