Legit? Orbi User Manual Links to Flash Update Page?

Hi everyone,

 

I got a used Orbi RBK30 on eBay. Everything works great, much better than my old system.  However, when I clicked the "orbilogin.com" link from the the user manual, which I downloaded from Netgear http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBK50/Orbi_UM_EN.pdf, the link redirected me to an Adobe Flash Update page. Is this legit?

 

Thaks for your input.

you can just type it into your browser. Or you can setup via the app.

Thanks for your fast replay and recommendation. I did manage to set up properly (should have made it clearer). I am just trying to find out if the link redirect from the official Orbi user manual is legit. I actually updated my flash plugin by going directly to Adobe, but the Orbi link still asked me to update, which I find a little suspect.

Not sure what link you meant as you linked to the manual. There's many links in there. not just 1.

The link from my post is to the user manual from Netgear. (http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBK50/Orbi_UM_EN.pdf)

 

On page 13 of teh user manual, it says..."Enter orbilogin.com. A login window opens."

 

When I clicked "orbilogin.com" there, it redirected me to a flash update page. 

 

Strangely, if I clicked the orbilogin.com link on Page 21 of the manual, it was fine.

 

"If you already set up the Internet connection, enter orbilogin.com in the address field for your browser to start the installation process."

 

I was redirected to a proper login page

 

Can anyone replicate this?
