What actually differs
Both are app-first mesh systems with no default password, but the login shape differs. Velop is password-only — there's no username field at myrouter.local (192.168.1.1) at any point, per Linksys's official support article; recovery instead uses a Recovery Key printed on the device label.
Orbi RBK752 keeps a fixed "admin" username tied to whatever password you set at orbilogin.com (192.168.1.1), per Netgear's KB 31014. Coincidentally, both land on the same default gateway IP (192.168.1.1) despite having no shared login structure otherwise.
Hold the Reset button on the bottom of the node ~10 seconds until the light turns red, then release to restore factory defaults.
This WiFi 6 Orbi is normally set up via the Orbi app, which makes you create an admin password, so there's no reliable default. To reset the router (RBR750), power it on and hold the Reset button on the bottom for about 7-10 seconds until the ring LED blinks amber, then re-run setup in the Orbi app or at http://orbilogin.com to set a new admin password.
