Hello oceanaveprops ,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you are not able to set the password to your guest network successfully. Please try navigating to orbilogin.com and then disable the guest network. Then enable your guest network set the password then restart your system.

Hello oceanaveprops ,
No problem!
Please follow the steps listed below to successfully carry out the recommended fix:
- Navigate orbilogin.com.
- Enter the router admin username and password. ( The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The username and password are case-sensitive.)
- Then Click "Advanced".
- Now, Click "Setup".
- Then, Uncheck all the boxes and click apply.
- Now, Enable the guest network and the SSID Broadcast.
- Then, Select "WPA2-PSK [AES]" and choose a password.
- Finally, Select Apply.
- Now, Select the "Advanced" tab.
- Then, Click reboot and wait for your router to come back online.

Thank you. There is no login page on the orbilogin.com site based on your recommendations. I can log into the site using my netgear info but other than that I do not see anywhere there is a user admin and/or password to enter to access the router info you mentioned.
Please assist if possible. Am I in the right site? area/link of the site?
Thank you.
When users are connected to the Orbi, using either an Ethernet cable or via WiFi, and opens a web browser to http://orbilogin.net , the router intercepts the URL and connects the web browser to the Orbi router web administration, which pops up a login box asking for User Name and password.
If the user is not connected to the Orbi system, then what comes up is a page at Netgear's web site talking about how to Login & Setup an Orbi system.
Are you connected to the Orbi system when trying to use a web browser to reach http://orbilogin.net ?
Hello oceanaveprops ,
Thank you for the additional information!
Once you log into the site please skip the third bullet point "Then Click "Advanced". Then follow the instructions in order from the third bullet point to the last.
