password factory reset
My Orbi is over a year old but recently changed internet cable provider. When they installed internet I changed modem and when they connected the service they had to reset my Orbi router to get it to sync. I don't know what password they used but my factory password does not work anymore. I want to establish my own Orbi password now but the Netgear support instructions don't seem to cooperate. How do I reset the Orbi password?

I was able to reset password by using the step by step instructions I accidentally found on the Orbi Netgear app on my phone. It was very helpful and worked the very first try. Thanks for the reply!
Glad you got it going. Be sure to visit the correct Orbi forums for your model Orbi:
