Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router Model SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite Model SXR80
Use the following guidelines:
• Default VLAN profile. For ports that are assigned to the Default VLAN profile, no
difference exists between Trunk mode and Access mode. You can connect a modem,
gateway, client device, or end device to a port that is assigned to the Default VLAN
profile. That is, for such a port, Trunk mode actually functions in a hybrid mode in
that it allows both tagged and untagged traffic:
- If a port receives untagged traffic (that is, without a VLAN tag), the port forwards
the traffic to LAN and the WLAN.
- If a port receives tagged traffic (that is, with a VLAN tag), the port forwards the
traffic to other ports that function in Trunk mode and that are assigned to the
same VLAN profile (by default, the Default VLAN profile with VLAN ID 1).
• Trunk mode. If a port must forward tagged packets with a specific VLAN tag only,
assign Trunk mode to the port, add a VLAN profile with the VLAN tag (that is, the
VLAN ID; see Add a new VLAN profile on page 129), and assign the port to the new
VLAN profile. Packets that include tags other than the specific VLAN tag are dropped
by the port.
• Access mode. If a LAN port connects only to a client or end device, you can assign
Access mode to the LAN port.
To change the port mode to Trunk mode or Access mode on the router (base) or
satellite:
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 BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VLAN / Bridge Settings.
The VLAN / Bridge Settings page displays.
For the router (base) and each satellite, the ports display on the page. The ports that
