Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 Router Model SXR50 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 Satellite Model SXS50
• Add VLAN 40 with the name Guest. As tagged members of VLAN 40, add the
switch port (port 1 in the diagram) that is cabled to the network router as a trunk
port, and do the same for the switch port (port 2 in the diagram) that is cabled
to the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 router.
4. Configure the VLANs on the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 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, the Employee VLAN with ID 20, the
IoT VLAN with ID 30, and the Guest VLAN with ID 40, all 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 74).
5. Configure the WiFi networks on the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 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), the
Wireless 2 WLAN (assigned to VLAN 20), the Wireless 3 WLAN (assigned to VLAN 30),
and the Guest Portal WLAN (assigned to VLAN 40), all 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 85).
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.
6. Change the VLANs for LAN ports on the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 satellite.
In this sample configuration, change the VLANs for the following satellite's LAN ports:
• Satellite LAN 3 port: Assign to the Employee VLAN with ID 20 because this port
is cabled to a desktop that is used for employee access.
• Satellite LAN 4 port: Assign to the Guest VLAN with ID 40 because this port is
cabled to a desktop that is used for guest access.
For more information, see Change the VLAN profile for an Ethernet port on page
82.
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 router's LAN 1 and LAN 2 ports and
the satellite's LAN 1 and LAN 2 ports. In this sample configuration, all these ports
are part of the Admin network (the default network):
• Router LAN port 1: Cabled to the satellite's LAN 1 port.
• Router LAN port 2: Cabled to a desktop that is used for admin access.
