192.168.0.1

i repeatedly type 192.168.0.1 in the address bar, but I get an error message all the time.  What am i doing wrong?

 

And by the way, what is the number used to get into the ORBI?

 

Thanks

       I've never seen that error message.

       What are you doing?

       "the ORBI"?  You have an Orbi?  Has it a model number?  Look for
    "Model" on the product label.

       What, exactly, do you have?  What, exactly, is connected to what,
    exactly?  (Hint: If a device has different types of Ethernet ports, then
    "connected to device" is not enough detail.)

       Of some web browser or other?  Running on some computer or other?
    Running some OS or other?  Connected in some way or other to one of your
    Netgear devices or other?  Has that computer an IP address of its own?

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.
    Look for "192.".

     

       Note that if you cascade multiple routers (for example, connecting
    some Orbi router to a C7800 modem+router), then the inner router might
    configure its LAN on some non-default IP address subnet.  That's one of
    the reasons for using those special Netgear names ("routerlogin.net",
    "orbilogin.net", and so on) rather than an explicit IP address.
