Orbi IOS App

I didn't bother with the APP when installing the router.  I did it from the browser.  However, when you install the APP it seems to expect to find the router connected too orbilogin.com and of course it isn't anymore.  So do I just throw out the APP because it won't give me a way to change the wifi name and password.  Seems to be silly to just loop back and forth looking for the router with the wrong wifi name and not give you a way to change the wifi name it is looking for.  I realize it thinks it needs to install the software, but short of resetting the router to factory defaults and running the APP to install it, I don't see a way around this silliness.
