Orbi set up.
I'm trying to setup my Orbi Mesh. When I get to Admin and Password. It keeps saying "Logon Time Out. Any advice?
Thank You . I will wait for new app
(I keep forgetting that many people purchase electronics just to use them, as opposed to play with them as I do.)
Fortunately, consumer WiFi systems (literally) require no setup except in the case where the Internet Service Provider (ISP) requires a user login. Plug the thing in, read the WiFi credentials off the product label, and "it works."
In my case, I have used the same WiFi credentials for over 15 years and have over 30 devices in the house which are set up to use them. Without configuring a new WiFi system to those credentials, only the devices connected directly with Ethernet cables would have internet. I also use features which cannot be configured using the Orbi 'app', such as OpenVPN to reach my local devices from the internet, using a different DNS provider than Spectrum, etc.
We're all hoping the new app will be out soon (and that the problem will be fixed).
