myriad_rocker.....don’t worry mate.....I’m hanging on every word in this thread hoping someone will come in one day and say “ITS FIXED”....but not holding my breath. I haven’t checked the update yet but manually entering router address seems to have calmed things down a bit...but like I said...there is no way this should have to be done
ive got a couple of weeks to decide to hold on or take back...we were allegedly getting NBN cable connected on the 18th but not a soul was sighted.

I just fell about laughing....after posting the previous post, I went to login to Orbilogin to see what was happening.....and I got this......

You can log into your Orbi anytime by using it's IP address. This isn't a big deal for those of us that have been playing with routers for years. In fact, I find the orbilogin thing to be convenient when I'm using a wireless client or wired to the Orbi router or satellite, but have no problem using the IP address of my router...in fact I have a bookmark in my browser's bookmark toolbar for both the router and satellite, which makes it pretty easy for me.

TP-link, Linksys, and others have already gotten it fixed... How long for a Chromecast/Android fix Netgear?

Yep thanks Roger, I’ve done that myself...login to IP....that is. It just struck me funny that that page would appear, probably cached from another attempted wifi access....like Netgear from the land of Mordor 😈
