Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router Model SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite Model SXR80

Change the transmission output power for a radio

By default, the transmission output power of the router is set at the maximum. If two or
more WiFi routers, access points, WiFi gateways, or combination of these WiFi devices
are operating in the same area and on the same channel, interference can occur. In
such a situation, you might want to decrease the transmission output power for one or
both radios.
Make sure that you comply with the regulatory requirements for total radio frequency
(RF) output power in your country.
To change the transmission output power for a radio:
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 Resolve a browser security warning on page 28.
3. Enter the 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 Advanced Wireless Settings page displays.
5. From the Transmit Power Control menu , select 100%, 50%, or 25%.

6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved. The radio restarts and WiFi clients might need to reconnect.

Generate a new backhaul password

The backhaul password is a security key that is used in WiFi communication between
the router and the satellite. You can generate a new backhaul password. After you
generate a new backhaul password, you must use the Sync button to build a new
backhaul connection so that the router and satellite can communicate with each other
using WiFi.
