Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 Router Model SXR50 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 Satellite Model SXS50
Note: LANs (networks) and LAN ports are two different concepts. By default, all LAN
ports and the WAN port on the router and all LAN ports on any connected satellites are
Ethernet ports in the same physical network segment (LAN 1) and members of VLAN 1.
However, you can assign a LAN port to a different VLAN.
To configure your Orbi Pro WiFi 6 router and satellite with a guest network that is
separate from your admin network:
1. Configure the VLANs on the router.
If you use the preset VLANs, you do not need to configure any VLANs. This sample
configuration uses the Default VLAN with ID 1 and the Guest VLAN with ID 40, both
of which are preset VLANs.
If you prefer to use custom VLANs, create the VLANs on the router (see Add a new
VLAN profile on page 75).
2. Configure the WiFi networks on the router.
If you use the preset WiFi networks, you do not need to configure any WiFi networks.
This sample configuration uses the Wireless 1 WLAN (assigned to VLAN 1) and the
Guest Portal WLAN (assigned to VLAN 40), both of which are default WLANs.
If you prefer to use other WLAN names or assign WLANs to other VLANs, change
the configuration for one or more existing WLANs (see Manage the WiFi Networks
on page 88).
Note: The router and satellite share the same WiFi settings. After you configure or
change these settings on the router, the settings are automatically synced with the
satellite.
3. Change the VLAN for the LAN 2 port on the satellite.
In this sample configuration, the satellite's LAN 2 port is cabled to a desktop that is
used for guest access. For the LAN port 2, change the VLAN to the Guest VLAN with
ID 40 (see Change the VLAN profile for an Ethernet port on page 83).
By default, all LAN ports are assigned to VLAN 1, the default VLAN. That means that
you do not need to change the VLAN for the satellite's LAN 1 port. In this sample
configuration, this port is part of the Admin network.
4. Change the port mode for the satellite's LAN 1 and LAN 2 ports.
By default, the port mode for any LAN port is Trunk mode. In this sample
configuration, the satellite's LAN 1 and LAN 2 ports are cabled to end devices
(desktops). Therefore, change the port mode for these ports to Access mode (see
Port mode: Trunk mode or Access mode on page 86).
