Cbr750 can't setup after reset
The cbr750 received a firmware update last week. I had problems and thought it was solved in this discussion. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-with-Built-in-Cable-Modem/Cbr750-after-firmware-upda...

There is a link at the bottom of the page telling you to download the orbi app. Link says if you have a mobile device, select here. This takes you thru the web browser based setup wizard/
Ensure your WiFi adapter drivers are up to date.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Set up the CBR with a wired PC and web browser at 192.168.1.1.
- LA2Mar 05, 2023AspirantI tried that. I get the same browser window telling me to download the Orbi app to connect at the app store or play store.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Orbi app multiple times. I can't get past the Netgear login each time even though I have the correct password and user name. I have tried my login even with the Orbi off. It seems like the Orbi is not completely uninstalling all the information.- LA2Mar 06, 2023AspirantI was able to get in. I changed my password and also at the login screen I selected to log in with a one time password which worked.
I am waiting to see if all devices are stable on the network. One new Windows 11 laptop is now dropping the connection off and on even though "reconnect automatically" is selected. It previously connected at WPA3 but had to roll back to WPA2 for some legacy devices. - FURRYe38Mar 06, 2023Guru - Experienced User

Enjoy. 📡- LA2Mar 06, 2023AspirantThank you. I did not see the link previously. Now I know to go to the bottom. Maybe the web page needs to put that at the top along with "If you are having trouble connecting the app click here." rather than advertising where to get the app that is causing the frustration. Just a thought.
Thanks for the tip to check the wireless drivers.
