How To Fix Orbi Password Issue?

We live in a tech driven world. Thus to protect all our digital assets we use passwords. Remembering each password is no less than a task. So if by any chance you aren’t able to recall your Orbi router’s password then we understand it can be extremely frustrating. Because without the password you cannot manage the network, cannot alter the default settings, cannot access the internet nor can you scan for pending updates. But let us tell you one thing, the Orbi password issue is quite common and thus can be solved easily. This blog post will walk you through the step-by-step troubleshooting guidance, so without further ado let’s get to the point. 

Understand The Two Types Of Issues 

The Orbi Password issue can be of two types. It is important to know which one you are facing. First is the admin login issue. This happens when you aren’t able to access the main control panel or interface of the router. The interface is accessed either through the Orbi app or by loading orbilogin.com in the web browser’s URL blank. If you forget this password then it means you are locked out of configuration. 

Up next the second one is wifi network password issue. This issue prevents your devices from connecting to your wireless network. When you fill in the password, but the device says it is incorrect. 

Fixes For Forgotten Admin Password 

For resolving Orbi Password issue you can follow these simple steps:

• During the initial setup, you are asked to answer a few security questions. So now it’s time to use them for password recovery. For this launch internet browser. In the URL bar type orbilogin.net and hit enter. Now tap on Forgot password. The interface will now ask you to give answers to the security questions. Give the answers and now you’ll get a chance to assign a new login password. 
• Sometimes there is a typing mistake. So rectify the same. Make sure you are using the right letter case. Additionally, the problem could also be from the end of the web browser. Your browser might be caching an old login page. So clearing the cache and cookies can often fix the Orbi password issue. 

Fixes For Wifi Network Password Issue

If your device cannot connect to the Wi-Fi then the troubleshooting steps are different. First up ensure there are no typing mistakes in the password. Up next, login into your Orbi app. Head to the wifi settings and there you’ll find the exact wireless password of your Orbi network there. 

Up next for clearing the Orbi password issue you can also try this: On the affected device, “forget” the Orbi Wi-Fi network. Then manually type the password again. This prevents the device from using a potentially outdated saved password.

Final Fix: Factory Reset

This is the ultimate way to solve the Orbi password issue but remember it will erase all your custom settings. The steps to reset the Orbi are as follows:

• Power on the Orbi. 
• Take a paperclip or any object similar to it like a sturdy toothpick. 
• Locate the reset port. 
• Insert the chosen object into it and push the reset key. Keep hold onto it for 6 to 7 minutes. 
• Finally, the status light will blink or fade away. Now you can take out the pin. At last just wait for the router to reboot and then reconfigure the device.
