or WiFi connection:

label of the Orbi Pro router to connect to the Orbi WiFi network.
6. Launch a web browser and visit orbilogin.com.
7. If a login window opens, enter the user name and password.
The user name is admin and the default password is password.

The Orbi Pro router’s ring LED turns off after the setup is complete.
Set Up the Orbi Pro Router as an Access Point
You can set up the router to run as an access point (AP) on the same local network as
another router or gateway.
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Internet port of this router to a LAN port on
your existing router or gateway.
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 specied the rst time
that you logged in.
The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
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 xed IP settings on this device (not recommended). Use this setting if
you want to manually assign a specic 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.
8. Click the Apply button.
The IP address of the router changes, and you are disconnected.
9. To reconnect, close and restart your browser and enter orbilogin.com.
