Orbi High-Performance AC3000 Tri-band WiFi System
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 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. On your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device, find and select the WiFi network.
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 kit.
Note: If you bought the router and the satellite separately, their default WiFi
network 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.
To use WPS to connect to the WiFi network:
1. Make sure that the router is receiving power (its Power LED is lit).
2. Check the WPS instructions for your computer or WiFi device.
3. Press the Sync button on the router.
