If your Netgear Orbi system is giving you trouble and you’ve been told to reset it or access the orbilogin page, it probably means one of two things: something’s not working, or you’re trying to make some changes and just can’t get in.
Either way, I’ve walked plenty of people through this exact thing, and I’m going to help you do it right now. No tech jargon. No guessing. Just a straight-up walkthrough that actually works.
First: Know what you’re trying to do
There are two things we’re talking about here:
Resetting the Orbi system – this means wiping it back to factory settings, like brand new out of the box.
Accessing the orbi admin login page – this is how you log into the router’s settings (either through orbilogin.com, orbilogin.net, or a local IP address).
Whether you’re trying to troubleshoot or just change Wi-Fi settings, you’ll need to know both.
Let’s start with the reset.
Step 1: How to Reset Your Netgear Orbi
Sometimes you just have to reset. Maybe it’s stuck in a loop. Maybe the firmware update failed. Maybe you forgot your login password.
What you’ll need:
A paperclip, pin, or something small to press the reset button.
Steps:
- Make sure your Orbi is plugged in and powered on.
- Find the reset button on the back of the main Orbi router (RBR unit).
- Take a paperclip to press and hold the reset button for 10–15 seconds.
- Let go when the power LED starts blinking amber or white.
That’s it. Orbi will now restart and go back to its factory default settings.
Keep in mind: you’ll need to set it up from scratch again, just like you did the first time out of the box.
Step 2: Connect to the Orbi Network
After a reset, your Orbi will broadcast a default Wi-Fi network again. The name will look something like:
NETGEARXX or OrbiXX
The default network name (SSID) and password are printed on the label under the Orbi router.
Go to your computer, phone, or tablet and connect to that network. Don’t worry if it says “no internet” we’re just trying to reach the orbilogin page for now.
Step 3: Open the Orbilogin Page
Now that you’re connected to the Orbi network, open a web browser.
- In the web browser’s address bar, type: Orbilogin.com or orbilogin.net
- If that doesn’t work, try: 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1
One of these should load the Orbi login screen. If none work, double-check that you’re still connected to the Orbi’s Wi-Fi.
Step 4: Log In to Orbi Settings
Enter the Orbi default admin login username and password.
Default login: Username: admin Password: password
If you already changed it before and don’t remember—yep, you’ll need to reset again using the steps above.
Once logged in, you’re inside the Orbi dashboard. From here you can change –
- Wi-Fi name and password
- Set up parental controls
- Check for firmware updates
- Reboot or restart devices
- Add satellites or configure mesh settings
Step 5: Set Up the Orbi Again (After Reset)
You can setup through the web page, or use the Orbi app on your phone. Both work. The app tends to be easier for most folks.
Just follow the instructions. It’ll guide you through setting your Wi-Fi name, password, admin login, and syncing satellites.
Give it time to finish syncing everything. Once it’s up and running, the LED lights should settle into a stable white or blue, depending on your model.
If You Still Can’t Access orbilogin
Here are a few quick checks:
- Make sure the mobile data is off, if you are using a phone (it might block local access)
- Try a different browser (some browser settings mess with local pages)
- Plug Ethernet cable directly into the Orbi router
- Clear your DNS or browser cache
- Restart your device
You might have a firmware problem. In that case, download the firmware manually from Netgear’s support site and flash it using the web interface once you can get back in.
Final Thoughts
Accessing the orbilogin page and resetting your Orbi isn’t hard—once you know the exact steps. The key is to stay calm, follow the order: reset if needed, connect to the Orbi Wi-Fi, then load the login page. And look, I get it this stuff always feels more complicated than it should be. But once your Orbi is back up and running, it usually just stays solid. That’s what these systems are built for.
