Hello Community Members,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you are unable to see the SPC tile on your Orbi app. Please ensure that you are using the same email address for my.netgear.com as you are with your Orbi app. Then verify that NETGEAR SPC is enabled on your device to achieve this you will need to use a computer.
Please follow to instructions below to verify your NETGEAR SPC subscription:
To verify that NETGEAR SPC is active on your router please do the following:
- Launch a web browser on a computer that is connected to your Orbi router’s WiFi network.
- Visit www.orbilogin.net.
- Enter the default user name and password.
The default user name is admin. The default password is password. (The BASIC page will be displayed on initial login). - Select ADVANCED > Security > Parental Controls.
- Click UPGRADE TO NETGEAR SPC at the bottom of the page.
- Select OK. (Please wait for your router to reboot.)
After you enable NETGEAR SPC through your web browser, the Parental Controls page no longer displays in your router's web interface. Use the Orbi app to manage parental controls settings and access NETGEAR SPC.
