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...

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.

        Thanks. I'd love to do some of the setup ahead of time, but I've been trying today to log into the new router via browser with no luck.

        I guess I'll just do it on location and hope it works 🙂

        Thanks much.
