Change Orbi Login User Name to Something other than 'admin'

[GregBl]

Hello,

I have an Netgear Orbi Mini AC2200 RBK22.

Is there a way to change login user name to something other than 'admin'?

Thanks!

No, you can't change the login name. Only the password

A friendly WARNING!!!

If you're fearless and proceeding to change username "admin" to something other than "admin" via telnet, make sure there's a paper clip nearby.  The username "admin" is hard-coded in the firmware.

Thanks for the replies.  After doing some additional research I've decided to leave it as is.  The Telnet is not something I have experience in so I won't be going that route.  This is the  1st router I've had that I was not able to change it - so, was surprised.  Seems like it's not a big deal though - as long as I change the PW.  🙂  Thanks again for your help!
