If your remotely tryin to connect the the Orbi system, you'll need to find the WAN IP address which will be seen on the RBRs web page, under Advanced Tab in the Internet section list or the WAN IP address and port number should be displayed on the remote management section of the RBRs web page. Use this https://WAN IP Address:port#### in a web browser at your location to access the remote RBRs web page.
If your not at the location physically, have someone log into the RBRs web page to get this information for you.
