Moving to a Archer VR600 Router Assistance

bighardyfamily — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 12:36:25 GMT

I am about to install a new router to replace the old rubbish smart hub, the Archer allows me to stick it into Bridge mode and then run my Orbi Mesh system into it.

My question is, i have my username from the Smarthub admin page, but i can see the password even thought it says reveal, its just turns the stars in hidden for your own security. How do i get my password for the connection so i can put it into new modem ? please dont tell me i have to ring EE ? (just checked on router and my username looks like this xxxxxx.orangehome.co.uk@fs)

You choose your BB (& email) pwd when you joined Orange/EE. If you can't remember it & have no Welcome email or KeepMe card containing it, you will need to ask it of CS.

Which model Archer VR600 is it? AC????

but

I have fount an article on the TP forum on how to change an AC1600 to Bridge mode, but my router does not have the same options. At least I have not found it yet!
