  • Ensure that you are using a web browser on a device connected to the Orbi network. Also, the internet connection should be all well. If possible, try to use the Ethernet connection. But, be very sure that you are not using a damaged cable.
  • The web browser in use is supposed to flaunt the latest software version no matter whether you are using Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge. The web browser can be updated via the settings section. If you bookmark the page, be very sure that you clear the cache and cookies of the web browser.
  • Do not enter the IP address of the Orbi router into the search bar of your web browser. No IP is accessible via the search bar. You must use the address bar only. Also, the IP should be correct and there should be no typos in the rest of the URL.
  • Restart the Orbi mesh network if you face problems viewing the daily usage. To restart the network, you need to disconnect it from the power outlet and keep it in the idle state for a few minutes. Reconnect to power and check the daily usage once again.
