RBR850 - disappeared from Orbi app and Web interface gone
Until a couple of days ago my Orbi RBR850 was available in the Orbi iOS app, and I could login to the admin interface via www.orbilogin.com or 192.168.1.1. Now for some reason it has disappeared ...

Factory reset made my situation (RBR850) much worse -- it was at least working before reset. After a call to support, I was told to do the following, which worked. The first part was done with power on - never unplugged just disconnect all but hard-wired computer and press reset for 1 min.
1. disconnect the modem from the router
2. connect your computer wired to the router (only the computer connected)
3. press the reset for 1min
4. wait until the light turns solid white
(if the GUI is still not accessible, proceed with shocked reset)
1. press and hold the reset for 30secs
2. while holding the reset, unplug the power adapter and wait for another 30secs
3. after 30secs, plug the power adapter but still holding the reset and wait for the last 30secs
4. wait until the light turns solid white
(if the GUI is still not accessible, proceed to ping the router)
If still no gui after the second approach, they recommend manual (TFTP) downgrade of firmware. I didn't need to do that.

P.S. I was quite skeptical having tried multiple hard resets between 15-30 seconds... but one minute seems to be different for some reason...

1 Minute in regards too?

1 minute w/r/t reset button (holding it 1 minute, powered on, vs. 15 or 30 seconds.)

Interesting.
So a 15-20 second press and release didn't work for you at all?
