"orbilogin.com" requires a Domain Name Server (DNS) to resolve the name into an actual IP address. My practice has been to use the actual IP address of the Orbi router in my web browser, such as "http://192.168.1.1" (no quotes). What happens when you use the IP address?

It requires a user name and password.
Now what?

The Orbi web interface user name is always "admin" and the password is the Administrative Password that was set when the Orbi was configured. Out of the box, it is set to "password", and users are brow-beaten into changing it.
If you used the "app" to set up the Orbi, setting the Admin password may have flown by quickly and you may not have made a note of it.

I'm outside watching roku with a whopping 52Mbps link rate, looking at my iPhone with a 104 Mbps rate trying to use my Amazon Fire with a, get this, 1 Mbps link rate. I'm all of 15 ft from the satellite.
Of course all on 2.4G

Finally got into orbilogin.com and set my 2.4G to 75% and the 5 G to 50%
My firmware version is v2.3.5.30
I have been disconnected probably 5 times during this ordeal. I am now sitting 4 ft. from the satellite, only been disconnected once!

v2.3.5.30 has know problems
Did you do a manual update? If so, why?
IF you can't get this worked out with v2.3.5.30 installed you may have to stepback to the previous firmware.
