Set Up A Vpn Connection; Specify Vpn Service In The Router - NETGEAR SXS80 User Manual

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

Set up a VPN connection

A virtual private network (VPN) lets you use the Internet to securely access your network
when you are away from your business.
This type of VPN access is called a client-to-gateway tunnel. The computer is the client,
and the router is the gateway. To use the VPN feature, you must log in to the router and
enable VPN, and you must install and run VPN client software on the computer.
VPN uses DDNS or a static IP address to connect with your router.
To use a DDNS service, register for an account with a host name (sometimes called a
domain name). You use the host name to access your network. The router supports
these accounts: NETGEAR, No-IP, and Dyn.
If your Internet service provider (ISP) assigned a static WAN IP address (such as 50.196.x.x
or 10.x.x.x) that never changes to your Internet account, the VPN can use that IP address
to connect to your business network.

Specify VPN service in the router

You must specify the VPN service settings in the router before you can use a VPN
connection.
To specify the VPN service:
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.
