RBR850 -- 192.168.1.1 on my PC now brings me only to app suggestions!
I've had an Orbi system for a few years. RBR850. Never any problem changing router settings. Recently I had some mystery issue where had to reboot cable modem, Orbi, etc. That fixed internet access....

Glad you got it working!
If you mark it solved, it keeps others from trying to continue to fix the issue for you đ

I did see the thing at bottom "I don't have a smartphone" but when I clicked on that I got some sort of apparently semi-useful message, but still no opportunity to get directly to router settings.
Ultimately, all is well.
Factory reset.
Fortunately, I didn't have any custom settings (e.g., reserved addresses) so I was up and running with my satellites in a minute or three.
Thanks!

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