Orbi saying "Wi-Fi Login Required" and tries do a redirect!
Hello, everyone! My Orbi home network (with 2 satellites) has worked fine for about 2 years. My Kindle eReader has been on the network all that time with no problem. I noticed recently the Kindle was...
I had similar problems with my Ipads. When setting up my Orbi, I used the same SSID as my previous mesh system. the Ipads automatically connected, but had issues. Forgetting the network on the Ipads fixed the problem.
With that said have you tried forgetting the networks on you Kindle tablets?
To forget the Wi-Fi network that you're connected to, follow these steps:
1. While connected to the network that you want to forget, press the Home button, then press the Menu button.
2. Navigate to "Settings" by moving the 5-way controller down, then press the 5-way controller to select.
3. Select "view" next to "Wi-Fi Settings" to display a list of detected Wi-Fi networks. You may have to wait a moment as your Kindle detects networks in range. The Wi-Fi network you are currently connected to displays the word "forget" next to it in the list of available networks.
4. Choose "forget" to disconnect from the network
After forgetting the network, connect to the preferred network, type in password and you should be good.
That's one of the first things I did. Didn't work, unfortunately. I think the next step is to factory reset the router, which I am loath to do. It's such a pain with all the devices on two satellites, but it is what it is. Just fyi, I used the Kindle successfully on a trip for the last week and it logged on multiple nets just fine. It is most definitely a problem with the Orbi. I'll find it eventually. Thanks all.
