I have an Orbi Mesh system RBR750 with two satellites. In the orbi app the are red in the device manager. There RBR750's firmware is current but the two satellites have dashes where the firmware ver...
There we go. Yay.
I'd disable the Auto Update feature to be sure the RBR doesn't get updated from NG. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Glad you got it working. 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.

Enjoy. 📡
OMG….THIS NIGHTMARE IS OVER… I HOPE. I reset everything, installed the old modem. and updated the router with the v4FW and it now sees everything.
Since I reset everything and downgraded the router, the router now doesn’t have the solid LED light that it did before and I can’t log into Orbi login so when I reset everything, it must’ve obliterated everything that I had in they are like the double secret question and answer. so what do I do now?
How did you set up the system after you factory reset it? Orbi app or RBR WEB UI?
Log into the RBR using a web browser.
You have to save off any updates using the WEB UI on the RBR. Can't be done from the Orbi app.
Front LED when OFF is operation normally:

- I set it up through the Orbi app. I can’t log into the RBR. Webb UI
Input same credentials as Orbi app? admin and password?
If i factory reset the router is everything wiped as well? I had to change the name of the router from Orbi95 to something else.
Changing the WiFi settings (SSID/password) affects only those settings. It affects nothing else.
A Factory Reset erases every setting the use has made.
Have you been using the default SSID name or have you changed to Orbi95? Usually Orbi## is a default SSID name. Users are recommended to change this SSID name to something else during or after you get the system set up and your on the Home screen of the RBRs web page. SSID name can be anything, make it something intuitive and fun.

Thank you. I changed it right away. The reason I couldn’t log into rbr is because it is still using the default admin password that i cannot change but was able to login that way and switch off autoupdate. Maybe it doesn’t like anything being done on an ipad. I will go over to the imac and try to change this.
Ya, best to use a desktop PC and the web UI.
Once all is changed, setup and configured, Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

anyway, i cannot update the password/login stuff in the orbi app.Something you can submit a bug report about:
Otherwise, use a PC and web browser.
