orbilogin.com doesn't work in AP mode
I'm running into an odd situation after switching to AP Mode where I can no longer access orbilogin.com. What's strange is I cannot find my router at all. I did a quick network scan of every device r...
Reset the Orbi using the reset button. Press and hold for a long time. This will reset everything to default, including the password.
From the Orbi manual:
"You can return the router or the satellite to its factory settings. Use the end of a paper clip or a similar object to press and hold the Reset button on the back of the router or satellite for at least seven seconds. The router or satellite resets, and returns to the factory settings."
But resetting it to the factory settings puts it back to the wifi password it shipped with? If so I don't remember what that was.

Right. I'm sure you can figure out the default password by yourself.
Google "orbi default password", or read the Orbi User Manual online, or read the documentation that came with Orbi, etc.
The default WiFi password is even printed right on the Orbi!
Right, that was my question. I've accidentally thrown away the plastic sleeve that was on the Orbi that shows the default wifi password. Manuals and Google searches only yield the default password to the orbi itself once you've connected to the wifi network. So I have no way of connecting to the wifi network it creates on first startup. Finding the password to do the setup after connection is easy, in fact it's `admin:password`.

I believe the default WiFi password is on the label, which is permanently attached to the Orbi. Look on the bottom of the device. You would need to be quite determined to remove that label.
Regardless, even if you have no idea what the WiFi password is, you can always reset Orbi, connect a computer to a LAN port on Orbi, and log into the Orbi setup screen using a browser at http://192.168.1.1 (using default credentials of admin/password) and set the WiFi password to whatever you choose.
So, I don't understand what the problem is here...
