2. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.

Your settings are saved.
Change the LAN TCP/IP Settings
The cable modem router is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act as a DHCP
server. The cable modem 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 different 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 same IP scheme.
To change the LAN TCP/IP settings:
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.
