Hi,
My husband setup the Orbi wifi network and now we have switched to Virgin as a broadband provider and need to change the channel. Unfortunately he has forgotten the password. Please can someone advise how I may reset the system.
Many thanks in advance

I just recently reset my Orbi RBR50 and its 2 satellites. What I did was using a paper clip to push into the little hole in the back of the devices and hold there until the green light turned amber and started blinking. I did it first on the router and then 2 satellites. That should put them back to factory states, and you can set them up afresh.

Please ignore... I did the process again but I left the power to the modem and the orbi's off for 10 minutes. I all worked a dream after that! Thank you for both your replies!!!
You'll need to factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch as suggested. Besure to walk thru the setup wizard and this time, write down all important information for safe keeping.
