Regarding the managing of my mesh system once I have things setup. I have the Orbi App for iphone. I can login and see everything just fine so far. I've heard that if this app gets updated my login credentials may get all screwed up!
I have logged in to orbilogin.com and then I've noticed in the community and people reference orbilogin.net. Are these two websites basically one in the same and it doesn't matter which one you use. It seems that orbilogin.com uses different credentials that orilogin.net orbilogin.com uses the same as my orbi app uses.
If I change my password on orbilogin.com will that change my password that I use on orbi app for iphone?
I don't want to mess up whats working right now. In the community information there seems to be a lot of people that have been forced to change something on the app side maybe a new phone and downloading a new app. Or getting a firmware update and their login abiltiy to manage there orbi system all goes to pieces.
Any insight on these sites, the app and how credentials work and stay in sync with each other would help a lot!
Correct. If you change the routers admin log in PW on the RBR using the WEB UI, the Orbi app will not see this change so you'll need to input the new PW once you lunch the Orbi all.
So if I login to the Orbilogin.com web interface and I change my password for that login. Does that new password follow through to the Orbi App? Meaning the next time I use the Orbi App it will ask me to login and I will need to use admin and the new password?
Same however one can load in to the RBRs WEB UI page using a web browser with that log in address and use same router log in information, i.e. admin and password. Orbi app is also tied to your NG profile account which you may have already set up.

The WiFi login, which is set at the factory to the letters "O-R-B-I" plus two digits and some combination of words, such as "sillymonkey26". Users often change these credentials to match the previous WiFi router so that user devices do not have to be reconfigured.
The router web administration credentials, which come from the factory as "admin" and"password". "admin" cannot be changed and the user is badgered into changing "password" into something more secure. Netgear routers intercept attempts to resolve several domain names, such as routerlogin.com, routerlogin.net, orbilogin.com, and orbilogin.net and substitute the IP address of the router itself. The web admin password can be changed from the web management interface.
The Netgear profile credentials, which are usually an email address plus a password. This is used by the Orbi 'app' to login to the Netgear "cloud". It cannot be managed from the Orbi web interface. They are entirely separate.
