You are not connected to your Orbi's WiFi network. To access orbilogin.com, your device must be connected to your Orbi's WiFi network. Check your current connection and try again.
I am connected to the network wirelessly via the ORBI access point and the funny thing is that I can connect just fine to Orbilogin.com from my iPad or iPhone. Neither a laptop that is wireless only, nor a desktop connected wirelessly, will connect to orbilogin.com. I wold lke to be able to administer the system from other than my phone or iPad.
Please advise. Thanks.
hi
access your current routers gui and dhcp server client list
find what ip address the orbi router has and use that address to access the orbi router , you can do the same to access the orbi sat by typing in its allocated ip address
btw to make life easier you can reserve ip addresses for the orbi router and sat in your upstream router dhcp servers reserved section
'however i dont see much need to access the orbi router if its in AP mode as your upstream router is doing all the important stuff , what is the make and model of the upstream router

Thanks, that was helpful. I need to access the router and satellites in order to update the firmware. I have the ORBI connected to an Actiontech router which is connected to my FIOS network. I had hoped that I could eliminate th Actiontech router and connect the ORBI directly. But I spent several hours and gave up. I even cloned the MAC address, the IP and DNS servers, but it wouldn't connect to the internet.
