Fix 2: Enable the Orbi’s SSID
So, have you enabled the Orbi’s SSID? If not, then how can you get connected to it? So, do the needful by enabling your Orbi’s SSID. And, if you have changed the SSID of your Netgear Orbi, ensure that you are connecting to the correct one. This fix can help your iPhone to connect to Orbi’s WiFi.
Fix 3: Check the Password
OMG! How can we forget this? Check the password! Are you sure that you are entering the correct password for connecting to the Orbi’s WiFi? It seems not! So, use the correct password to connect to Orbi’s SSID (WiFi network).
What else you can do! Ask your family members regarding the same! Maybe anyone of them has changed the password without notifying you. It happens in most cases. Is everything fine? Means, if no one has changed the password and you are entering it correctly as well, then Orbi factory reset process can save you from this hassle.
Once your Orbi gets reset, the SSID and its password will set back to default. So, using them, you can connect your iPhone to Orbi AX4200’s WiFi. But, don’t forget to reconfigure your Orbi first.
Don’t panic! Orbi can be configured successfully by simply pressing the WPS button on it and the satellite.
