• Next, connect your computer or laptop to Orbi’s network. Check its default SSID and password on its label.
• On an internet browser, visit routerlogin.net or 192.168.1.1.
• If prompted, use the admin username and password to log in. The admin details can also be found on the label.
• Update the admin password and provide answers to two security questions to help you recover lost admin password in the future.
• Also create SSID and WiFi password for the Orbi network.

The Orbi router remains close to the internet modem as they connect using an Ethernet cable. The Orbi satellites need to be placed in different areas of the home where you need internet access. Make sure that you are not forming a daisy chain connection between the Orbi devices. In this connection, one satellite connects to the router and the second satellite connects to the first satellite. This will result in a poor internet connection.

You should ensure that the satellites connect to the router directly. You can log in to the Orbi app or web interface to check the connection type.

In the End

We are sure that you are now well aware of how to login and setup an Orbi mesh WiFi system. After setting up the Orbi system, you can connect to the mesh network using the SSID and password that you created.
