2 TopicsAdding a password to the VPN service?
I just got the VPN service running on my Orbi. It works great, and after a couple hour of playing with the settings, I can now route all internet traffic through the Orbi, which is great when I'm at a cafe somewhere. What makes me extremely worried, though, is that there is no password authentication, which means anybody with the certificate will immediately have access to my internal network (I almost e-mailed the certificate to my wife so she could get it working on her laptop too, before I realized that's more or less the same as sending her my login password in the clear--not a good idea). Is there actually a way to set up the Orbi VPN server to require a password? If not, when will Netgear implement one?Orbi RBR40 - New Password Issue
I have a curious issue that I am not sure of the explaination or resolution. I recently got the RBR40 with satelite and I renamed the router name and changed the password. When I tried to logon to the new WIFI name, all devices see the new name but about half the devices do NOT accept the new password but DO accept the old password. I rebooted the devices and still the same result. My iphone took the new password, on my wife's iphone I had to use the new name and old password to connect. Both Firesticks required the old password. When I log into the Router via web or use the Orbi app both of these show the new SSID and new password. Any comments on how/why this is happening?Solved
