If Amazon sold you a returned system, then the previous owner may have changed the Administrative login password as well as the WiFi name (SSID) and password. Time to get out a paperclip, unbend it, and stick the end into the tiny "Reset" hole on the back of the Orbi near the power jack. Hold it in until the power LED turns amber and begins to flash (about 10-15 seconds). At this point, the Orbi will be returned "to factory", which means the WiFi SSID and password will be what is printed on the label and the Administrative password will be "password". Good LUck.
Use a wired PC and web browser and log into orbilogin.com or 192.168.1.1.
Setup a new and custom unique SSID name and Password. Save the change. Give about two minutes. Check with one of your wireless devices to see if the SSID name you set appears. If not, the system is bad so return the Orbi system and ask for another system.
