How to Change Your Orbi WiFi Name and Password After Login

Introduction

The procedure is simple, whether your goals are to improve your network security or just change your credentials for simpler access. Changing the WiFi name and password for your Orbi will thus help to assure that your connection is secure, personalized and kept free from illegal usage.
Maintaining control over your home network is not only suggested but also essential in the world of today. Although, changing your Orbi WiFi name and password is a tiny but vital step in safeguarding your home network from unwelcomed access, not just about personalizing your network name.

In this post, we’ll walk you through how to change both the WiFi name and password on your Orbi system after you log in. Let’s dive in!

Why Changing Your Orbi WiFi Credentials are Necessary?

Before we dive into the how, let’s talk about the why.

The default network name (SSID) and password that comes with your Orbi setup are publicly known. It’s not just you who got that little sticker on the back of the router—millions of others did too. That means if someone knows you're using an Orbi and you haven’t changed your credentials, it’s quite predictable for them.

Even worse case scenario: If you live in an apartment or anywhere with close neighbors, someone might already be leeching off your connection. It happens often.

Changing the Orbi WiFi password  and name helps:

• Prevent unauthorized access to your network

• Strengthen your digital security

• Make your network easily identifiable to guests (and yourself)

Step-by-Step: Accessing the Orbi Admin Login Page

To make any changes to your WiFi settings, you first need to access the admin dashboard. This is the panel that provides you all the access of your internet device:

Here’s how to do it:

1. Connect to Your Orbi Network
   Connect your device to the Orbi’s network—either over WiFi or via ethernet. (No other connection would allow you the access).

2. Go to the Orbi Login Page
   Open any browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and type either:orbilogin.com or orbilogin.net in the address bar.
   You can also use the IP address directly: 192.168.1.1 (sometimes it’s 10.0.0.1, depending on your setup).

3. Enter Your Credentials
   Once you reach the page, fill in your credentials. The default username and password is usually admin. (For more accurate results, you can check the device’s label)

Important: If you’ve forgotten your Orbi admin login password, you’ll have to reset your router to factory settings and start over.

How to Change the Orbi WiFi Name and Password

Alright, once you're in, here’s how to update your network’s SSID and password.

1. Navigate to the Basic Home Page
   After logging in, you’ll reach the dashboard.
   Tap on Wireless from the menu.

2. Update the Network Name (SSID)
   You’ll see a field labeled something like WiFi Name (SSID)
   Change the SSID to whatever you want. Just keep it simple and recognizable.

3. Update the Password
   Find the field for WiFi Password
   Enter a strong password—at least 12 characters. Mix up the uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and a symbol or two.

4. Save Your Changes
   Click Save button at the bottom.
   Your Orbi system will apply the settings and reboot the network briefly.

And you’re done. Next time you or anyone else connects to the WiFi, you’ll need to enter the new credentials.

Tips for Strong WiFi Passwords

People often ask me, “What’s a good WiFi password?” Well, here’s a quick guideline:

• Don’t use birthdays, pet names, or anything guessable

• Avoid common passwords like 12345678 or password123

• Use a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters

• Try something like: Coffee#Bean2025! or Sunrise_42Net

You don’t have to memorize it either—just store it in a secure password manager.

What If Orbilogin.net Doesn’t Work?

It happens. Sometimes the Orbi login page doesn’t load properly, and you’re left staring at an error screen. If orbilogin.com or orbilogin.net doesn’t respond:

• Try accessing via IP: 192.168.1.1

• Clear your browser cache

• Restart your router and try again

• Disable any VPNs or browser extensions that might interfere

And yes, sometimes it’s just a flaky browser glitch. Try reloading the page.

Final Thoughts

Changing your Orbi WiFi password and name is something that every homeowner should do. It takes five minutes or maybe ten. But the peace of mind it’ll give you would be worth every second.

We’ve helped folks who had no idea their neighbors were freeloading off their connection. We’ve seen people chase bizarre signal problems that were actually caused by someone else’s devices that took over their bandwidth. So, now, you know what to do, if anything like that happens! A simple login, a quick tweak to your settings, and you’re back in control.
