- I fixed it by turning off wifi on my phone and using cellular. Then turning on my VPN and logging in remotely via. web browser which worked for some reason. Then I logged out turned off the VPN and tried logging in again over the via. the web browser and it worked. Not sure what caused it but this worked.

Latest firmware version is installed. Broadband provider router/modem is Heuwei HG659 and this is bridged to the Orbi. I’m not doing a factory reset for this issue. It is yet again and Orbi bug as even if another session is logged in, the one you are logging into is meant to log that one out but it doesn’t work. Anyone else having this issue when logging into the router using your IP address via. Safari or Chrome on your iPhone using cellular data as opposed to wifi?
- When remotely logging in to Orbi, do you use the correct port number that you can set under >> ADVANCED >> Advanced Setup >> Remote Management?
- Also please try disabling Remote Management, click Apply, and then re-enable again.

A factory reset and setup from scratch maybe needed.
