"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?

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.
