Think I got scammed

Good move.  Certainly not Netgear.  (Notice the two "i"s in "orbilogiin".)  It's certainly not Netgear.  I have no idea what the process is to get internet name authorities to "unname" someone.  (Imagine how many variations one could come up with.  Remove the "dot" between www and orbilogin.  Change orbilogin to just orbi.)

I had been wondering how so many people came across these "non-Netgear" web sites.  Typing two i's in a row is one of my most common mistakes.

It's a 3rd party non official site with NG Orbi setup information on Orbi systems. Sites doesn't seem nefarious and information seems ok. Might be helpful for some users. Just as most initial setup, configuration and how to FW update all on one page. Seems like some non official support for Orbi. Take it or leave it. I would probably not use chat or give any information should one be asked though. I'd keep to 

https://www.netgear.com/support/

and https://www.netgear.com/support/#

for all your offical NG support needs...

Thought I should come here and see if anyone else had encountered it and found this post from 3 years ago!

 

Netgear, any mods here who could pass this on to your cyber team? - I'm sure it should just be taken down (or is it some kind of approved third party support site)?
