View Modem Router Initialization
You can track the initialization procedure of the cable modem router and get details about the downstream
and upstream cable channel.The time is displayed after the cable modem router is initialized.
The cable modem router automatically goes through the following steps in the provisioning process:
1. Scans and locks the downstream frequency and then ranges the upstream channels.
2. Obtains a WAN address for the cable modem router.
3. Connects to the Internet.
To view the status of the cable modem router initialization:
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 Orbi 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 Cable Connection.
The Cable Connection page displays.
The Startup Procedure section displays the initialization progress. The page also displays the status of
all downstream and upstream channels. (You must scroll down to view all the channels.) The number
of downstream and upstream channels that are locked depends on the number of channels that your
Internet provider uses.
Manually Set Up the Internet Connection
In most situations, you do not need to change these settings. We recommend that you use the default
settings for DHCP because most cable Internet services provide the IP address through DHCP.

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.
