  • On your laptop or PC, launch a web browser and go to its address bar.
  • Enter the default web address of the Netgear Orbi router i.e. www.orbilogin.net. If this web address is not working try logging into your router using the default IP192.168.1.1.
  • A dialog box will popup on the screen of your device asking for Orbi’s default username and password.

To reset the Orbi device, press the ‘Reset’ button with the help of a pointed object like a pin. Release the button after about 10 seconds and wait for the router to reboot.
