Orbi Setup

I am setting up CBK40 to replace my current cable modem/router. Do I need to be wired Ethernet connected, to do initial config or can I connect to the CBK40 wirelessly? I have a laptop but does not have a wired Ethernet port.

Re: Orbi Setup

You can set up the Orbi with a WiFi connection.  (Wired ethernet is just "easier".)

The WiFi name and password are printed on the product label.

Use those credentials to connect to the Orbi, then a web browser to connect to "orbilogin.com".

It will walk you through the setup.

At some point, it will ask if you want to change the WiFi name and password.  This is where I (personally) change it to the WiFi name and password of my previous WiFi system so that all of my devices will connect automatically.

 

Good Luck!

Re: Orbi Setup

I thought I could do it wirelessly but could not remember. I am doing this remotely for my daughter, so all should go ok. Thanks!
