Orbi App issues

RBR750

RBS750 x 2

Firmware version V3.2.16.22

 

iPhone 11 pro software 14.4

 

Bought and installed the Orbi Wifi 6 today.  The app has not worked at all.  It only recognized the RBR once and then it didn't recognize the internet.  

 

I had to backdoor the setup of the entire RBR and RBS. Internet and wifi is working fine, but the app is still hanging up.  I've uninstalled/reinstalled the app and tried to set it up again.  Now it is in a closed loop telling to sign into the admin.  I log in, it does the face ID, and tells me that the password is incorrect.  I bypass the face ID, type my password, and it just opens the admin login page again. (if I enter the wrong password, it tells me the password is incorrect.)

 

How do I get past the admin log-in page so I can use the app for the rest of the features?

SOLVED.  Re-booted the phone and app for about the 4th time.

Re: Orbi App issues

ALL USERS of the 7 series Orbi AX system, please contact NG support by opening a support ticket and contact NG and ask them for the beta that seems to be avialable for the 7 series that seems to be directed to fixed what everyone with a 7 series has been having problems with:

Re: Orbi App issues

Thanks.

 

Yes.  Setting up the app and installing the AX4200 system with the app proved impossible.  I was able to setup the system manually and then after numerous re-boots of the iPhone, I was able to get the app to catchup.  Someone with less network experience would have returned the product.

Re: Orbi App issues

Glad you got it set up manually. 

Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. 
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
