Everytime I sign in to Router login 192.168.1.1 it seems to automatically be changed to 192.168.1.1:80 (with the :80) is this an legitimate login? Thank you.

Port 80 is the TCP port for http, which is what the Orbi web interface uses. (Port 443 is the port for https.)
In many instances, people deliberately have web sites listen to different ports (8080 is a common one), so putting the port number after the colon is the way to indicate that.
That said, I have never seen a web browser actually "add" the port number. Perhaps try a different browser or clear the browser cache?
