Hi

How do I access the Orbi on my PC? I can use the app but I remember there was a way to view the settings online. I typed in the IP address and nothing will load. 

Is there a way to set the VPN on an Orbi so it looks like I'm in a different country? I have a VPN changer/blocker??? on my Norton 360 but that onlt handles the PC it is installed on and I want to change my WIFI VPN for the whole house.

      Thanks. I found it later but for some reason on my Windows 10 PC neither way will work and I tried the fixes it suggested clearing and such. It does work from my iPad so I'm all set.

    OpenVPN is included in the Orbi firmware to permit users to connect into their Orbi network when away from home.  It sounds like you want to have every device in the local LAN use a VPN connection without installing VPN software on each of the devices.  Orbi's OpenVPN does not do this.

     

    Sorry.
