Hi,
I have had an OBi200 up and running with an OBiBT for a few months now and I'm loving it so much more than my old Dock-N-Talk. For Christmas, I received the OBiWiFi dongle and just today, removed it from the package and tried setting it up - but cannot get past the admin page login...
Before starting, I had the OBi200's ethernet port connected to an old airport extreme (802.11g) that was joining a network created by a newer airport extreme/time capsule. I don't know if that's relevant, but it was working. I tried a number of things which I will go into below, but in every case, when I got prompted for the username/password for the OBiWiFi setup page, I would enter admin for the username and admin for the password, and it would always tell me my username/password was incorrect. See the following screen-cap:
For my first attempt, I started by unplugging the OBiBT from the only USB port and connected both dongles to an unpowered USB hub. I confirmed that the OBiBT was working by connecting my iPhone to it and then placing a call on a handset using **8. However, I was unable to see the OBiWiFi_steup network from my computer, so...
For my second attempt, I disconnected the USB hub and connected the WiFi dongle directly to the OBi200's sole USB port. This time, I saw a blue light appear on the dongle which I did not see before. I went to my computer and connected to the OBiWiFi_setup network and went to 192.168.10.1. When I was prompted for a login, I entered the default "admin" username/password as seen in the image above. The login sheet kept saying that my username/password were incorrect, so...
I figured maybe the ethernet cable was interfering with the WiFi dongle, so I disconnected it, rebooted the OBiBT by removing & plugging back in the power cord. I turned the wifi on my computer off & on and reconnected to the setup network. Same login authentication error, so...
I just started trying dumb things like username/password variants & combinations, like "admin/admin", no password, "admin@OBi200", etc.. I tried Chrome. I tried connecting to
obiconnect.com/wifi and tried all the login variants there...
Nothing works.
Did I receive a refurbished dongle with a non-default login setup? Did my OBi200 somehow auto-configure for the ethernet port and needs to be reset somehow? Did the USB hub attempt screw something up?
The only thing I haven't tried that I can think of, is I haven't tried restarting my computer... Anyone have any ideas how I can get past the login sheet?
