Wifi Security? Its already enabled by default after its setup using the Orbi app or using the RBR management web page which is preferred at 192.168.1.1 or orbilogin.com.

My Orbi 35 wifi router is infected with the "Man in the middle " virus and re-setting the router does not solve the problem - any suggestions ?

Can you please share what information has led to this conclusion about a "Man in the middle"? ORBI35 is probably the WiFi SSID printed on the product label.Please look at the label and report the "model number" of the router.Thanks
