Re: Serial Number not recognized orbi

I have the solution (having had the serial number not recognized problem).

You need to wait 5 minutes before entering the serial number.

 

It is not clear that this delay is required, but the message does say that the modem (router) is locked for 5 minutes.

At least I could remember the answers to the two security questions that were then asked.
