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 dif
 ferent 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 sa\
me IP scheme.
To change the LAN TCP/IP settings:
1.  Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that \
is 
connected to the network.
2.  Enter  orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
3.  Enter the router user name and password.

5. In the IP Address field, type the IP address.
6.  In the IP Subnet Mask , type the subnet mask of the router. 
The IP address and subnet mask identifies which addresses are local to a\
 specific device  and which must be reached through a gateway or router.

7. Change the RIP settings.
Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing information with 
other routers. 
a.Select the RIP direction:
-Both. The router broadcasts its routing table periodically and incorporates 
information that it receives.
-Out Only. The router broadcasts its routing table periodically. 
-In Only. The router incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
b. Select the RIP version:
-Disabled. This is the default setting. 
-RIP-1. This format is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, 
unless you are using an unusual network setup. 
-RIP-2. This format carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the 
routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses 
multicasting.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
If you changed the LAN IP address of the router, you are disconnected when this change 
takes effect.
9. To reconnect, close your browser, relaunch it, and log in to the router.
Specify the IP Addresses That the Router Assigns
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.
To specify the pool of IP addresses that the router assigns:
1. Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that is 
connected to the network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router 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. Select  ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup .
5. Make sure that the Use Router as DHCP Server  check box is selected.
6.  Specify the range of IP addresses that the router assigns:
a. In the Starting IP 
 Address field, type the lowest number in the range.
This IP address must be in the same subnet as the router.
b.  In the Ending IP 
 Address field, type the number at the end of the range of IP 
addresses.
This IP address must be in the same subnet as the router.
7.  Click the  Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requ\
ests DHCP: • An IP address from the range that you defined
• Subnet mask
• Gateway IP address (the router’
 s LAN IP address)
• DNS server IP address (the router’
 s LAN IP address)
Disable the DHCP Server Feature in the Router
By default, the router acts as a 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.
You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server, or specify the network  settings of all your computers.

6.  Click the  Apply button.
7.  (Optional) If this service is disabled and no other DHCP server is on \
your network, set your 
computer IP addresses manually so that they can access the router.
Manage Reserved LAN IP Addresses
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that c\
omputer always 
receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Assign 
reserved IP addresses to computers or servers that require permanent IP \
settings. 
Reserve an IP Address

 . Reboot the computer, or access its IP configuration and force a DHCP release 
and renew.

Custom Static Routes
Typically, you do not need to add static routes unless you use multiple routers o\
r multiple IP  subnets on your network.
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following c\
ase: • Y
our main Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
•Y
our home network includes an ISDN router for connecting to the company w\
here you 
are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100.
• Y
our 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 t\
ry 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 acce\
ss 134.177.0.0 through 
the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. Here is an example: 
						

							Specify Network Settings 69
 Orbi High-Performance
 AC3000 Tri-band WiFi System
•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.
• A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN router is on the LAN.
• The  Private  check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case \
RIP 
is activated.

only.) 
7.  T
o limit access to the LAN only, select the Private check box. 
If Private is selected, the static route is not reported in RIP. 
8.  Select the  Active check box to make this route take ef
 fect. 
9.  T
ype the IP address of the final destination. 
10.  T
ype the IP subnet mask for this destination.  
						

							Specify Network Settings 
70 Orbi High-Performance AC3000 Tri-band WiFi System 
If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255. 
11. Type the gateway IP address.
This address must be on the same LAN segment as the router. 
12. Type a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value.
This value represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. 
Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1. 
13. Click the Apply button.
The static route is added.
