Specify basic WiFi settings
The router and satellite come preset with the same WiFi network name (SSID) and the
same WiFi security. You can find the SSID and password on the router label and on the
satellite label. If you log in to the router and change the WiFi settings, the router
automatically sends the new settings to the satellite.
If you change your WiFi settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe
place where you can easily find it.
If your computer or mobile device is using a WiFi connection when you change the
network name (SSID) or other WiFi security settings, you are disconnected when you
click the Apply button. To avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired connection
to access the router.
To specify basic WiFi settings:
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 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).
