Can't connect to my Orbi RBR750
Below is the message I get when on the desktop or laptop. On android phone I can see all 42 of my gadgets (printers/switches/cams, etc...), but I'm met with the message "We can't find your ORBI" and ...

Yes, NG is aware of it.
Try the reset. Some users systems are working, just can't connect to the routers web page or use Orbi app. In these cases, users may need to give some time to NG to get this resolved. It's only Monday. Factory esets were mentioned as working in Reddits as well.
Forums are for user to user experiences and support. It's up to users to try what others have posted about. There's the Orbi app forum as well that has the more posts.Otherwise, users can contact NG support and ask for there help and information.

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

I still can't connect to mine. Was a new firmware supposed to be pushed by now, or do I have to factory reset? What is the procedure for the factory reset?

My impression is that Netgear has pushed new firmware to every system that will accept it, but that some systems are not cooperating.
It appears (to me) that you have three choices:
- Continue to wait and occasionally restart the router.
- Send a private message to a forum moderator (by clicking on their screen name and selecting Send a Private Message) such as ChristineT . include the product serial number and Netgear will attempt to force an update to it during the night. (except this being the 4th of July weekend, I would not expect anything to happen quickly)
- Do a Factory Reset and go through the configuration manually.
