Unable to login to Orbi RBR50 after trying to add new satellite...
Need help... been using RBR50 with one RBS50 for a long time without problems. Always been able to login to ORBI settings with my router IP address at: https://192.168.2.1/adv_index.htm ...
Now added the new satellite.
Updating firmware to latest (like the Router and Sat-1).
So the main problem here seems to be that when I used the app to add a new satellite, the password somehow became invalid. Is that possible?
However... it does seem like I could just go on the web interface and change the password to the old one, because the web interface does not say anything about not being able to use those specific special characters/symbols.
Weird... just lost me an hour of my work time :(
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
Ya the web page login shouldn't change.
Default is admin not Admin. I recommend not using any special characters for the RBRs log in page. If your the only one with access to the RBR, then general alpha and numbers are only needed.

And instead of using the Orbi app, you can just press the sync button on the RBS then the RBR and they will sync as well.
Ya. the RBRs web page log in shouldn't be effected.
Mark your thread as solved so others will know.
