Need a wired PC or laptop and web browser connected to the back of the RBR.

FURRYe38 is correct. When Orbi is 'factory reset', the wired interface comes up with user name "admin" and password "password".  The WiFi comes up with the SSID and password printed on the label, which is missing.  The only solution is (a) to get a friend to bring over a laptop with an ethernet port, or (b) carry the Orbi someplace where there is a desktop or laptop that can connect to it.  Configure the Orbi.  Verify that the mobile can connect to it, and take it home again.
