Perhaps you could expand on the terminology. "Install my Orbi network" could mean:
- Connect the laptop to the Orbi WiFi (not the Orbi to the laptop), or
- Open the Orbi web interface to change the configuration or perform setup.
When you open a web browser and get the message

- Which web site did you attempt to open?
- Can you take a screen shot of the browser window and attach it (using the "Browser" button below)
