Netgear Orbi App
The Orbi App does not like my password. When prompted to log into my router, it pre-fills the username with "admin" and has a password field. When I insert the password, it notes that it was unsuccessful. Do it a couple more times, then it tells me to wait before I try again. I go to my laptop and go to routerlogin.net then type the username and password, then it works. No issues. I thought it was because I ended my password with the open parenthesis key "(" . I change the passcode to not end with that special character and it still had the issues. I change my passcode and used the following special characters and it worked through the app: ! @ # $ % ^ & * So, the issue is that the app does not like " ( " I propose that we right any special characters that work or do not in the reply to this message. I find it frustrating the solution to this problem supposedly was to unselect the "Remember me" button, which is incorrect. tldr; Do not use the following special character in quotes "(" within your password You can use !@#$%^&* This is not exaustive list of special characters. List your replies with working and non-working special characters so that everyone else doesn't have the same problem with the Android Orbi App and password.
