Factory Reset Orbi RBR 850 and 1 RBS 850 Satellite
I’m preparing to reset my Orbi and Satellite. I’ve already spoken with someone on Reddit about it and I think he may also be a member here. Anyway, I just have 1 Satellite with my main Orbi RBR 850 R...
Most of us who watch this forum are very comfortable setting up an Orbi system using a computer that is wired directly to one of the LAN ports on the router. "piece of cake". Simply open a web browser to http://orbilogin.net . Ignore instructions to use the Orbi app and click on the link in tiny type at the bottom of the screen, "I do not have a smart phone."
(Yes, we ALL have smart phones, but we damn well want to use the web interface - take that, Netgear!)
The only critical part about wiring is that the unmanaged switch must be connected to one of the router LAN ports. It should not be between the router and the Internet Service Provider (ISP) fiber device.
Nice! Yeah I’ll set the RBR 850 up with Orbilogin.net. Hoping it’s rather straight forward. Once I hit the reset button on the main Orbi I hope the website will open up.
