Reset Orbi Router Wi-Fi system to factory settings will clear all your customized settings, such as password, network name (SSID, and recovery options). This method will cancel the synchronization of the satellites and routers to each other, and you will need to connect and configure them after a reset.
The Orbi Wi-Fi system is a high-performance wireless system that brings the Internet to your entire home. It helps eliminate dead zones in your home and provides fast browsing speed. This article discusses how to quickly reset the orbi to its factory default settings.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to resetting your Orbi Wi-Fi system to factory settings:
First Method – Netgear Recommended
Turn on the Orbi router.
Find the “RESET” button on the Orbi. This is a hole in the hole located on the back of the router, near the bottom of the device. The button appears on the right side of the controls, where all the ports on the device are located.
Take a straight paper clip, toothpick or thumbtack and press and hold the reset button for 7 seconds or more. When the “POWER” LED (which is initially green) starts flashing amber, press and holds the button long enough. At this point, the reset will be completed and the device will be restored to factory settings. Note that restarting and restarting the device may take several minutes.
Method 2
The default factory reset method will not work, in some cases.
If the reset procedure described above fails, continue with the following steps. This method is called resetting “30-30-30” – and it will soon be clear where the name comes from.
Turn on the Orbi router. With the power on, hold the reset for 30 seconds (using a paper clip or toothpick as described above). Do not release the reset button when done. Then turn off the power and hold the reset button for 30 seconds. Do not release the reset button again.
Finally, turn on the power to the device and hold down the reset orbi router button for another 30 seconds.
At this point, the device must be returned to the factory.
If that doesn’t help, please read the instructions above again and try again. Make sure that you do not release the reset button at any point in the process. Generally, you should hold down the reset orbi router button (with a paper clip) for 90 seconds as you go through the steps.
Method 3
If both of the above methods don’t work, there’s a last way to try. If that doesn’t work, you officially know it’s time to stop and call technical support.
Disconnect all cables except the power cable from the Orbi.
Turn on the Orbi router.
Hold down the reset button for more than 7 seconds as described in Method 1. Do not release the reset button yet. Then turn off the Orbi and hold the reset button for 7+ seconds. Do not release the power button again.
Watch the Orbi again and hold the reset button for 7+ seconds.
Finally, you can release the reset button at this point.
Conclusion
As explained above, factory resetting your Orbi Wi-Fi system is easy. However, this will erase all personal settings such as passwords and network names, but you can set them up later, so don’t worry. If you have more query then visit orbilogin.com
