Change the admin WiFi password or security level

You can change the admin password and security level (authentication and encryption
settings). The router supports Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3), WPA2, and mixed WPA
+ WPA2, including enterprise level WPA3 and enterprise level WPA2.
CAUTION: We recommend that you do not disable security for your admin WiFi network.
The router web interface calls the admin WiFi network the Wireless 1 network.
To change the admin WiFi password or security level:
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 28.
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.
The Wireless settings for the Wireless 1 network display on the page.
5. Under Security Options, select a WiFi security option:
• WPA2-PSK [AES]: The WPA2 option uses AES encryption. This type of security
allows only WiFi devices that support WPA2 or WPA3 to join the network.
When you select this option, the Password (Network Key) field displays. Do the
following:
a. In the Password (Network Key) field, enter the network key (password) that
you want to use.
It is a text string from 8 to 63 characters.
b. Write down the new password and keep it in a secure place for future
reference.
• WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]: If your network includes legacy devices
(devices that support only WPA), select this radio button. This option, which uses
AES and TKIP encryption, allows WiFi devices that support WPA, WPA2, or WPA3
to join the network.
