Password Reset -
Somehow user and password are not working. any way to reset it easily? I've read that logging into Mynetgear and the registered product can elect to "reset password" but that option doesn't appear ...
Yes, I've been using the word "bridge" apparently incorrectly for AP mode. This is how it was setup before I could not get back in. Still not sure what cause the original password that was set to not work. Nonetless I reset it, an dreconfigured it to where it was. Appreciate everyones willingness to help.

Bridge mode is a confusing label, especially when applied to routers.
Is it a wifi bridge between a router and clients?
The Orbi manual refers to bridge mode for a very different setting.
Bridge mode is also used to describe disabling the router bit of a modem.
You may mean wireless access point mode. In which case there are other ways into the Orbi.
I see no mention of the modem that you use. My guess is that this is the cause of the problem.
You may be yet another victim of "Double NAT"
What is Double NAT? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
I am pretty sure it is indeed set to bridge mode as the router (An Apple Extreme) I am using is in the main building and the ORBI is in another building hardwire connected and in bridge mode. It does not issue IP addresses. The iPhone app does not work either as It appearently doesn't recognise that the wirelss network is set by the Apple Exterme and the ORBI is merely a satellite.

Yes, but what does that mean?
...the router (An Apple Extreme) I am using is in the main building and the ORBI is in another building hardwire connected and in bridge mode.Which bit is in bridge mode? Apple Extreme? Orbi?
I assume that "hardwire connected" means that there is a LAN cable from the Apple to the Orbi.

That smells like a double NAT issue.
What does "merely a satellite" mean.
In Orbi speak, "satellite" means just that, a separate satellite that runs off the main Orbi "hub". That hub can be a router or a router in AP mode. It cannot be just a satellite because Orbi satellites do not work without a hub.
Your RBR50 is not, and cannot be, "merely a satellite". It can be an AP.
If it feeds other bits of Orbi kit they are satellites.
We won't get much further if you just keep saying "bridge".
A configuration should look like this:
ISP Modem>Apple Router in router mode>Orbi in AP mode.

Glad you got the Orbi working again. Please mark your post as solved so others will know.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
