Unable to login to orbi app credentials not accepted
Will not accept credentials that are successfully used with orbilogin.com. Samsung S10 phone. Uninstalled/reinstalled app, no luck. App will not allow press of FORGOT PASSWORD? button.
Re: Unable to login to orbi app credentials not accepted
I resolved the issue in the following way: Log into the router with a web browser. Change the login password for the router. Reboot the router. Again, with a browser, double-check that you can log in using the new password. If that works then try the app once again. This procedure worked for me. I hope you are successful with this. Knowknot0

The Orbi "app" uses a Netgear account login, not the Orbi web interface login. Please try the same credentials used to access the community forum.

I think we have a miscommunication. I just now installed the Orbi "app" on an Android phone and took screen shots of the opening screen and the login screen. (see attached)
The opening screen clearly offers a choice of
Sign into an existing account, or
Create a new account
I chose sign into an existing account (circled in red) and got the login screen.
The login screen asks for:
Email address and
Password
"admin" is not already filled in, nor is it a valid email address. It does not want the Orbi web interface login of "admin" and the admin password.
Looking at this more closely, I realize that when a person creates a new Orbi account, it could be any email address. When I originally loaded the Orbi app, I used my existing Netgear account credentials.
So, I am unable to reproduce the situation you are describing. Sorry.

Thanks for trying. My situation happens after this point. When I go to the dashboard it requests a login with admin credentials. That is the point where my login fails.

Oh, darn. "dashboard"?? Can you make a screenshot? I do not see anything in my Orbi app labeled "dashboard".
Re: Unable to login to orbi app credentials not accepted
Got it. This is definitely the Orbi web interface login credentials. (what would be entered when web browsing to http://orbilogin.net)
Can you log directly into the Orbi using a web browser (not the "app")? After three rejected logins, Orbi will bring up a Password Recovery page which needs the router serial number (from the product label) and answers to two security questions.
Re: Unable to login to orbi app credentials not accepted
Sorry, it's not working that way in the app. After 4 or 5 failed login attempts I get a message that I must wait 30 seconds before trying again. After that it just repeats. 4 or 5 failures and a warning to wait 30 seconds before trying again. Never a method to change or recover the password. I can login successfully through the web at orbilogin.net.

Knownot0,
I have the same stupid problem. Did you get it resolved? I was having problems with the app showing satellite connections so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Now I have the same issue you stated, User Name is already filled in as admin and the password that is accepted by my tablet and my computer is refused by the app. It's so frustrating. The app is now useless.
