RBR50 V2.7.4.24 that I am unable to clear Security Options (WPA2-PSK) password.
I have reset the router using the pin hole and electronic reset using the interface. I have the password that I used to log into the admin side of my Orbi that keeps returning to the Security Option...
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

I have the password that I used to log into the admin side of my Orbi that keeps returning to the Security Options (WPA2-PSK) and I cannot seem to remove it. It then stops me from being able to connect wirelessly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated on how to clear it forever.
Could there be a semantic issue?
The password entry on the Wireless web page that begins "Security Options (WPA2-PSK)" reflects the choice made on the radio buttons above:
- No password
- WPA2-PSK [AES]
- WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]
Selecting "No password" will remove the password entry section of the web page. There will not be any password requirement to connect to the WiFi network.
Selecting either of the other options will change the text heading to match, and a password must be supplied. (the field cannot be left blank)
Whatever action is attempted will not become effective until the user clicks the blue "APPLY" button at the top of the page.
If a router has been truly "Factory Reset", it is impossible for it to revert to anything. The WiFi SSID/password will be what is printed on the product label and will remain that way until the user deliberately changes it.
