Installation and Configuration Panel
The installation of the Orbi devices is surprisingly easy and fast. If you have a modern smartphone, then simply install Orbi App available in Google or Apple store. If you don’t have one, then you can always use a standard way via a web browser and a standard IP address.
Above, you can see the NETGEAR video with an installation, while below, I will show you all the steps and the most important options in the configuration.
Above, you can see nine easy steps on the smartphone app that let you finish the Orbi installation. It’s really so simple. The screenshots tell the whole story, so I don’t think I have to describe every step separately.
More advanced configurations can be found by entering the setup with a web browser. I recommend checking available options even if you are a less advanced user, as not everything needs professional knowledge, and some options can make life easier.
In the configuration panel is an easy and advanced manual mode. Even the advanced one shouldn’t be complicated for many users while it lets to check additional settings and manage connections.
Below you can take a look at the configuration options available in the web panel. Screenshots were taken on the latest firmware, so they should be exactly the same as on devices just purchased.
Above are options available in the Basic tab. Below is the Advanced tab. On the list, you will find nearly everything that is in the most advanced routers. There is even more than most users will ever need. Everything is clear and easy to understand.
The whole installation and basic configuration took us about five minutes. This is awesome.
After everything is configured, we can perform some tests, so let’s move to the next page to check our results.
