Set up a guest WiFi network with open access or password
authentication
The router web interface calls the guest WiFi network the Guest Portal network.
To set up a guest WiFi network with open access or local password authentication:
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 displays.
If your browser does not display a login window but displays a security warning and
does not let you proceed, see What to do if you get a browser security warning on
page 33.
3. Enter the admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you set the first time that you
logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select Wireless > Guest Portal.
The WiFi settings for guest access display on the page.
5. To enable the guest portal, select the Enable Guest Portal Network check box.
By default, the guest portal is disabled.
6. Leave the Enable SSID Broadcast check box selected.
Allowing the router to broadcast its WiFi network name (SSID) makes it easier to find
your network and connect to it. If you clear this check box, that creates a hidden
network.
7. To change the network name, type a new name in the Guest Portal Network Name
(SSID) field.
The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive. The default SSID
is the randomly generated SSID that is on the router’s label, but appended with
-GUEST. If you change the name, make sure to write down the new name and keep
it in a safe place.
8.
Although the preset Guest VLAN profile for the Guest Portal WiFi network works
well for most situations, if you want to change the VLAN profile, select the VLAN
Profile check box, and select another VLAN profile from the menu.
The preset VLAN profile name is Guest, the VLAN has ID 40, and the combination
is shown in the menu as Guest(40).
