Orbi
WiFi System
Connect to the Network
You can connect to the Orbi network through a wired or WiFi connection. If you set up your
computer to use a static IP address, change the settings so that it uses Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Wired Connection
You can connect your computer to the router using an Ethernet cable and join the router’s
local area network (LAN).
To connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable:
1.
Make sure that the router is receiving power (its Power LED is lit).
2.
Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on your computer.
3.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the router’s Ethernet ports.
Your computer connects to the local area network (LAN). A message might display on
your computer screen to notify you that an Ethernet cable is connected.
WiFi Connection
To find and select the WiFi network:
1.
Make sure that the router or satellite is receiving power (its Power LED is lit).
2.
On your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device, find and select the WiFi network.
The WiFi network name is on the router label. The WiFi network name is the same for the
router and the satellite in the Orbi WiFi System.
Note:
If you bought the router and the satellite separately, their default WiFi
network names are different.
3.
Join the WiFi network and enter the WiFi password.
The password is on the router label.
Your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device connects to the WiFi network.
WiFi Connection Using WPS
You can connect to the router’s WiFi network with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or you can
find and select the WiFi network.
To use WPS to connect to the WiFi network:
1.
Make sure that the router is receiving power (its Power LED is lit).
2.
Check the WPS instructions for your computer or WiFi device.
3.
Press the

Types of Logins
Separate types of logins serve different purposes. It is important that you understand the
difference so that you know which login to use when.
Types of logins:

•
Internet service login
. The login that your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you logs
you in to your Internet service. Your service provider gave you this login information in a
letter or some other way. If you cannot find this login information, contact your service
provider.
•
WiFi network key or password
. Your router and satellite are preset with the same WiFi
network name (SSID) and password for WiFi access. This information is on the router
label and the satellite label.
•
Router login
. This logs you in to the router interface from a web browser as admin.
Use a Web Browser to Access the Router
When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable), you can use a
web browser to access the router to view or change its settings. The first time you access the
router, the NETGEAR installation assistant automatically checks to see if your router can
connect to your Internet service.
Automatic Internet Setup
You can set up your router automatically, or you can use a web browser to access the router
and set up your router manually. Before you start the setup process, get your ISP information
and make sure that the computers and devices in the network use the settings described
here.
When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all
the information needed to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need the
following information to set up your router:
•
The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
•
ISP login name and password
•
Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this setting is rare)
If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet
connection is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your computer
to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router automatically logs
you in.
Installation and basic setup takes about 15
minutes to complete.
To automatically set up your router:
1.
Turn the router on by pressing the
On/Off
button.
2.
Make sure that your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is connected to the router with
an Ethernet cable (wired) or wirelessly with the preset security settings listed on the label.
Note:
If you want to change the router’s WiFi settings, use a wired connection
to avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect.
3.
Launch a web browser.
