WiFi access requires a WiFi name (SSID) and password. When the Orbi is factory reset, these are the credentials printed on the product label. Most users change them to something they find more personal.
The Orbi web management interface requires a user name, which MUST be "admin" and a password. When reset, the password is "password" and the user is practically forced to change it to something more secure.
The Orbi "app" uses an email/password combination which is usually the same one used to access the Netgear web support site and user community forum.
An Orbi can be taken out of the box, plugged in and used without ever being configured. User the WiFi credentials on the label and plug ethernet cables into the router and "it just works."
An Orbi can be configured entirely from the web interface without ever installing or using the "app". The web interface allows control of ALL Orbi features and capabilities, many of which are not present in the app.
An Orbi can also be configured using the "app", but there is no access to the advanced settings.
