Password continually needed
Orbi based network requires my password be entered on my phone 1-2 times each day. Pretty frustrating.
Yes, I’m familiar with how these passwords are usually remembered. That’s why I’m asking. My phone will remember dozens of network passwords but not my Orbi one that was just installed a week ago. Thanks for responding though.

Have you been in to check the saved wifi passwords on your phone?
It may be remembering an old password. Tell the phone to forget that and it may remember the new one.
As CrimpOn says it is really down to the phone to handle things like that. The router just puffs out wifi. What things do with it is in their hands.
- Appreciate the effort, but there seems something unique about this network. My phone has never forgotten a password for dozens of networks over the years. And this network is 1 week old and a brand new setup. So it does appear specific to the Orbi network. Thanks
Humour us. Stop making assumptions and investigate the suggestions people make.
If it really were a network thing, then we would see a lot of similar messages. We don't.
Did you change the wifi password on your Orbi?
As yet, we know nothing about what you are doing or how your setup is configured.
- Sorry, but there have been no suggestions other than the phone must be bad and there cannot possibly be an issue with the Orbi network. I’ve never run across this in my long experience with such things, so I thought I’d ask this community to see if there was a known issue. Apologies if I’ve done something that offended.
