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.

User Manual17Connect to the Network and
Orbi Whole Home AC1200 Mesh WiFi System
Use the automatic Internet setup option
You can set up your Orbi router automatically with the router web interface. 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 Orbi router:
1. Make sure that your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is connected to the
router with a wired or WiFi connection.
Wired. Connect an Ethernet cable to the router's Ethernet port and to an Ethernet
•
port on your computer.
WiFi. Connect your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to the Orbi setup
•
network called Orbi_setup.
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.
2. Launch a web browser.
The page that displays depends on whether you accessed the router before:
The first time that you set up the Internet connection for your router, the browser
•
goes to orbilogin.com, and the Orbi login page displays.
If the router web interface does not display, enter orbilogin.com in the address
•
field for your browser to start the installation process.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions.
The router connects to the Internet.

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
User Manual29Specify Your Internet Settings
Orbi Whole Home AC1200 Mesh WiFi System
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
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.
With a 6rd Tunnel configuration, the router follows the RFC5969 standard, supporting
two ways to establish a 6rd tunnel IPv6 WAN connection:
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
router uses the 6rd option information to establish the 6rd connection.
Manual Mode. Select 6rd. If the router receives option 212, the fields are
•
automatically completed. Otherwise, you must enter the 6rd settings.
To set up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Internet connection:
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 admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

If the IPv4 network returns 6rd parameters to the router, the page adjusts to
display the correct settings in this section.
