To set up remote management:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi network.
2.
Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in.
The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4.
Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Remote Management.
The Remote Management page displays.
5.
Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.
6.
In the Allow Remote Access By section, specify the external IP addresses to be allowed to access the
cable modem router’s remote management.
For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as is practical.
Note
Select one of the following:
•
To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select the Only This Computer radio
button. Enter the IP address to be allowed access.
•
To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select the IP Address Range radio
button. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.
•
To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select the Everyone radio button.
7.
Specify the port number for accessing the cable modem router.
Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, enter a
custom port number for the remote cable modem router access. Choose a number from 1024 to 65535,
but do not use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate
for HTTP.
8.
Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
