5. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > 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 this router while this 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 this 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.
You can also turn off the WiFi radio on the other router or gateway and
use the Orbi only for WiFi client access.

Generate a New Backhaul Password
The backhaul password is a security key that is used in WiFi communication between the
router and the satellite. You can generate a new backhaul password. After you generate a
new backhaul password, you must use the Sync button to build a new backhaul connection
so that the router and satellite can communicate with each other using WiFi.
 To generate a new backhaul password:
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 router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
