Manage the Mobile Broadband Connection

Usually, the quickest way to set up the router to use your mobile broadband Internet connection is to allow Orbi to detect the mobile broadband Internet connection when you first access the router with a web browser. You can also customize or manually specify your mobile broadband Internet connection settings.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Internet connection over mobile broadband

• Orbi features that do not apply to a mobile broadband connection

• Use the Setup Wizard to detect the mobile broadband Internet connection

• Set up automatic failover

• Change the Internet connection mode to wired Internet only or mobile broadband only

• Change the LTE provider’s access point name

• Change the mobile broadband network mode

• Enter the PIN or PUK

• Change the roaming setting

4G LTE WiFi Orbi Router Model LBR20

Internet connection over mobile broadband

By default, when the router powers up with a nano SIM card installed, and if you did not configure mobile broadband as a backup connection only, the router automatically searches for and connects to your LTE provider’s mobile broadband network. This process might take several minutes. For more information, see Connect your router to a mobile broadband network on page 10. The nano SIM card that is installed determines the mobile broadband network to which the router connects.

Note: Even though the router might connect to the mobile broadband network of the same LTE provider each time that you start the router, the type of mobile broadband service (LTE, 4G, or 3G) to which the router connects might differ.

If the router does not automatically connect to the mobile broadband network, the Ring LED lights solid magenta, and you might need to contact your LTE provider to get the Access Point Name (APN) to which the router must connect (see Change the LTE provider’s access point name on page 23).

If you do not want the router to connect automatically to the mobile broadband network, change the default autoconnect option (see Change the Internet connection mode to wired Internet only or mobile broadband only on page 22).

Orbi features that do not apply to a mobile broadband connection

When the router Is using a wired Internet connection, all Orbi features work. Because of mobile broadband limitations, when the router is using a mobile broadband Internet connection, the following Orbi features do not work:

Dynamic DNS

•

Port forwarding

•

VLAN bridge

•

AP mode (that is, the router functions an access point only with its default router

• mode disabled)

The first three features on the list work only if the router’s IP address is a public IP address. However, with a mobile broadband connection, your LTE provider assigns the router a private IP address. The AP mode feature does not work with a mobile broadband connection because the router cannot receive an IP address if its router features are disabled.

Set up an IPv6 6rd tunnel Internet connection

The 6rd protocol makes it possible to deploy IPv6 to sites using a service provider’s IPv4 network. 6rd uses the service provider’s own IPv6 address prefix. This limits the operational domain of 6rd to the service provider’s network and is under direct control of the service provider. The IPv6 service provided is equivalent to native IPv6. The 6rd

User Manual39Specify the Wired Internet

Settings

mechanism relies on an algorithmic mapping between the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses that are assigned for use within the service provider’s network. This mapping allows for automatic determination of IPv4 tunnel endpoints from IPv6 prefixes, allowing stateless operation of 6rd.

Auto Detect Mode. In IPv6 Auto Detect mode, when the router receives option 212

• from the DHCPv4 option, auto detect selects the IPv6 as 6rd Tunnel setting. The

Change the MTU size

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits. When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets travel through many devices along the way. If a device in the data path uses a lower MTU setting than the other devices, the data packets must be split or “fragmented” to accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.

The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often the default value. In some situations, changing the value fixes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:

You experience problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the

• technical support of either the ISP or NETGEAR recommends changing the MTU

setting. These web-based applications might require an MTU change:

A secure website that does not open, or displays only part of a web page

- Yahoo email

- MSN portal

You use VPN and experience severe performance problems.

•

You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you are

• experiencing connectivity or performance problems.

Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication problems. For example, you might not be able to access certain websites, frames within websites, secure login pages, or FTP or POP servers.

information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points receive current device status at the expense of more network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic.

7. Type the advertisement time to live in hops. The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP

packet sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value.

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. 192.168.1.1

•

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.

Manage Dynamic DNS

Note: Dynamic DNS works only if the router’s IP address is a public IP address. However, with a mobile broadband connection, your LTE provider usually assigns the router a private IP address, in which case Dynamic DNS does not function. This limitation does not apply to a wired Internet connection. For more information about Dynamic DNS with a mobile broadband connection, contact your LTE provider.

Internet service providers (ISPs) assign numbers called IP addresses to identify each Internet account. Most ISPs use dynamically assigned IP addresses. This means that the IP address can change at any time. You can use the IP address to access your network remotely, but most people don’t know what their IP addresses are or when this number changes.

To make it easier to connect, you can get a free account with a Dynamic DNS service that lets you use a domain name to access your home network. To use this account, you

User Manual70Specify Network Settings

4G LTE WiFi Orbi Router Model LBR20

must set up the router to use Dynamic DNS. Then the router notifies the Dynamic DNS service provider whenever its IP address changes. When you access your Dynamic DNS account, the service finds the current IP address of your home network and automatically connects you.

If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.

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.

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.

Use the router as a DHCP server

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.

Manage custom static routes

Typically, you do not need to add static routes unless you use multiple routers or multiple IP subnets on your network.

As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:

Your main Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.

•

Your home network includes an ISDN router for connecting to the company where

• you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100.

Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.

•

When you set up your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you try to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the company firewall is likely to deny the request.

In this case you must define a static route, telling your router to access 134.177.0.0 through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. Here is an example:

The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route

• applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.

The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses will be

• forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.

The Private check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case

• RIP is activated.

Use the router as a WiFi access point only

By default, router functions as both a router and a WiFi access point (AP).

If you disable the mobile broadband connection entirely so that the router uses a wired Internet connection only (see Change the Internet connection mode to wired Internet only or mobile broadband only on page 22), you can set up the router to run exclusively as an AP on the same local network as another router or gateway. If you do so, the router features are disabled.

For example, you can use the Orbi router as an AP that connects to a gateway or modem router that you already use for your Internet service. In this situation, you do not need to change the settings for the gateway or modem router.

To set up the Orbi router as an AP after you set up your Internet connection:

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Internet port of this router to a LAN port on your existing router or gateway.

Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi network.

3. Enter orbilogin.com. A login window opens.

•

manually assign a specific IP address to this router while it is in AP mode. Using this option effectively requires advanced network experience.

Note: To prevent WiFi interference with other routers or gateways in your network, we recommend that you use different WiFi settings on each router or gateway. You can also turn off the WiFi radio on the other router or gateway and use only the Orbi router for WiFi client access.

8. Click the Apply button. The IP address of the router changes, and you are disconnected.

9. To reconnect, close and restart your browser and enter orbilogin.com.

Set up router mode

If you set up your router to function as an access point only (see Use the router as a WiFi access point only on page 86), you can change it back to function as a router, which is the default function.

To set up the Orbi router as a router:

Set up a bridge for a port group or VLAN tag group

This feature can function only if you disable the mobile broadband connection entirely so that the router uses a wired Internet connection only (see Change the Internet connection mode to wired Internet only or mobile broadband only on page 22) and if the router function in router mode (its default mode).

Some devices, such as an IPTV, cannot function behind the router’s Network Address Translation (NAT) service or firewall. Based on what your wired Internet provider requires, for the device to connect to the wired Internet provider’s network directly, you can enable the bridge between the device and the router’s wired Internet port or add new VLAN tag groups to the bridge.

Note: If your wired Internet provider gave you directions on how to set up a bridge for IPTV and Internet service, follow those directions.

Set up a bridge for a port group

If the devices that are connected to the router’s Ethernet LAN port include an IPTV device, your wired Internet provider might require you to set up a bridge for a port group for the router’s Internet interface.

A bridge with a port group prevents packets that are sent between the IPTV device and the router’s Internet port from being processed through the router’s Network Address Translation (NAT) service.

User Manual88Specify Network Settings

Set up a bridge for a VLAN tag group

If the devices that are connected to the router’s Ethernet LAN ports include an IPTV device, your wired Internet provider might require you to set up a bridge for a VLAN tag group for the router’s Internet interface.

If you are subscribed to IPTV service, the router might require VLAN tags to distinguish between the Internet traffic and the IPTV traffic. A bridge with a VLAN tag group prevents packets that are sent between the IPTV device and the router’s Internet port from being processed through the router’s Network Address Translation (NAT) service.

You can add VLAN tag groups to a bridge and assign VLAN IDs and priority values to each VLAN tag group.

To add a VLAN tag group and enable the bridge:

Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi network.
