Orbi RBR50 getting "required authentication" or "no such file, directory" error when visiting websit
I am getting "authentication required" or "no such file, directory" error when visit any website. This error occured two days ago after I rebooted the Orbi router RBR50. The problem is similiar to the April 8, 2017 posting. But did not see the solution.

Could be a DNS issue you may want to reboot your modem and the orbi at the same time and try to access a site again.

Did you ever get a solution to this? I have exactly the same issue. Can’t reset because it says not connected to internet yet some pages load, others say “No such file or directory“ or “Authetification Required”. Thinking it may be hardware. Connection via the main (non-Netgear) router fine.
Factory reset the router using the pin push button in back for 15 seconds. Then with a wire connected PC or laptop, using a browser, connect to 192.168.1.1 and walk thru the setup wizard. You can skip adding the satellite and do that later. Complete the entire set up wizard process. This should complete then log you into the routers web page. After this, log out and you should have normal internet access.
What FW version are you using?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem?

Thanks. Presume FW is firewall. Nothing specific other than ISP which is Virgin Media - using their standard modem.
Can connect fine directly with Virgin Modem and everything working fine until this evening.
Will try the factory reset and set up wired. Could not re-set up using mobile app as said no internet connection.
