RBR50 Moving Countries
Seeking configuration advice from NG community. Background Permanently relocated 3 months ago with my Orbi RBR50 (router + satellite) from: Qatar (original configuration network = Ooredoo) to ...
Given that this is a "new environment", there is little harm in doing a Factory Reset on the Orbi.

After this is done, connect the Orbi to the internet modem.
The Orbi WiFi SSID and password should be what is printed on the product label (on the bottom).
The Orbi web interface (using a web browser) will have user name "admin" and password "password".
I (personally) prefer to use the web interface. I you really (seriously) insist on using the Orbi "app", then connect the Android device to the Orbi WiFi and open the Orbi app. It should take it from there.
As well as that sound advice from CrimpOn, there can be wrinkles in moving countries. Sometimes the "drop down" that allows you to pick where you are in various settings, especially wifi regions, is greyed out.
This is especially true of devices sold in the USA, where FCC rules prohibit the use of some wifi wavelengths.Kit sold elsewhere usually doesn't have the same "big brother" state interference.
It probably doesn't matter, and may not even affect you, but if you do hit that brick wall come back. There are ways around it.
