Connect to the Network and Access the Router

Orbi High-Performance AC3000 Tri-band WiFi System
• WiFi network key or password. Your router and satellite are preset with the same WiFi
network name (SSID) and password for WiFi access. This information is on the router
label and the satellite label.
• Router login. This logs you in to the router interface from a web browser as admin.
Use a Web Browser to Access the Router
When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable), you can use a
web browser to access the router to view or change its settings. The first time you access the
router, the NETGEAR installation assistant automatically checks to see if your router can
connect to your Internet service.
Automatic Internet Setup
You can set up your router automatically, or you can use a web browser to access the router
and set up your router manually. Before you start the setup process, get your ISP information
and make sure that the computers and devices in the network use the settings described
here.
When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all
the information needed to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need the
following information to set up your router:
• The ISP configuration information for your DSL account
• ISP login name and password
• Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this setting is rare)
If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet
connection is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your computer
to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router automatically logs
you in.
Installation and basic setup takes about 15 minutes to complete.
To automatically set up your router:
1. Turn the router on by pressing the On/Off button.
2. Make sure that your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is connected to the router with
an Ethernet cable (wired) or wirelessly with the preset security settings listed on the label.
Note: If you want to change the router’s WiFi settings, use a wired connection
to avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect.
3. Launch a web browser.
The page that displays depends on whether you accessed the router before:
• The first time that you set up the Internet connection for your router, the browser goes
to orbilogin.com, and the Orbi login page displays.
