3. Enter the Orbi 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.
4. Select Wireless.
The Wireless Settings page displays.
5. To change the network name (SSID), type a new name in the Name (SSID) field.
The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive.The default SSID is randomly
generated and is on the router’s label. If you change the name, make sure to write down the new name
and keep it in a safe place.
6. To change the WiFi channel, select a number in the Channel list.
In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless you experience
interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this happens, experiment with different
channels to see which is the best.
When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different channels to
reduce interference.The recommended channel spacing between adjacent access points is four channels
(for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved. The router sends the new settings to the satellite.
If you are using a WiFi connection and you changed the SSID, you are disconnected from the network.
8. Make sure that you can connect to the WiFi network with its new settings.
If you cannot connect using WiFi, check the following:
• Is your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device connected to another WiFi network in your area?
Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they
discover.
• Is your computer or WiFi device trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before you
changed the settings)? If so, update the WiFi network selection in your computer or WiFi device to
match the current settings for your network.
