Orbi LTE Router Model LBR20
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 first 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
Whether you use a mobile broadband connection or a wired Internet connection, you
can set up your router automatically. You can also use a web browser to access the
router and set up your router manually.
Before you start the setup process, get your LTE provider information, or if you use a
wired Internet connection, your ISP information. Make sure that the computers and
devices in the network use the settings described here.
When your Internet service starts, your LTE provider or wired Internet service provider
(ISP) typically gives you all the information needed to connect to the Internet. For wired
DSL service, you might need the following information to set up your router:
•
The ISP configuration 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 DSL provider for the information. When
your Internet connection is working, you no longer need to launch an 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 over WiFi with the preset security settings listed on the label or with an Ethernet
cable.

Manage the Mobile Broadband
Connection
Usually, the quickest way to set up the router to use your mobile broadband Internet
connection is to allow Orbi to detect the mobile broadband Internet connection when
you first access the router with a web browser. You can also customize or manually
specify your mobile broadband Internet connection settings.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Internet connection over mobile broadband
• Orbi features that do not apply to a mobile broadband connection
• Use the Setup Wizard to detect the mobile broadband Internet connection
• Set up automatic failover
• Change the Internet connection mode to wired Internet only or mobile broadband
only
• Change the LTE provider’s access point name
• Change the mobile broadband network mode
• Configure the mobile broadband PDP, authentication method, and credentials
• Enter the PIN or PUK
• Change the roaming setting

Internet connection over mobile broadband
By default, when the router powers up with a nano SIM card installed, and if you did not
configure mobile broadband as a backup connection only, the router automatically
searches for and connects to your LTE provider’s mobile broadband network. This
process might take several minutes. For more information, see Connect your router to
a mobile broadband network on page 10. The nano SIM card that is installed determines
the mobile broadband network to which the router connects.
Note: Even though the router might connect to the mobile broadband network of the
same LTE provider each time that you start the router, the type of mobile broadband
service (LTE, 4G, or 3G) to which the router connects might differ.
If the router does not automatically connect to the mobile broadband network, the Ring
LED lights solid magenta, and you might need to contact your LTE provider to get the
Access Point Name (APN) to which the router must connect (see Change the LTE
provider’s access point name on page 23).
If you do not want the router to connect automatically to the mobile broadband network,
change the default autoconnect option (see Change the Internet connection mode to
wired Internet only or mobile broadband only on page 22).
Orbi features that do not apply to a mobile
broadband connection
When the router Is using a wired Internet connection, all Orbi features work. Because
of mobile broadband limitations, when the router is using a mobile broadband Internet
connection, the following Orbi features do not work:
•
Dynamic DNS
•
Port forwarding
•
VLAN bridge
•
AP mode (that is, the router functions an access point only with its default router
mode disabled)
The first three features on the list work only if the router’s IP address is a public IP address.
However, with a mobile broadband connection, your LTE provider assigns the router a
private IP address. The AP mode feature does not work with a mobile broadband
connection because the router cannot receive an IP address if its router features are
disabled.

Set up automatic failover
The router can use a wired Internet connection with automatic failover support so that
you can connect the router to an existing DSL, cable, or fiber-optic modem (see Optional:
Connect your router to a wired modem on page 11). If the wired Internet connection
goes down, the router can automatically and seamlessly switch over to the backup
Internet connection over the mobile broadband network for continuous connectivity.
If you change the Internet connection mode to either wired Internet connection only or
mobile broadband only (see Change the Internet connection mode to wired Internet
only or mobile broadband only on page 22), the router does not provide failover.

Set up an IPv6 6rd tunnel Internet connection
The 6rd protocol makes it possible to deploy IPv6 to sites using a service provider’s
IPv4 network. 6rd uses the service provider’s own IPv6 address prefix. This limits the
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
User Manual39Specify the Wired Internet
Settings

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 prefixes, allowing stateless
operation of 6rd.
With a 6rd Tunnel configuration, 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 fields are
automatically completed. Otherwise, you must enter the 6rd settings.

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 the data path
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 fixes 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.
For example, if a secure website does not open, or displays only part of a web page,
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 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.
User Manual47Specify the Wired Internet

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
value of 1500 until the problem goes away. The following table describes common
MTU sizes and applications.

Enable or disable WiFi Multimedia Quality
of Service
Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) prioritizes WiFi voice and video traffic
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
benefits 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

Improve network connections with Universal
Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers,
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time
communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance, enable UPnP.

By default, this check box is selected. UPnP for automatic device configuration can
be enabled or disabled. If the Turn UPnP On check box is cleared, the router does
not allow any device to automatically control router resources, such as port
forwarding.
6. Type the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies 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 traffic. Longer durations can compromise the
freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic.
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 fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices
are not being updated or reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this
value.
8. Click the Apply button.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing
the router and which ports (internal and external) that device opened. The UPnP

•
NAT Filtering. Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the router
processes inbound traffic. Secured NAT protects computers on the LAN from
attacks from the Internet, but might prevent some Internet games, point-to-point

Change the LAN TCP/IP settings
The router is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act as
a DHCP server. The router’s default LAN IP configuration is as follows:
•
LAN IP address. 192.168.1.1
•
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.
You might want to change these settings if you need a specific IP subnet that one or
more devices on the network uses, or if you use competing subnets with the same IP
scheme.

Manage Dynamic DNS
Note: Dynamic DNS works only if the router’s IP address is a public IP address. However,
with a mobile broadband connection, your LTE provider usually assigns the router a
private IP address, in which case Dynamic DNS does not function. This limitation does
not apply to a wired Internet connection. For more information about Dynamic DNS
with a mobile broadband connection, contact your LTE provider.
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.
User Manual70Specify Network Settings
Orbi LTE Router Model LBR20
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 notifies 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 firewall 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 traffic from the Internet that is not a
response to one of your local computers or a service that you configured in the Port
Forwarding/Port Triggering page. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can specify that
the router forwards the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called
the default DMZ server.

Use the router as a DHCP server
By default, the router acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration 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, define a range between 192.168.1.2
and 192.168.1.254, although you can save part of the range for devices with fixed
addresses.

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 configuration, 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
firewall is likely to deny the request.
In this case you must define 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 Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
•
The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic 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 case
RIP is activated.

Use the router as a WiFi access point only
By default, router functions as both a router and a WiFi access point (AP).
If you disable the mobile broadband connection entirely so that the router uses a wired
Internet connection only (see Change the Internet connection mode to wired Internet
only or mobile broadband only on page 22), you can set up the router to run exclusively
as an AP on the same local network as another router or gateway. If you do so, the router
features are disabled.
For example, you can use the Orbi router as an AP 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.
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.

manually assign a specific IP address to this router while it is in AP mode. Using
this option effectively requires advanced network experience.
Note: To prevent WiFi interference with other routers or gateways in your network,
we recommend that you use different WiFi settings on each router or gateway. You
can also turn off the WiFi radio on the other router or gateway and use only the Orbi
router for WiFi client access.
8. Click the Apply button.
The IP address of the router changes, and you are disconnected.

Set up a bridge for a port group or VLAN tag
group
This feature can function only if you disable the mobile broadband connection entirely
so that the router uses a wired Internet connection only (see Change the Internet
connection mode to wired Internet only or mobile broadband only on page 22) and if
the router function in router mode (its default mode).
Some devices, such as an IPTV, cannot function behind the router’s Network Address
Translation (NAT) service or firewall. Based on what your wired Internet provider requires,
for the device to connect to the wired Internet provider’s network directly, you can
enable the bridge between the device and the router’s wired Internet port or add new
VLAN tag groups to the bridge.
Note: If your wired Internet provider gave you directions on how to set up a bridge for
IPTV and Internet service, follow those directions.
Set up a bridge for a port group
If the devices that are connected to the router’s Ethernet LAN port include an IPTV
device, your wired Internet provider might require you to set up a bridge for a port
group for the router’s Internet interface.
A bridge with a port group prevents packets that are sent between the IPTV device and
the router’s Internet port from being processed through the router’s Network Address
Translation (NAT) service.

Set up a bridge for a VLAN tag group
If the devices that are connected to the router’s Ethernet LAN ports include an IPTV
device, your wired Internet provider might require you to set up a bridge for a VLAN
tag group for the router’s Internet interface.
If you are subscribed to IPTV service, the router might require VLAN tags to distinguish
between the Internet traffic and the IPTV traffic. A bridge with a VLAN tag group prevents
packets that are sent between the IPTV device and the router’s Internet port from being
processed through the router’s Network Address Translation (NAT) service.
You can add VLAN tag groups to a bridge and assign VLAN IDs and priority values to
each VLAN tag group.

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
110
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.
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.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VPN Service.
The VPN Service page displays.
5. Select the Enable VPN Service check box.
By default, VPN uses the UDP service type with port number 12973 for TUN mode
and port number 12874 for TAP mode. If you want to customize the service type,
mode, and port, we recommend that you change these settings before you install
the OpenVPN software.

Use a VPN tunnel on your Windows-based
computer
After you set up the router to use VPN and install the OpenVPN application on your
computer, you can open a VPN tunnel from your computer to your router over the
Internet.
For the VPN tunnel to work, the local LAN IP address of the remote router must use a
different LAN IP scheme from that of the local LAN where your VPN client computer is
User Manual117Use VPN to Access Your Network
Orbi LTE Router Model LBR20
connected. If both networks use the same LAN IP scheme, when the VPN tunnel is
established, you cannot access your home router or your home network with the
OpenVPN software.
The default LAN IP address scheme for the router is 192.x.x.x.The most common IP
schemes are 192.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x, and 10.x.x.x. If you experience a conflict, change the
IP scheme either for your home network or for the network with the client VPN computer.
For information about changing these settings, see Change the LAN TCP/IP settings on
page 69.
To open a VPN tunnel:
1. Launch the OpenVPN application with administrator privileges.
Figure 1. The OpenVPN icon displays in the Windows taskbar.
TIP: You can create a shortcut to the VPN program, then use the shortcut to access
the settings and select the run as administrator check box. Then every time you
use this shortcut, OpenVPN automatically runs with administrator privileges.
2. Right-click the OpenVPN icon.

Use VPN to access your Internet service at
home
When you’re away from home and you access the Internet, you usually use a local Internet
service provider. For example, at a coffee shop you might be given a code that lets you
use the coffee shop’s Internet service account to surf the web.
Orbi Pro lets you use a VPN connection to access your own Internet service when you’re
away from home. You might want to do this if you travel to a geographic location that
doesn’t support all the Internet services that you use at home. For example, your Netflix
account might work at home but not in a different country.
Set up VPN client Internet access in the router
By default, the router is set up to allow VPN connections only to your home network,
but you can change the settings to allow Internet access. Accessing the Internet remotely
through a VPN might be slower than accessing the Internet directly.

Manage port forwarding to a local server
Note: Port forwarding works only if the router’s IP address is a public IP address.
However, with a mobile broadband connection, your LTE provider usually assigns the
router a private IP address, in which case port forwarding does not function. This
limitation does not apply to a wired Internet connection. For more information about
port forwarding with a mobile broadband connection, contact your LTE provider.
If your home network includes a server, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic
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 traffic with specific 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 specific 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 77.

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 fixed 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, configure the router to forward the
HTTP service to the local address of your web server at 192.168.1.33.
User Manual125Customize Internet Traffic Rules
for Ports
Orbi LTE Router Model LBR20
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.
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 finds your port forwarding rule for incoming
port 80 traffic.
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 traffic from that port, the router saves the IP address
of the computer that sent the traffic. The router temporarily opens the incoming port
or ports that you specify in your rule and forwards that incoming traffic to that destination.
User Manual126Customize Internet Traffic Rules
for Ports
Orbi LTE Router Model LBR20
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.

specified port triggering settings.
7.
To change the time-out period, in the Port Triggering Timeout field, enter a value
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.
An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Your computer connects to an IRC server at
destination port 6667. The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port,
but also sends an “identify” message to your computer on port 113. Using port triggering,
you can tell the router, “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you must
also allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.” The following
sequence shows the effects of the port triggering rule you define:
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 destination
port number of 6667, the standard port number for an IRC server process. Your
computer then sends this request message to your router.
3. Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication
session between your computer and the IRC server. Your router stores the original
information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source address
and port, and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server.
4.
Noting your port triggering rule and observing the destination port number of 6667,
your router creates another session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to
your computer.
5. The IRC server sends a return message to your router using the NAT-assigned source
port (for example, port 33333) as the destination port. The IRC server also sends an
“identify” message to your router with destination port 113.
6. When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 33333, it checks
its session table to see if a session is active for port number 33333. Finding an active
session, the router restores the original address information replaced by NAT and
sends this reply message to your computer.
7. When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 113, it checks
its session table and finds an active session for port 113 associated with your
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 inactivity
in the communications. The router then removes the session information from its
session table, and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port numbers 33333 or
113.

Quick tips for mobile broadband troubleshooting
If you cannot connect to the Internet over the mobile broadband connection, check the
following:
•
Make sure that the nano SIM card is inserted correctly into the router.
•
Check with your LTE provider to ensure that good coverage exists in the area.
•
Make sure that your LTE provider account is active.
For more information troubleshooting suggestions, see Troubleshoot the mobile
broadband Internet connection on page 146.
Check the signal strength of the mobile broadband
connection
You can check the signal strength of the mobile broadband connection. If the signal is
weak, move the router to another location, for example, closer to a window or higher
up in your home.
To check the signal strength of the mobile broadband connection:
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.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Click the ADVANCED tab.
5. In the Internet Port pane, click the Connection Status button.
The Mobile Information pop-up window opens.

7. To exit the page, click the Close Window button.
Sequence to restart your wired network
If your router is connected to a wired modem for a wired Internet connection, when you
restart your wired 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 and
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 mobile device’s
MAC address to the router’s access list.
Network settings
Make sure that the network settings of the computer or mobile device are correct.
Connected computers and mobile devices must use network IP addresses on the same
network as the router. The simplest way to do this is to configure each computer and
mobile device to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP. Most computers and
mobile devices are set up this way by default.
Some cable modem service providers require you to use the MAC address of the
computer initially registered on the account. You can view the MAC address on the
Attached Devices page.
Troubleshoot the mobile broadband Internet
connection
If your router cannot access the Internet over a mobile broadband connection, check
the following:
•
Make sure that the nano SIM card is inserted correctly into the router.
•
Check with your LTE provider to ensure that good coverage exists in the area.
User Manual146Troubleshooting
Orbi LTE Router Model LBR20
•
Make sure that your LTE provider account is active.
•
Check to see if the router gets better access to the mobile broadband signal if you
move the router closer to a window or higher up in your home.
For information about the signal strength, see Check the signal strength of the mobile
broadband connection on page 145.
•
Check to see if your LTE provider is experiencing network problems. It might not be
that the router cannot connect to the Internet, but rather that your LTE provider
cannot provide an Internet connection.
•
You might need to change the APN (see Change the LTE provider’s access point
name on page 23). Contact your LTE provider.
Note: If you call your LTE provider, they might want you to provide information about
your mobile broadband connection. For detailed information, see Check the mobile
broadband Internet connection status on page 98 and Display Internet port statistics
on page 101.
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. Then move
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.
If the Power LED on the back of the satellite does not light and if the satellite has a
Power On/Off button, press the Power On/Off button.
4.
Wait for the satellite’s ring LED to light solid white or magenta.
5. Press the Sync button on the router and then within two minutes, press the Sync
button on the satellite.
6.
Wait for the satellite to sync with the router.
User Manual147Troubleshooting
Orbi LTE Router Model LBR20
The satellite’s ring LED pulses white while it attempts to sync with the router. After
the ring LED pulses white, it lights one of the following colors for about three minutes
and then turns off:
•
Blue. The Orbi router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection
between the router and satellite is good.
•
Amber. The Orbi router and satellite successfully synced, but the connection
between the router and satellite is only fair. Consider moving the Orbi satellite
closer to the Orbi router.
•
Magenta. The Orbi router and satellite did not sync.
7.
Do one of the following:
•
The sync failed. If the sync failed, try to sync again by repeating Step 5 and Step
6. If the sync keeps failing, try a different location or position.
•
The sync is successful. If the sync is successful, move the satellite to the location
where you want to install it and continue with Step 8.
8. At the new location, connect the satellite to a power source.
9. At the new location, resync the satellite with the router by repeating Step 5 and Step
6.
If the satellite’s ring LED lights blue or amber, the satellite synced successfully. If the
satellite’s ring LED lights blue, the connection is good. If the satellite’s ring LED lights
amber, consider moving the satellite closer to the router so that you can get a good
connection instead of a fair connection.
10.
If the satellite’s ring LED lights magenta, the satellite did not resync with the router.
If they successfully synced when they were placed in the same room, do one of the
following:
•
Move the satellite closer to the router and try again. The router must be within
the satellite’s WiFi cover area for a good or fair connection to the satellite.
•
Place another satellite between the router and the satellite that you are trying to
sync. Then try to sync between the two satellites. With daisy chain networking,
your satellites can connect to each other or to the router, depending on which
connection is best.

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 the
Orbi network.
2.
If you are connected to Orbi but you cannot access the Internet, check to see if your
Internet connection is working.
3.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
4. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
5. 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.
6. Click the ADVANCED tab.
The ADVANCED Home page displays.
7.
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 LTE provider or
wired Internet provider.
If your router cannot obtain an IP address from the provider, you can try to force your
SIM card or wired modem to recognize your router by restarting your network. For more
information, see Troubleshoot the mobile broadband Internet connection on page 146
or Sequence to restart your wired network on page 146.
If your router is still unable to obtain an IP address from your LTE provider or wired
Internet provider, the problem might be one of the following:
•
If your LTE provider or wired Internet provider requires a login, the login name and
password might be set incorrectly.
•
Your wired Internet provider might require a login program. Ask your provider
whether they require PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or some other type of login.
User Manual149Troubleshooting
Orbi LTE Router Model LBR20
•
Your wired Internet provider might check for your computer’s host name. Assign
the computer host name of your provider account as the account name on the
Internet Setup page.
•
Your wired Internet provider allows only one Ethernet MAC address to connect to
Internet and checks for your computer’s MAC address, do one of the following:
-
Inform your provider that you bought a new network device and ask them to use
the router’s MAC address.
-
Configure your router to clone your computer’s MAC address.
You cannot log in to the router
Make sure that your computer or mobile device is connected to the Orbi WiFi network.
If you do not want to use a WiFi connection, you can connect your computer to the Orbi
router with an Ethernet cable. The computer must have an Ethernet port.
If you changed the admin password and you forgot what it is, see Reset the admin
password on page 97.
Troubleshoot Internet browsing
If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any web
pages from the Internet, it might be for one of the following reasons:
•
The traffic meter is enabled, and the limit was reached.
By configuring the traffic meter not to block Internet access when the traffic limit is
reached, you can resume Internet access. If your ISP sets a usage limit, they might
charge you for the overage.
•
Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses. A DNS server is a
host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric
IP addresses.
Typically, your ISP provides the addresses of one or two DNS servers for your use.
If you entered a DNS address during the router’s configuration, restart your computer.
Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with a DNS address, as
explained in the documentation for your computer.
•
The router might not be configured as the default gateway on your computer.
Reboot the computer and verify that the router address (www.orbirlogin.com) is
listed by your computer as the default gateway address.
•
You might be running login software that is no longer needed. If your ISP provided
a program to log you in to the Internet (such as WinPoET), you no longer need to
User Manual150Troubleshooting
Orbi LTE Router Model LBR20
run that software after installing your router.You might need to go to Internet Explorer
and select Tools > Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and select Never
dial a connection. Other browsers provide similar options.
Troubleshoot PPPoE
If you are using PPPoE with your wired modem, try troubleshooting your Internet
connection.
To troubleshoot a PPPoE connection for a wired modem:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. 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.
4. Click the ADVANCED tab.
The ADVANCED Home page displays.
5. In the Internet Port pane, click the Connection Status button.
The Connection Status window opens.
6.
Check the Connection Status window to see if your PPPoE connection is active and
working.
If the router is not connected, click the Connect button.
The router continues to attempt to connect indefinitely.
7.
If you cannot connect after several minutes, the router might be set up with an
incorrect service name, user name, or password, or your ISP might be experiencing
a provisioning problem.
Unless you connect manually, the router does not authenticate using PPPoE until
data is transmitted to the network.
User Manual151Troubleshooting
Orbi LTE Router Model LBR20
Troubleshoot WiFi connectivity
If you are experiencing trouble connecting to the Orbi WiFi network, try to isolate the
problem:
•
Does the WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that you are using find your WiFi
network?
If you disabled the router’s SSID broadcast, then your WiFi network is hidden and
does not display in the list of networks that your computer or WiFi device finds. (By
default, SSID broadcast is enabled.)
•
Does your WiFi-capable device support the security that you are using for your WiFi
network (WPA or WPA2)?
•
To view the WiFi settings for the router, use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer
to a LAN port on the router. Then log in to the router, and select BASIC > Wireless.
Note: Be sure to click the Apply button if you change settings.
•
If you are trying to connect to the 5 GHz 1 or 5 GHz 2 band, does your WiFi-enabled
computer or mobile device support this standard?
•
Did your computer or WiFi device automatically connect to a different WiFi network
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 request
packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. You can
easily troubleshoot a network using the ping utility in your computer or workstation.
Test the LAN path to your router
You can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your router
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 field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the router, as in this
example:
User Manual152Troubleshooting
Orbi LTE Router Model LBR20
ping www.orbilogin.com
3. Click the OK button.
You should see a message like this one:
Pinging <IP address > 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 following
problems:
•
Wrong physical connections
For a wired connection, make sure that the numbered LAN port LED is lit for the port
to which you are connected.
Check that the appropriate LEDs are on for your network devices. If your router and
computer are connected to a separate Ethernet switch, make sure that the link
LEDs are lit for the switch ports that are connected to your computer and router.
•
Wrong network configuration
Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both
installed and configured on your computer.
Verify that the IP address for your router and your computer are correct and that
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 computer to
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 <IP address>
where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP DNS server.
If the path is functioning correctly, messages display that are similar to those shown in
Test the LAN path to your router on page 152.
User Manual153Troubleshooting
Orbi LTE Router Model LBR20
If you do not receive replies, check the following:
•
Check to see that the IP address of your router is listed as the default gateway for
your computer. If DHCP assigns the IP configuration of your computers, this
information is not visible in your computer Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP
address of the router is listed as the default gateway.
•
Check to see that the network address of your computer (the portion of the IP address
specified by the subnet mask) is different from the network address of the remote
device.
•
Check to see that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.
•
If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter that host name as the
account name on the Internet Setup page.
•
Your ISP might be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your
computers.
Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of
your broadband modem. Some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of
a single computer connected to that modem. If your ISP does this, configure your router
to “clone” or “spoof” the MAC address from the authorized computer.
