I can no longer get to Orbi login page. MODEL RBR40

My model is the RBR40 but for some reason it doesn't come up in the Model drop-down list.

Anyway, I can no longer access my router login page to check settings. I get prompted for two security questions that I answer correctly but it ends up looping back to the questions page again. I've read the various help pages and suggestions , Youtube videos and nothing works. Is it possible my model is obsolete ? it's RBR40 and it's no longer listed as a Netgear product. I purchased it only two years ago.  

Forgot to mention, I'm trying to access from my Macbook Pro.

Thanks

TonyDee

    Have you tried another web browser?

      Same problem here, finally used my router password and it worked momentarily to log me into the app. Then I reopened it two minutes later and now it is prompting me to log into a "Netgear - One Account. Any App." login screen. None of my passwords work, neither does a password reset.

      It keeps saying "an error has occurred. Try Again."

       

      Extremely frustrating an inexcusable to have such basic problems for an app.

        Hi svicini

         

        Can you still access the router settings page via browser? Newer firmware requires a criteria for admin password. The new password requirements for an admin password are:
        No more than two like continuous characters
        1 Upper Case
        1 Lower Case
        1 Number
        1 Special Character

        With your current password, does it meet the requirements? If not, please access the router settings page via browser and change the password.

    Hi TonyDee3 and JenniferY

     

    How do you access the Orbi login page? Is it via Orbi App or web browser? 

    If it is an Orbi app, kindly provide the Orbi App version. Please make sure that you have the latest app version installed. 

    If you are accessing it via web browser, have you tried another Web browser as what DarrenM suggested? Kindly tell us the web browsers you have tried.

      Uninstalled and reinstalled app, so version is not the issue. Have tried both safari and google chrome.
