ORBI70 phone app acting insanely
"(Include additional detail including model version, firmware, OS and environment where relevant.)" There is no model number on the router. I have no idea what firmware it uses. I did have that on ...
When Orbi routers leave the factory, they each have a default set of WiFi credentials (SSID and password). These are printed on the label on the bottom of the router. The default SSID is the letters "ORBI" plus a two digit number, and the password is a combination of common words plus a number, such as crazymonkey23.
That product label should also display the actual product number, such as RBR750. (The second R standing for "Router")
Yes, the Orbi 'app' can be frustrating. I, myself, NEVER use the app unless I am attempting to answer a question on the forum.
When any device is connected to the router, such as the Windows 10 PC or the iPhone, the Orbi web management page can be found at http://orbilogin.net , which the router translates into its own address: usually 192.168.1.1
That brings up the web management system. The default user name is "admin" (and cannot be changed). The default password was originally "password", but you were probably forced to change it during the original setup. (hope you remember it)
Could you please look at the product label again and see if it has anything similar to "RBRxxx"?
No RBRxxx anywhere on the router. I tried the link you gave but couldn't connect.
I don't know what this means or what to do about it. I never got it before but do now after I changed the setting to use http:// on this very page.
