Operating Your Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mini System

The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mini system offers advanced features for optimized network management and security.

Network Management with NETGEAR Insight

Manage your network remotely using the NETGEAR Insight app. This app allows you to monitor network status, connected devices, and adjust settings from anywhere. The system supports up to 4 SSIDs (Service Set Identifiers) for network segmentation, enabling you to create separate networks for administration, employees, guests, and IoT devices, enhancing security and control.

Hononga Waea

The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mini Router (SXR30) features 3 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and 1 Gigabit Ethernet WAN port. The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mini Satellite (SXS30) provides 4 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports. These ports allow for wired connections to devices such as printers, workstations, and point-of-sale systems, offloading traffic from the wireless network when needed.

VLAN and QoS

The system supports VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) and QoS (Quality of Service) features. VLAN allows for advanced network segmentation beyond SSIDs, providing true enterprise-grade security by isolating different network segments. QoS enables prioritization of network traffic, ensuring critical applications receive sufficient bandwidth for optimal performance.

Te tiaki

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and security for your Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mini Mesh System.

Ngā Whakahōu Firmware

NETGEAR regularly releases firmware updates to improve performance, add new features, and address security vulnerabilities. It is recommended to keep your system's firmware up-to-date. You can typically check for and apply updates through the NETGEAR Orbi app or the web interface. It is advisable to wait a few weeks after a new firmware release to ensure stability before updating.

Āhuatanga Haumarutanga

The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mini includes several security features:

• Tātari Wāhitau MAC: Control which devices can connect to your network based on their MAC address.
• Monokia UPnP: For enhanced security, it is recommended to disable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) if not explicitly required.
• Change Router Address and IP Ranges: Customize the router's IP address and the IP ranges for different VLANs to suit your network architecture and security policies.
• Disable Remote Management: Limit access to the router's configuration interface to local connections only.
• Taumahinga WPS: Firmware updates have removed WPS functionality from the fronthaul due to security concerns, enhancing overall network security.

Raparongoā

Anei nga otinga mo nga take noa ka pa ki a koe:

Admin Password Issues After Firmware Update

If the admin password stops working after a firmware update, it might be overwritten by an old password stored in the NETGEAR Insight app. To resolve this, change the password directly within the Insight app under "Location Configuration." This will automatically update the router's admin password.

Client Isolation Behavior

When "Client Isolation" is enabled, devices on the same network can see each other but are prevented from communicating directly (e.g., pinging or connecting). For true Layer 2 isolation where devices cannot even see each other, additional network configuration might be required, as the built-in client isolation primarily prevents direct communication rather than visibility.

Te uru atu Web Whirihoranga

The device's web user interface (UI) can typically only be accessed via the default VLAN network (VLAN 1). Ensure your administrative computer is connected to a WiFi network or LAN port that uses the default VLAN profile when attempting to access the web UI.

Slow Settings Application

Applying configuration changes to the Orbi system can sometimes take a few minutes, and networks may temporarily go offline. This is normal behavior during the configuration process. Plan for this during initial setup or when making significant changes.
