Set up Orbi for someone else
Hi,
I have an Orbi 750 and love it. I recommended it to my son and plan to set it up for him in his home in the coming days.
Question: How can I set up the Orbi for another at their location with their account?
I want to set this up for him and do it under his account - not mine - so I do not want to use "Set up a new Orbi System" on my app.
I see no way to log out of the app on my Android so I can't log in with his credentials to start the set up.
The only possible solution I have found is:
- Uninstall the app from my phone.
- Reinstall.
- Set up his system with his account.
- Uninstall the app.
- Reinstall
- Log in with my own credentials to access my current set up in my own home.
It seems there should be a more elegant solution than this...
Appreciate any assistance.

You could just log in through the browser and set it up that router.
I do it all the time for setting up systems for others.
then they can add it to their account/app anytime.
Thank you Plemens. So confirming -
I assume this is the login: orbilogin.net
Then use the admin account and password that comes with router?yes
you can also use its ip address.
When I'm setting it up for others, I actually don't even connect it to the internet. Then have the person setting it up at their location run that part of setup.
