Types of logins
Separate types of logins serve different purposes. It is important that you understand
the difference so that you know which login to use when.
Types of logins:
•Internet service login. The login that your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you
logs you in to your Internet service. Your service provider gave you this login
information in a letter or some other way. If you cannot nd this login information,
contact your service provider.
•WiFi network key or password. Your router and satellite are preset with the same
WiFi network name (SSID) and password for WiFi access. This information is on the
router label and the satellite label.
•Router login. This logs you in to the router interface from a web browser as admin.
Use a web browser to access the router
When you connect to the network (either with WiFi or with an Ethernet cable), you can
use a web browser to access the router to view or change its settings. The rst time you
access the router, the NETGEAR installation assistant automatically checks to see if your
router can connect to your Internet service.
Use the automatic Internet setup option
You can set up your router automatically, or you can use a web browser to access the
router and set up your router manually. Before you start the setup process, get your ISP

information and make sure that the computers and devices in the network use the
settings described here.
When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you
all the information needed to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need
the following information to set up your router:
•The ISP conguration information for your DSL account
•ISP login name and password
•Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this setting is rare)
If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet
connection is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your
computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router
automatically logs you in.
Installation and basic setup takes about 15 minutes to complete.
To automatically set up your router:
1. Power on your router.
2. Make sure that your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is connected to the
router with an Ethernet cable (wired) or wirelessly with the preset security settings
listed on the label.

User Manual32Specify Your Internet Settings
Orbi WiFi System
operational domain of 6rd to the service provider’s network and is under direct control
of the service provider. The IPv6 service provided is equivalent to native IPv6. The 6rd
mechanism relies on an algorithmic mapping between the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses that
are assigned for use within the service provider’s network. This mapping allows for
automatic determination of IPv4 tunnel endpoints from IPv6 prexes, allowing stateless
operation of 6rd.
With a 6rd Tunnel conguration, the router follows the RFC5969 standard, supporting
two ways to establish a 6rd tunnel IPv6 WAN connection:
•Auto Detect Mode. In IPv6 Auto Detect mode, when the router receives option 212
from the DHCPv4 option, auto detect selects the IPv6 as 6rd Tunnel setting. The
router uses the 6rd option information to establish the 6rd connection.
•Manual Mode. Select 6rd. If the router receives option 212, the elds are
automatically completed. Otherwise, you must enter the 6rd settings.

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 the data path
User Manual41Specify Your Internet Settings
Orbi WiFi System
uses a lower MTU setting than the other devices, the data packets must be split or
“fragmented” to accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.
The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often the default value. In some
situations, changing the value xes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU
unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:
•You experience problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the
technical support of either the ISP or NETGEAR recommends changing the MTU
setting. These web-based applications might require an MTU change:
- A secure website that does not open, or displays only part of a web page
- Yahoo email
- MSN portal
•You use VPN and experience severe performance problems.
•You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you are
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 websites,
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 to your
Orbi network.
2. Enter .orbilogin.com
A login window opens.
3. Enter the admin user name and password.

6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
If you suspect an MTU problem, a common solution is to change the MTU to 1400.
If you are willing to experiment, you can gradually reduce the MTU from the maximum

of Service
Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) prioritizes WiFi voice and video trafc
over the WiFi link. WMM QoS is automatically enabled.
WMM QoS prioritizes WiFi data packets from different applications based on four access
categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the
benets of WMM QoS, WMM must be enabled for both it and the client running that
application. Legacy applications that do not support WMM and applications that do
not require QoS are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority
than voice and video.

6. Type the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period species how often the router broadcasts its UPnP
information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30
minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points receive current device status
at the expense of more network trafc. Longer durations can compromise the
freshness of the device status but can signicantly reduce network trafc.
7. Type the advertisement time to live in hops.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP
packet sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops
can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4
hops, which should be ne for most home networks. If you notice that some devices

•Disable SIP ALG. The application-level gateway (ALG) for the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) is enabled by default for enhanced address and port translation.
However, some types of VoIP and video trafc might not work well when the SIP

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 that the
IP address can change at any time. You can use the IP address to access your network
remotely, but most people don’t know what their IP addresses are or when this number
changes.
To make it easier to connect, you can get a free account with a Dynamic DNS service
that lets you use a domain name to access your home network. To use this account, you
must set up the router to use Dynamic DNS. Then the router noties the Dynamic DNS
service provider whenever its IP address changes. When you access your Dynamic DNS
account, the service finds the current IP address of your home network and automatically
connects you.
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic
DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.

Set up a default DMZ server
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and
videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation
(NAT). The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work
correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one
local computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is
entered as the default DMZ server.
DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ server
loses much of the protection of the rewall and is exposed to exploits from the Internet.
If compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to attack other computers on
your network.
The router usually detects and discards incoming trafc from the Internet that is not a
response to one of your local computers or a service that you congured in the Port
Forwarding/Port Triggering page. Instead of discarding this trafc, you can specify that
the router forwards the trafc to one computer on your network. This computer is called
the default DMZ server.

•Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private
networks and are suitable for most applications. If your network requires a different IP
addressing scheme, you can change these settings.

Use the router as a DHCP server
By default, the router acts as a Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) server. The
router assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected
to the LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP
address. Using the default addressing scheme, dene a range between 192.168.1.2
and 192.168.1.254, although you can save part of the range for devices with xed

Manage custom static routes
Typically, you do not need to add static routes unless you use multiple routers or multiple
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 where
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 route
was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your
local network for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this conguration, if you try to access
a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The
ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the company
rewall is likely to deny the request.
In this case you must dene a static route, telling your router to access 134.177.0.0
through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. Here is an example:
•The and elds specify that this static routeDestination IP Address IP Subnet Mask
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
•The eld species that all trafc for these addresses will beGateway IP Address
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.

Customize Internet Trafc Rules for
Ports
You can use port forwarding and port triggering to set up rules for Internet trafc. You
need networking knowledge to set up these features.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Manage port forwarding to a local server
• Manage port triggering
111
Manage port forwarding to a local server
If your home network includes a server, you can allow certain types of incoming trafc
to reach the server. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server,
or game server visible and available to the Internet.
The router can forward incoming trafc with specic protocols to computers on your
local network. You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify a
default DMZ server to which the router forwards all other incoming protocols.
Set up port forwarding to a local server
To forward specic incoming protocols:
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 the
service.
The server computer must always use the same IP address. To specify this setting,
use the reserved IP address feature. See Manage reserved LAN IP addresses on
page 73.
3. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
Orbi network.
4. Enter .orbilogin.com

Application example: Make a local web server public
If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow
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 using DHCP
address reservation.
In this example, your router always gives your web server an IP address of
192.168.1.33.
2. On the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering page, congure the router to forward the
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.
3. (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and specify that name
on the Dynamic DNS page of the router.
Dynamic DNS makes it much easier to access a server from the Internet because you
can type the name in the Internet browser. Otherwise, you must know the IP address
that the ISP assigned, which typically changes.
User Manual115Customize Internet Trafc Rules
for Ports
Orbi WiFi System
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 sends a
web page request message with the following destination information:
•Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address
of your router.
•Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server
process.
2. Your router receives the message and nds your port forwarding rule for incoming
port 80 trafc.
3. The router changes the destination in the message to IP address 192.168.1.123 and
sends the message to that computer.
4. Your web server at IP address 192.168.1.123 receives the request and sends a reply
message to your router.
5. Your router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address,
and sends the reply through the Internet to the computer or WiFi device that sent
the web page request.
Manage port triggering
Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:
•An application must use port forwarding to more than one local computer (but not
simultaneously).
•An application must open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port.
With port triggering, the router monitors traffic to the Internet from an outbound “trigger”
port that you specify. For outbound trafc from that port, the router saves the IP address
of the computer that sent the trafc. The router temporarily opens the incoming port
or ports that you specify in your rule and forwards that incoming traffic to that destination.
Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range of ports to a single
local computer. Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer when
needed and close the ports when they are no longer needed.

7. To change the time-out period, in the eld, enter a valuePort Triggering Timeout
up to 9999 minutes.
This value controls how long the inbound ports stay open when the router detects
no activity. This value is required because the router cannot detect when the
application terminates.
Application example: Port triggering for Internet Relay Chat
Some application servers, such as FTP and IRC servers, send replies to multiple port
numbers. Using port triggering, you can tell the router to open more incoming ports
when a particular outgoing port starts a session.

Use VPN to Access Your Network
You can use OpenVPN software to remotely access your router using virtual private
networking (VPN). This chapter explains how to set up and use VPN access.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Set up a VPN connection
• Specify VPN service in the router
• Install OpenVPN software
• Use a VPN tunnel on your Windows-based computer
• Use VPN to access your Internet service at home
• Block VPN client Internet access in the router
• Use a VPN tunnel to access your Internet service at home
120
Set up a VPN connection
A virtual private network (VPN) lets you use the Internet to securely access your network
when you aren’t home.
This type of VPN access is called a client-to-gateway tunnel. The computer is the client,
and the router is the gateway. To use the VPN feature, you must log in to the router and
enable VPN, and you must install and run VPN client software on the computer.
VPN uses DDNS or a static IP address to connect with your router.
To use a DDNS service, register for an account with a host name (sometimes called a
domain name). You use the host name to access your network. The router supports
these accounts: NETGEAR, No-IP, and Dyn.
If your Internet service provider (ISP) assigned a static WAN IP address (such as 50.196.x.x
or 10.x.x.x) that never changes to your Internet account, the VPN can use that IP address
to connect to your home network.
Specify VPN service in the router
You must specify the VPN service settings in the router before you can use a VPN
connection.
To specify the VPN service:
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.
