Connect to the Orbi Pro Network and Access the Router

To manage your Orbi Pro router and any Orbi Pro satellites that are connected to your Orbi Pro network, you must manage them from your Orbi Pro router web interface.

This chapter contains the following sections:

•Connect to the Network

•Types of Logins

•Use a Web Browser to Access the Router

•Change the Language

21

Orbi Pro

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.OnyourWiFi-enabledcomputerormobiledevice,findandselecttheWiFinetwork.

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: Ifyouboughttherouterandthesatelliteseparately,theirdefaultWiFinetwork 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.

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 useawebbrowsertoaccesstheroutertovieworchangeitssettings. Thefirsttimeyou accesstherouter,theNETGEARinstallationassistantautomaticallycheckstoseeifyour 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 routerandsetupyourroutermanually. Beforeyoustartthesetupprocess,getyourISP information and make sure that the computers and devices in the network use the settings described here.

WhenyourInternetservicestarts,yourInternetserviceprovider(ISP)typicallygivesyou 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.

The page that displays depends on whether you accessed the router before:

•ThefirsttimethatyousetuptheInternetconnectionforyourrouter,thebrowser goes to orbilogin.com, and the Orbi login page displays.

•IfyoualreadysetuptheInternetconnection,enterorbilogin.comintheaddress field for your browser to start the installation process.

4.Follow the onscreen instructions. The router connects to the Internet.

5.If the browser does not display the web page, do the following:

•Make sure that the computer is connected to one of the four LAN Ethernet ports or over WiFi to the router.

•Make sure that the router is receiving power, and that its Power LED is lit.

•Close and reopen the browser or clear the browser cache.
