On my Router, I have changed the UID.  It is not admin.  I did that for security.

 

Unfortunatly, the ORBI app and the insights app default to admin.  Hence I cannot use these tools.

And chance the "Engineers" could address this?  I suppose I could just open a ticket. But thought I would ask the Community

Thoughts??

 

Cheers

Admin is the industry standard for almost all routers. Also, it really doesn't hurt security as long as you use a complicated password.
