•
Satellite LAN port 1: Cabled to the router’s LAN 1 port.
•
Satellite LAN port 2: Cabled to a desktop that is used for admin access.
7. Change the port mode for LAN ports on the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 router and the satellite.
By default, the port mode for any LAN port is Trunk mode. In this sample
configuration, the router’s LAN 2 port and the satellite’s LAN 2, LAN 3, and LAN 4
ports are cabled to end devices (desktops). Therefore, change the port mode for
these ports to Access mode (see Port mode: Trunk mode or Access mode on page
87).
Troubleshooting tips:
•
If a WiFi device cannot get an IP address from the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 system, verify that
the WiFi network is assigned to the correct VLAN.
•
If a wired device cannot get an IP address from the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 system, verify
that the Ethernet port is assigned to the correct VLAN and that LAN is assigned to
the correct VLAN:
Note: If you Orbi Pro WiFi 6 router is in AP mode (the default operation mode is Router
mode), only the LAN 1 settings work. The other LAN subnets do not work. However, in
AP mode, the VLAN settings still apply to the WLANs, you can still can assign an Ethernet
port to another VLAN, and you can still change the port mode for an Ethernet port.
