I find the Orbi 'app' very confusing. My experience has been that the login prompts are misleading and not very helpful.
The 'app' is connected to Netgear's "cloud" and uses the Netgear login and password to connect. This is usually an email address and a password. Yes, the app helpfully fills in "admin" for a user name, but that's not what it wants.
Can you please try putting in the same credentials that you use for the community forum?

Did you set up the RBR with a log in PW for the admin account? If no, then you need to reset the RBR and setup from scratch. Walk thru the setup wizard. Be sure to give a PW for the admin account for the RBRs web page. After completing the setup wizard. You should be able to log in to the RBRs web page using the admin account and the PW you set up for that account.
