Set Up Router Mode - NETGEAR Orbi RBS840 User Manual

7. Select the IP address setting:
• Get dynamically from existing router. The other router on the network assigns
an IP address to the Orbi router while the Orbi router is in AP mode.
• Enable fixed IP settings on this device (not recommended). Use this setting
if you want to manually assign a specific IP address to the Orbi router while it is
in AP mode. Using this option effectively requires advanced network experience.
Note: To avoid interference with other routers or gateways in your network, we
recommend that you use different WiFi settings on each router and gateway. If the
other router or gateway is also a WiFi access point, you could turn off the WiFi radio
on the other router or gateway and use the Orbi router only for WiFi client access.
8. Click the Apply button.
The IP address of the Orbi router changes, and you are disconnected.
9. To reconnect, close and restart your browser and enter orbilogin.com.
