This article will explain how to retrieve your Orbi login credentials if you’ve forgotten them. With persistence and some effort, you can recover both your username and password or both.
Understanding Your Orbi Login
Your Orbi system uses two different login credentials.
WiFi Login This is your device’s name (SSID), and the password that you use to connect to the Internet.
Router Admin Login This allows you to access the Orbi router settings via the Orbi App or a web-browser.
This guide focuses on the admin login which allows you to manage your network settings.
Step 1: Login using the default login
If you don’t have updated Orbi login credentials, use the default credentials. Username: administrator. Password: password. These are the most commonly encountered factory settings. You can try them out by following these steps:
- Setting up your Orbi WiFi.
- Enter orbilogin.com in the address bar of your browser.
- Please enter the standard username and password.
It’s great if it works as intended! Now you can update your password with a secure, memorable one. If not, continue with the next steps.
Step 2: Use Orbi app
Orbi App is the best way to recover your Orbi login if you forgot it. Here are the steps you need to follow in order to access the Orbi App:
- Orbi App is available on Google Play or App Store.
- Make sure your phone is connected with your Orbi WiFi.
- Log in to the app using your Netgear Account.
- Go to Settings and update or reset your admin login information.
If you forget the local admin login password, the app will store your credentials or allow access through your Netgear account.
Step 3: Reset your Orbi Router
You may need to reset your Orbi login if you have tried both the default credentials as well as the app and are still unable to access it.
