Orbi WiFi extender

Is the password on bottom of Orbi the only option to setup? And can it be changed?
Daughter trying to hook up Orbi I gave her and struggling to get it to connect

    Which Orbi?

     

    There are two "passwords", one for the router and one for the wifi.

     

    Both can be changed.

     

    Manuals are always a good place to start.

    Visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    Look for the model number on the label on the device.

    Begin with the Quick Start/Installation Guide.

    There may also be some helpful videos on what to do.

    You may have done that already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
