Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 Router Model SXR50 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 Satellite Model SXS50
The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive. If you did not
change the SSID during the setup process, the default SSID is shown. (The default
SSID is randomly generated and is on the router label.) If you change the name,
make sure to write down the new name and keep it in a safe place.
6. To change a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi channel, select a channel from the Channel
menu.
The channels that are available depend on your country or region. Do not change
the channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow
data transfers). If this happens, experiment with different channels to see which
channel works best for your.
When you use multiple WiFi routers, access points, WiFi gateways, satellites, and
extenders in your network, you experience less interference if adjacent devices use
different channels. For example, for the 2.4 GHz radio band, we recommend a
channel spacing with a minimum of four channels between adjacent devices (for
example, use channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
7. Although the preset Default VLAN profile for the Wireless 1 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 Default, the VLAN has ID 1, and the combination
is shown in the menu as Default(1).
For more information about VLANs, see Manage the VLANs on page 72, including
How the router organizes LANs, VLANs, and WLANs on page 74.
8. A WLAN schedule can turn WiFi broadcast off to block network access during days
and times when it is not needed and to save energy. To enable and configure a
WLAN schedule for the admin WiFi network, do the following:
a. Select the Enable WLAN schedule check box.
The page expands and shows the days and times that the WiFi signal is broadcast.
After you enable the WLAN schedule, by default, the WiFi signal is broadcast
every day from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
b. To change if the WiFi signal is broadcast during a day, clear or select the check
box for the day.
If you clear the check box for a day, the WiFi signal is not broadcast on that day.
c. To change when the WiFi signal is broadcast during a day, move the round icons
on the blue bar to the desired starting and ending times for the day.
The period that the WiFi signal is broadcast during that day displays to the left
of the blue bar.
9. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved. The router sends the new settings to the satellite.
