Use the router as a WiFi access point only
By default, the Orbi router functions as both a router and WiFi access point. You can
set up the router to run as a WiFi access point only on the same local network as another
router or gateway.
For example, you can use the Orbi router as a WiFi access point 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:
1.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Internet port of the Orbi router to a LAN port
on your existing gateway or modem router.
2.
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.
4. 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.
The BASIC Home page displays.
5.
Select ADVANCED > Advanced > Router / AP Mode.
The Router / AP Mode page displays.
6. Select the AP Mode radio button.
The page adjusts.
7. Select the IP address setting:
•
Get dynamically from existing router. The other router on the network assigns
an IP address to the Orbi router while the Orbi router is in AP mode.
•
Enable fixed IP settings on this device (not recommended). Use this setting
if you want to manually assign a specific IP address to the Orbi router while it is
in AP mode. Using this option effectively requires advanced network experience.
Note: To avoid interference with other routers or gateways in your network, we
recommend that you use different WiFi settings on each router and gateway. If the
other router or gateway is also a WiFi access point, you could turn off the WiFi radio
on the other router or gateway and use the Orbi router only for WiFi client access.
