XR1000 Username Change

Every video I've seen that shows how to change the username on this router was using the old Genie system and now it's using this DUMAS OS and I cannot figure out how to change my username, unless the only path is to reset the entire Router? Will that work as well? There is no box that says Wireless that allows me to access the Username and password on this Dumas os version. Any Help would be appreciated.

Re: XR1000 Username Change

Are you referring to the WiFi name? If so go to Settings on the router and you'll see WiFi Setup there.

No actually the Username to log into the router itself. I used to have one, I don’t own an Orbi, but I heard the username on those was permanently “admin” I still have a copy of the old one. Don’t know how or when it changed.

Re: XR1000 Username Change

admin is the default name and log in for most NG routers. And is not changable.
