Use the router as a WiFi access point

You can set up the router to run as an access point (AP) on the same local network as
another router or gateway.
For example, you can use the Orbi router as a WiFi access point that connects to a
gateway or modem router that you already use for your Internet service. In this situation,
you do not need to change the settings for the gateway or modem router.
To set up the Orbi router as an AP after you set up your Internet connection:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Internet port of this router to a LAN port on
your existing router or gateway.
2. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
Orbi network.
3. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
4. 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.
5. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Router/AP Mode.
The Router/AP Mode page displays.
6. Select the AP Mode radio button.
