Change the MTU size

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits. When one network device communicates across the Internet with another the data packets travel through many devices along the way. If a device in that uses a lower MTU setting than the other devices, the data packets must be so "fragmented" to accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.

The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often the default value. In sc situations, changing the value xes one problem but causes another. Leave the M unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:

• You experience problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and technical support of either the ISP or NETGEAR recommends changing the M' setting.
  For example, if a secure website does not open, or displays only part of a you might need to change the MTU.
• You use VPN and experience severe performance problems.
• You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now yo experiencing connectivity or performance problems.

Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication problems. For example, you might not be able to access certain websites, frames within websi secure login pages, or FTP or POP servers.

To change the MTU size:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected Orbi network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.

About the WiFi networks

The router provides three WiFi networks:

- Main network: The main WiFi network of the router broadcasts simultaneously the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. The router supports automatic bandste between these two radio bands in the main WiFi network. The main network enabled by default. You cannot disable the main network, or broadcast of the and 5 GHz radio bands in the main network. You can change the WiFi ne (SSID), security option, and password for the main network, all of which are to the main network. However, if you change the following settings for the network, the changes apply to all WiFi networks on the router:

- AX feature: By default, the AX feature is always enabled for the 2.4 GHz 5 GHz radio bands. You can disable the AX feature for the 2.4 GHz an radio bands individually.

- Channels: You can set xed channels for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio individually.

- IoT network: The Internet of things (IoT) network is enabled by default so t can connect WiFi-enabled smart devices that can range from light bulbs to app. If you do not need the IoT network, you can disable it. You can select th for the IoT network and change the WiFi network name (SSID), security optic password, all of which are unique to the IoT network.

- Guest network: The optional guest network is disabled by default, but you can enable it so that guests and visitors can connect to your WiFi without comp the security of your other WiFi networks. You can change the WiFi network (SSID), security option, and password for the guest network, all of which are to the guest network.

Manage the settings for the main WiFi network

The router and satellite come preset with the same WiFi network name (SSID) same WiFi security. You can nd the SSID and password on the router label a satellite label. If you log in to the router and change the WiFi settings, the r automatically sends the new settings to the satellite.

If you change your WiFi settings, make a note of the new settings and store place where you can easily nd it.

If your computer or mobile device is using a WiFi connection when you change network name (SSID) or other WiFi security settings, you are disconnected when click the Apply button. To avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired c to access the router.

Enable or disable the AX feature for the 2.4 GHz o radio band

The AX feature improves your network's WiFi capacity, Internet upload and down speeds, and WiFi range by allowing WiFi traffic from different devices to be co-managed. To do this, the AX feature uses Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple-Act (OFDMA), 4x4 multi-user MIMO, and intelligent scheduling.

The AX feature is enabled by default for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio band disable WiFi broadcast for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands, but you can AX feature for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands.

Note: If you change the AX feature for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio band, it also applies to the IoT network and the guest network.

Manage Dynamic DNS

Internet service providers (ISPs) assign numbers called IP addresses to identify each Internet account. Most ISPs use dynamically assigned IP addresses. This means the IP address can change at any time. You can use the IP address to access your remotely, but most people don't know what their IP addresses are or when this changes.

To make it easier to connect, you can get a free account with a Dynamic DI that lets you use a domain name to access your home network. To use this must set up the router to use Dynamic DNS. Then the router notifies the Dyna service provider whenever its IP address changes. When you access your Dynami account, the service finds the current IP address of your home network and aut connects you.

If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), t DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the I

The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some case local computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that component entered as the default DMZ server.

DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ is loses much of the protection of the rewall and is exposed to exploits from the If compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to attack other computer your network.

The router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is response to one of your local computers or a service that you congured in the Forwarding/Port Triggering page. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can specify the router forwards the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer the default DMZ server.

Manage custom static routes

Typically, you do not need to add static routes unless you use multiple routers IP subnets on your network.

As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:

• Your main Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
• Your home network includes an ISDN router for connecting to the company you are employed. This router's address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100.
• Your company's network address is 134.177.0.0.

When you set up your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created local network for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this conguration, if you try to a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the firewall is likely to deny the request.

In this case you must dene a static route, telling your router to access 134.17 through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. Here is an example:

• The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask elds specify that this static route applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
• The Gateway IP Address eld species that all trafc for these addresses will be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.
• The Private check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in RIP is activated.

Use OpenVPN to Access Your Network

You can use OpenVPN software to remotely access your router with virtual private networking (VPN). This chapter explains how to install and use OpenVPN software set up a VPN tunnel.

The chapter contains the following sections:

• About VPN connections
  • LAN IP addressing in VPN networks
• Enable OpenVPN service in the router
  • Install OpenVPN software on a VPN client
  • Use VPN to access your Internet service at home

About VPN connections

A virtual private network (VPN) lets you use the Internet to securely access you when you aren't home.

This type of VPN access is called a client-to-gateway tunnel. The computer is t and the router is the gateway. To use the VPN feature, you must do the foll

• Log in to the router to enable and configure OpenVPN (see Enable OpenVPN in the router on page 114).
• Install OpenVPN client software and conguration les on your device from which you want to use VPN (see Install OpenVPN software on a VPN client on pa
• Run the OpenVPN client software on your device when you want to use a connection.

Enabling OpenVPN on your router allows VPN connections between the router and client, for example your laptop when you are away from home. The router provides VPN service and the laptop is the VPN client. Traffic between the router and this is encrypted.

Note: The router itself does not function as a VPN client to an external VPN provider, so it does not encrypt traffic passing between your home network and Internet.

VPN can use either Dynamic DNS (DDNS) or a static IP address to connect w router:

• To use a DDNS service, register for a DDNS account with a host name. You host name to access your network. The router supports these DDNS accounts NETGEAR, No-IP, and Dyn. For more information, see Manage Dynamic DNS page 72.
• If your Internet service provider (ISP) assigned a static WAN IP address that changes, the VPN can use that IP address to connect to your home network

LAN IP addressing in VPN networks

For the VPN connection to work, your computer or device (the VPN client) mu connected to a network that uses a different LAN IP address scheme than you.

Customize Internet Trafc Rules for Ports

You can use port forwarding and port triggering to set up rules for Internet t need networking knowledge to set up these features.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Manage port forwarding to a local server
• Manage port triggering

Manage port forwarding to a local serve

If your home network includes a server, you can allow certain types of incoming to reach the server. For example, you might want to make a local web server or game server visible and available to the Internet.

The router can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to computers on your local network. You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify default DMZ server to which the router forwards all other incoming protocols.

Set up port forwarding to a local server

To forward specific incoming protocols to a local server:

1. Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.
2. Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will provide service.

How the router implements the port forwarding rule

The following sequence shows the effects of a port forwarding rule:

1. When you type the URL www.example.com in your browser, the browser send web page request message with the following destination information:

2. Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the add of your router.

3. Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web process.

4. Your router receives the message and nds your port forwarding rule for incc port 80 trafc.

5. The router changes the destination in the message to IP address 192.168.1.1 sends the message to that computer.

6. Your web server at IP address 192.168.1.123 receives the request and sends message to your router.

7. Your router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP add and sends the reply through the Internet to the computer or WiFi device that the web page request.

Application example: Make a local web server public

If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding web requests from anyone on the Internet to reach your web server.

To make a local web server public:

1. Assign your web server either a xed IP address or a dynamic IP address u address reservation.

In this example, your router always gives your web server an IP address of 192.168.1.33.

1. On the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering page, congure the router to forward HTTP service to the local address of your web server at 192.168.1.33.

HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.

1. (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and specify that on the Dynamic DNS page of the router.

Dynamic DNS makes it much easier to access a server from the Internet be can type the name in the Internet browser. Otherwise, you must know the I that the ISP assigned, which typically changes.

Manage port triggering

Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these

• An application must use port forwarding to more than one local computer (k simultaneously).
• An application must open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing

With port triggering, the router monitors traffic to the Internet from an outbound port that you specify. For outbound traffic from that port, the router saves the of the computer that sent the traffic. The router temporarily opens the incoming or ports that you specify in your rule and forwards that incoming traffic to that

Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range of ports local computer. Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer when needed and close the ports when they are no longer needed.

Add a port triggering service

To add a port triggering service:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected Orbi network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.

A login window opens.

1. Enter the admin user name and password.

The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specied the rs that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

The BASIC Home page displays.

1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced > Port Forwarding / Port Triggering.

The Port Forwarding / Port Triggering page displays.

1. Select the Port Triggering radio button.

The page adjusts.

1. Click the Add Service button.

The Port Triggering - Services page displays.

1. In the Service Name eld, type a descriptive service name.

2. In the Service User menu, select Any, or select Single address and enter the IP address of one computer:

3. Any. This selection (the default) allows any computer on the local area next (LAN) to use this service.

4. Single address. This selection restricts the service to a particular computer the LAN. Enter the IP address in the field that becomes available with this from the menu.

5. From the Service Type menu, select the service type, either TCP or UDP.

6. In the Triggering Port eld, enter the number of the outbound traffic port that open the inbound ports.

7. From the Connection Type menu, select the inbound connection type, TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP.

If you are not sure, select TCP/UDP.

1. Enter the inbound connection port numbers the Starting Port, and Ending Port elds.

2. Click the Apply button.

The service is now in the Portmap Table.

Disable port triggering or change the time-out period

By default, port triggering is enabled and a default time-out period is denied. This is disable port triggering or change the time-out period.

To disable port triggering or change the time-out period:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected Orbi network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.

A login window opens.

1. Enter the admin user name and password.

The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specied the rs that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

The BASIC Home page displays.

1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced > Port Forwarding / Port Triggering.

The Port Forwarding / Port Triggering page displays.

1. Select the Port Triggering radio button.

The page adjusts.

1. To disable port triggering, select the Disable Port Triggering check box.

If this check box is selected, the router does not use port triggering even specied port triggering settings.

1. To change the time-out period, in the Port Triggering Timeout eld, enter a up to 9999 minutes.

This value controls how long the inbound ports stay open when the router no activity. This value is required because the router cannot detect when the application terminates.

Application example: Port triggering for Internet Relay C

Some application servers, such as FTP and IRC servers, send replies to multiple numbers. Using port triggering, you can tell the router to open more incoming when a particular outgoing port starts a session.

An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Your computer connects to an IRC seed destination port 6667. The IRC server not only responds to your originating source but also sends an "identify" message to your computer on port 113. Using port you can tell the router, "When you initiate a session with destination port 6667 also allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer." The sequence shows the effects of the port triggering rule you done:

1. You open an IRC client program to start a chat session on your computer.
2. Your IRC client composes a request message to an IRC server using a des port number of 6667, the standard port number for an IRC server process. computer then sends this request message to your router.
3. Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this command session between your computer and the IRC server. Your router stores the information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source address and port, and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC service
4. Noting your port triggering rule and observing the destination port number of your router creates another session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic your computer.
5. The IRC server sends a return message to your router using the NAT-assigne port (for example, port 33333) as the destination port. The IRC server also "identify" message to your router with destination port 113.
6. When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 33333, it its session table to see if a session is active for port number 33333. Findir session, the router restores the original address information replaced by NAT sends this reply message to your computer.
7. When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 113, it its session table and nds an active session for port 113 associated with you computer. The router replaces the message's destination IP address with your computer's IP address and forwards the message to your computer.
8. When you finish your chat session, your router eventually senses a period of in the communications. The router then removes the session information from session table, and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port numbers 33113.

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides information to help you diagnose and solve problems you experience with your Orbi router or satellite. If you do not nd the solution he the NETGEAR support site at netgear.com/support for product and contact informa This chapter includes the following sections:

• Quick tips
  • The router and satellite do not sync
• You cannot log in to the router
• You cannot access the Internet
• Troubleshoot Internet browsing
• Troubleshoot PPPoE
• Troubleshoot WiFi connectivity
• Troubleshoot your network using the ping utility

Quick tips

This section describes tips for troubleshooting some common problems.

Sequence to restart your network

When you restart your network, follow this sequence:

1. Turn off and unplug the modem.
2. Turn off the router.

3. Plug in the modem and turn it on.
   Wait two minutes.

4. Turn on the router and wait two minutes.

WiFi settings

Make sure that the WiFi settings in the WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device the router match.

The WiFi network name (SSID) and WiFi security settings must match exactly.

If you set up an access list, you must add each WiFi-enabled computer or mol MAC address to the router's access list.

Network settings

Make sure that the network settings of the computer are correct. Wired and w connected computers must use network (IP) addresses on the same network as router. The simplest way to do this is to configure each computer to obtain a automatically using DHCP.

Some cable modem service providers require you to use the MAC address of computer initially registered on the account. You can view the MAC address on Attached Devices page.

The router and satellite do not sync

If you are experiencing difficulty syncing the router and the satellite, we recommend that you move the satellite into the same room as the router during the sync. The satellite to a different location.

To sync the router and the satellite:

1. Place the satellite in the same room as the Orbi router. Use this satellite location only during the sync process.
2. Connect the satellite to a power source.
3. Wait for the satellite LED to light solid white or magenta.
4. Press the Sync button on the router and then within two minutes, press the Sync button on the satellite.
5. Wait for the satellite to light.

The satellite LED pulses white while it attempts to sync with the router. After pulses white, it lights one of the following colors:

• Blue. The Orbi router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection between the router and satellite is good.

• Amber. The Orbi router and satellite failed to sync. Try repeating Step 4 If the sync keeps failing, try moving the satellite to a different location th to the router.

• Move the satellite to a new location and connect the satellite to a power

• At the new location, check the satellite LED and make sure it lights blue. If the satellite LED lights blue, the satellite synced successfully. If the satellite lights amber, move the satellite closer to the router and try again. The sate be within range of the router's WiFi cover area for a good connection to

You cannot log in to the router

Make sure that your computer or mobile device is connected to the Orbi WiFi If you do not want to use a WiFi connection, you can connect your computer router with an Ethernet cable.

If you changed the admin password and you forgot what it is, see Reset the password on page 97.

You cannot access the Internet

Check your network and Internet connections:

1. Make sure that your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is connected to Orbi network.
2. If you are connected to Orbi but you cannot access the Internet, check to Internet connection is working.
3. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to network.
4. Enter orbilogin.com.

A login window opens.

1. Enter the router admin user name and password.

The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

The BASIC Home page displays.

1. Click the ADVANCED tab.

The ADVANCED Home page displays.

1. Check that an IP address is shown for the Internet port.

If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your router did not obtain an IP address from your Internet provider (ISP).

If your router cannot obtain an IP address from the ISP, you can force your modem to recognize your new router by restarting your network. For more info see Sequence to restart your network on page 133.

If your router is still unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, the problem one of the following:

• Your Internet service provider (ISP) might require a login program. Ask your whether they require PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or some other type of login

• If your ISP requires a login, the login name and password might be set in

• Your ISP might check for your computer's host name. Assign the computer h name of your ISP account as the account name on the Internet Setup page

• If your ISP allows only one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet an for your computer's MAC address, do one of the following:

- Inform your ISP that you bought a new network device and ask them to router's MAC address.

- Congure your router to clone your computer's MAC address.

Troubleshoot Internet browsing

If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load pages from the Internet, it might be for one of the following reasons:

• The trafc meter is enabled, and the limit was reached.
  By conguring the trafc meter not to block Internet access when the trafc line reached, you can resume Internet access. If your ISP sets a usage limit, they charge you for the overage.
• Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses. A DNS server host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to IP addresses.
  Typically, your ISP provides the addresses of one or two DNS servers for yo. If you entered a DNS address during the router's configuration, restart your cc. Alternatively, you can congure your computer manually with a DNS address, a explained in the documentation for your computer.
• The router might not be congured as the default gateway on your computer Reboot the computer and verify that the router address (www.orbilogin.com) is by your computer as the default gateway address.
• You might be running login software that is no longer needed. If your ISP a program to log you in to the Internet, you no longer need to run that installing your router. You might need to go to Internet Explorer and select Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and select Never dial a connection.
  Other browsers provide similar options.

Troubleshoot PPPoE

If you are using PPPoE, try troubleshooting your Internet connection.

To troubleshoot a PPPoE connection:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.

A login window opens.

1. Enter the router admin user name and password.

The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

The BASIC Home page displays.

1. Click the ADVANCED tab.

The ADVANCED Home page displays.

1. In the Internet Port pane, click the Connection Status button.

The Connection Status window opens.

1. Check the Connection Status window to see if your PPPoE connection is acti working.

If the router is not connected, click the Connect button.

The router continues to attempt to connect indenitely.

1. If you cannot connect after several minutes, the router might be set up with incorrect service name, user name, or password, or your ISP might be exper a provisioning problem.

Unless you connect manually, the router does not authenticate using PPPoE u data is transmitted to the network.

Troubleshoot WiFi connectivity

If you are experiencing trouble connecting to the Orbi WiFi network, try to iso problem:

- Can your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that you are using nd your network?

• Does your WiFi-capable device support the security that you are using for your network (WPA3, WPA2, or WPA)?
• To view the WiFi settings for the router, use an Ethernet cable to connect to an Ethernet port on the router. Then log in to the router, and select E Wireless.

Note: Be sure to click the Apply button if you change settings.

- If you are trying to connect to the 5 GHz WiFi band, does your WiFi-enable or mobile device support this standard?

- Did your computer or WiFi device automatically connect to a different WiFi in your area, such as a WiFi hotspot?

Troubleshoot your network using the ping utility

Most network devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo rec packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. easily troubleshoot a network using the ping utility in your computer or worksta

Test the LAN path to your router

You can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to is set up correctly.

To ping the router from a Windows computer:

1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button and select Run.

2. In the eld provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the router, as example:
   ping www.orbilogin.com

3. Click the OK button.

You should see a message like this one:

Pinging with 32 bytes of data

If the path is working, you see this message:

Reply from < IP address>: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx

If the path is not working, you see this message:

Request timed out

If the path is not functioning correctly, you might be experiencing one of the problems:

- Wrong physical connections

Check that the appropriate LEDs are on for your network devices. If your ro computer are connected to a separate Ethernet switch, make sure that the li on the switch are lit for the switch ports that your computer and router are to.

- Wrong network conguration

Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and congured on your computer.

Verify that the IP address for your router and your computer are correct an the addresses are on the same subnet.

Test the path from your computer to a remote device

After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your comp a remote device.

To test the path from your computer to a remote device:

1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button and select Run.

2. In the Windows Run window, type:

ping -n 10

where is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP [If the path is functioning correctly, messages display that are similar to those s Test the LAN path to your router on page 138.

If you do not receive replies, check the following:

- Check to see that the IP address of your router is listed as the default gate your computer. If DHCP assigns the IP congruration of your computers, this information is not visible in your computer Network Control Panel. Verify that address of the router is listed as the default gateway.

- Check to see that the network address of your computer (the portion of the specified by the subnet mask) is different from the network address of the re device.

- Check to see that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.

Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System

• If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter that host name account name on the Internet Setup page.
• Your ISP might be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of computers.

Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address your broadband modem. Some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address a single computer connected to that modem. If your ISP does this, congregate you to "clone" or "spoof" the MAC address from the authorized computer.
