Change the WAN port speed

The router's WAN port supports Ethernet speeds up to 2.5 Gbps. The router's LAN
Ethernet ports 2–5 support Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps.
If your modem supports Internet connection speeds up to 1 Gbps only, you can set the
router's LAN port 2 as the WAN port and connect your modem to LAN port 2. The WAN
port now acts as a LAN port that operates at 2.5 Gbps.
You can then connect your satellite to your router using an Ethernet backhaul connection.
To set up the Ethernet backhaul connection, use an Ethernet cable to connect the
satellite's LAN port 1 to the router's WAN port 1 to have a Ethernet backhaul speed of
2.5 Gbps.
To change the WAN port speed:
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 opens.
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.

5. In the WAN Port Speed section, select a WAN port speed radio button:
• Port 1 (2.5G). The WAN port operates at a speed of 2.5 Gbps. Connect your
modem to the router's WAN port if this radio button is selected. This is the default
option.
• Port 2 (1G). If you select this option, the router's LAN port 2 becomes the WAN
port that operates at a speed of 1 Gbps. The WAN port becomes a LAN port that
operates at a speed of 2.5 Gbps. Connect your modem to LAN port 2 if this radio
button is selected.
