Bought this router used, trying to setup. It shows connected but all I get is "Connection is not private". Will not go on internet. Is there something I should look for? I can't get on orbilogin ...

Mr. CrimpOn, Thank you so much for sticking with me and solving my Orbi problem. The last response you sent was most helpful. I typed 198.168.1.1 and then the link to orbilogin and it worked. I followed the page 27 instructions for safari all seems well now. thank you so much, I think I'm going to like this Orbi, speed on wifi is 250 mbps. Thank you, thank you. Respectfully, swiftgc1b

My Bad for going off on a tangent about the SSL Cert.
When purchasing a used router, I recommend doing a Factory Reset on it first thing. (Who knows what settings the previous owner used with it?)
Stick a sharp object, such as made by unbending a paperclip, into the tiny hole on the back labeled "Reset" and hold until the power LED turns orange and begins to flash. Pull out the paperclip.
Connect the computer Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the back of the router.
At this point, it should be possible to use Safari (or Chrome) to browse to http://orbilogin.net
If that does not work, the actual IP address of the router is usually 192.168.1.1 (which should be the Gateway IP address that the computer was told to use)
The user name should be "admin" and cannot be changed. The password should be "password". (all lower case)
