Using the Orbi web interface, navigate to "Wireless" and check the box for the security  scheme wanted.

Is this what you need?

Re: How do I configure my WAP2 OR WPA3 security type?

Hello

 

I tried to navigate to "my wifi dot net"  which is in the instruction

It seems to be down.

 

This is in the instructions, so if this is where I need to go to find the “Orbi web interface”

 

Might need some more help.

 

Maybe I should just ask where or how do I find the Orbi web interface?

Sorry.  We tend to forget that most people do not do this all day, every day.

 

The Orbi web interface is usually at http://orbilogin.net.  If that doesn't work, then look for the "gateway" IP address that has been assigned to your device, often 192.168.1.1

When the Orbi came "out of the box", the login credentials were "admin" and "password".  It is not possible to change "admin" (nobody knows why), and the user is URGED (almost forced) to change the password to something more unique.

WPA3 isn't currently supported on ORBI AC models.
