ORBI down & Android App won't connect

After 7 months of solid performance, my Orbi router just stopped working. No longer accepting wireless connections. Tried connecting via my Android S8 and the Orbi app, but it won't connect even though I'm connected to the Orbi wireless network- keeps saying TRY AGAIN. So I reset the Orbi router to its orginal SSID and pw, but still won't connect after connecting to the Orbi51 default wireless. Uninstalled and reinstalled the Orbi app, connected to Orbi51 Wireless, tried again (per instructions to TRY AGAIN). Nothing. Tried Remote Management, but unfortunately this apparently was never set up. I don't know of anyway else in.

Re: ORBI down & Android App won't connect
Honestly, I had not. Did about 2 minutes of research on the necessary URL and successfully logged in. Was able to reconfigure the router from scratch and viola!, it's working again. Also updated the firmware while I was at it. Thanks for the (what should have been obvious) answer!
