change email
Hi all, I have searched through other discussions, but I think it is not clear to me, so I will ask this question here. When I want to change my new email adress in the Orbi app at account se...
Weird. I used edge, chrome and safari. Cleared all cashes. I also used in private browsing. At home and at work. My own WiFi, work WiFi and 5g.
i deleted the app on my phone, logged on with the new email adres and that worked. It it kept saying use the other known email adres. Which I do now cause the it came back with the error everything and worked annoying.
I found out that I have to factory reset my router to be able to use my new email adres. Pretty lame I think, or is it? That is something I was not expecting and want to do…..for now.
Ya shouldn't have to factory reset the router, however possible how NG has the system paired with an email address and only way would be to reset the system and setup from scratch. Not sure though.
Seems like you got it changed.
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.

Enjoy. 📡
I was a bit too cheerful in my comment I guess.
When i log on with my new email adres, then I get an error everytime that there is another emailadress as main.
Everytime I use the app I get that error.
So I log on with my old email addres cause I gets annoying.
