Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 Router Model SXR50 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 Satellite Model SXS50
router features are disabled to prevent any conflict with the other router or gateway on
the network.
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.
Note: If your network includes two or more Orbi Pro routers, we recommend that you
use router mode (the default operation mode) on all Orbi Pro routers.
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 Pro network.
3. 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 What to do if you get a browser security warning on
page 30.
4. Enter the admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you set 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.
The page adjusts.
7. Select the IP address setting:
• Get dynamically from existing router: The other router on the network assigns
an IP address to the Orbi Prorouter while the Orbi Pro router is in AP mode.
• Use fixed IP Address (not recommended): Use this setting if you want to
manually assign a specific IP address to the Orbi Pro router while the Orbi Pro
router is in AP mode. Using this option effectively requires advanced network
experience.
