Set Up a Default DMZ Server
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and
videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation
(NAT). The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work
correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one local
computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is entered as
the default DMZ server.
WARNING:
DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the
default DMZ server loses much of the protection of the firewall and
is exposed to exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the DMZ
server computer can be used to attack other computers on your
network.
The router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a
response to one of your local computers or a service that you configured in the Port
Forwarding/Port Triggering page. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can specify that the
router forwards the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called the
default DMZ server.
To set up a default DMZ server:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi
network.
2.
Enter
orbilogin.com
.
A login window opens.
3.

The router’s device name is its model number. This device name displays in a file manager
when you browse your network.

network.

Change the LAN TCP/IP Settings
The router is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act as a
DHCP server. The router’s default LAN IP configuration is as follows:
•
LAN IP address
•
Subnet mask
. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks
and are suitable for most applications. If your network requires a different IP addressing
scheme, you can change these settings.
You might want to change these settings if you need a specific IP subnet that one or more
devices on the network uses, or if you use competing subnets with the same IP scheme.
To change the LAN TCP/IP settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi
network.
2.
Enter
orbilogin.com
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4.
Select
ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup
.
5.
In the
IP Address
field, type the IP address.
6.
In the
IP Subnet Mask
, type the subnet mask of the router.
The IP address and subnet mask identifies which addresses are local to a specific device
and which must be reached through a gateway or router.

Change the RIP settings.
Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing information with
other routers.
a.
Select the RIP direction:
-
Both
. The router broadcasts its routing table periodically and incorporates
information that it receives.
-
Out Only
. The router broadcasts its routing table periodically.
-
In Only
. The router incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
b.
Select the RIP version:
-
Disabled
. This is the default setting.
-
RIP-1
. This format is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks,
unless you are using an unusual network setup.
-
RIP-2
. This format carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the
routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses
multicasting.
8.
Click the
Apply
button.
Your settings are saved.
If you changed the LAN IP address of the router, you are disconnected when this change
takes effect.
9.
To reconnect, close your browser, relaunch it, and log in to the router.
Specify the IP Addresses That the Router Assigns
By default, the router acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The
router assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to
the LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP
address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a range between 192.168.1.2 and
192.168.1.254, although you can save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
To specify the pool of IP addresses that the router assigns:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi
network.
2.
Enter
orbilogin.com
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
