Factory Reset not accepting 'Password'
I attempted to rename the SSID on my new Orbi to my old SSID and used the same password as my old SSID so I didn't need to reconfigure every device. I turned to WiFi off of my Fios Gigabit router the...
How many characters is the SSID pw?
Access the Orbi routers log in page and set a new PW as a quick test, try a simple 1234acbd pw, save settings and apply then reboot the router. Clear out any prior profiles or Forget this Network on your devices then try connecting to the SSID and new PW.
If it works, go back in and set your old PW using same process as above.
Hi, thanks for the reply. I tried several more times and it accpted the password and allowed me to do a fresh install. I haven't attempted to revert to the old SSID so that is a project I will do later. It works fine for the moment. Its currently on the default pw.
Good to hear. I presume something maybe on the client side device may have got hung up. Clear out any old prior wifi profiles or forget this network features. Set up your old SSID and new PW then try again.
Good Luck.
Aren't there certain characters/spaces that cause an issue with passwords?
