ORBI RBK50v2 BEST WAY TO SETUP?
What is the best way to setup the ORBI RBK50v2 after doing a factory reset? Setup by connecting to PC or Setup by using the ORBI App from Apple Store using IPhone?
Assuming that you want to configure the system*, most people who are active on the forum prefer to use the web interface over the 'app'. (by far). In addition, most of us "old timers" prefer to use a computer (PC, Mac, laptop) that is connected with an Ethernet cable to the router.
* If you are comfortable using the WiFi name (SSID) & password printed on the label and have nothing else to configure, the system will function perfectly well without any 'setup' at all. Many of us elect to have the WiFi system use the exact same SSID/password as all our devices already know about, which means the system has to be configured.
