I have tried this, in the past, with different results. Maybe it was because it was different hardware, older technology, etc. It is worth the try, but it was a headache adding the orbi from my old mesh network with some of the devices that had to be removed and re-added to apps, which means the settings get wiped out as well. If the hard reset has to happen, totally worth the try, but I also don't want to lose other configurations that I have set up as well.

Well, something to try with the RBR disconnected. The Recovery window should appear in the browser after 3 log in failures. Try a different browser. I use MS-Edge all the time.
Again, if this fails, you'll need to factory reset and setup from scratch...
