RBRE960 cant connect locally
For some reason I cant connect locally or via orbilogin.net or orbilogin.login to my Router, I just get refused to connect
I can get in via the app
When I reboot the router i get access of for about 1 minute then it disconnects again
The only thing I changed was I blocked an IP address 192.168.1.85, But I have since managed to unblock it before the router disconnects but I still have the issue
Any idea what has happened to cause this please
Thanks
Nobber
Ok so it appears to be working again all ok, not totally convinced but this is what I did
- Blocked a specific IP that I could not recognise obvs NOT my PC
- After that the problem started, could not connect locally but could through the app
- connected via edge on my phone turned of Access control
- then was able to connect via my PC
- Turned access control back on then everything started working agin as it should
Thanks for all the replies

What modem do you have?
Have you checked in the app to see what IP address the orbi router is using? Try connecting with that

Thanks for the reply, dont have a modem I'm using a BT Hub in bridge mode, internet is working fine

what happens when a web browser attempts to open 192.1681.1?
windows for login credentials appears?
credentials are (accepted? rejected?)

Strange just connect via my phone through edge and connected ok
I turned of access control and connected straight away through Chrome...tried edge again and it seems to be ok now, I'll try turning on access control to see if thats the problem

The device running the web browser is connected to the LAN side of the Orbi, correct?
(either 'wired' or using the Orbi WiFi)
- Nobber1066Aspirant
wired, yes nothing changed

Tried both http and https for the web connection? (there is an optional setting on Orbi routers to allow only https connections)
- Nobber1066Aspirant
yes tried both
