Orbi not found, admin site not reachable

Network working fine, but it was refusing connections to web-based admin AND would not connect via app either.  Tried rebooting, no dice.

 

I had to do a factory reset.  Very annoying.

 

Anyone experienced this?

 

I have RBK852 - router + satellite.

Factory reset the router and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser. 

 

FYI about Orbi app and Apple devices:

Re: Orbi not found, admin site not reachable

Orbi app seems to be having problems on iOS devices recently. Some of the linked suggestions may help. 

I haven't had any problems with the web browser accessing the RBRs web page. Others have resolved this by doing a factory reset and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser...

Re: Orbi not found, admin site not reachable

I'm having the very same issue (RBK853) right this minute.  All clients are connected to the Wi-Fi and it's working but I can't get to the GUI via 192.168.1.1 or orbilogin.net or via the app.  I can get to the satellites via GUI.  Even rebooted everything, no dice.  And when I cleared my storage/cache on my Android app, now it won't even let me do setup of my existing network even though I'm connected.

 

Something broke in the current firmware?  I don't want to do a factory reset, yet.

Netgear needs to stop pushing this update. All over Reddit there are people who are just now today experiencing this- it’s madness.

I checked Reddit and the Netgear and it looks like they automatically pushed a new firmware update out a few days ago that apparently broke it!

I poked around a bit.

monit status showed that d2d wasn't starting up, and a number of other services depend on it.

Manually starting it with

/tmp/etc/monit.rc/d2d.init start

allowed the other services to start and the web interface to come back.


Was not aware that the 750 router has a command line interface?

I just tried to enable telnet on my RBR850. It didn't work.

Re: Orbi not found, admin site not reachable

Well this is maddening. Likewise the enable of "you-know-what" is not working for me either. I compiled code on a Linux box and when I "did" it the "you-know-what" command still failed even though the op reported success. (Being cryptic to avoid a disappearing post.)

Guess I am resigned to factory-default/upload-saved-config.

Netgear - brace yourself for a follow-up flame-on post. I installed my RBK753S mesh back in Nov 2021. It has worked flawlessly since then. I was actually preparing to post a "super happy customer" letter to this forum in appreciation. That is not exactly what my next post will be.
