Overview
The Orbi™ LTE Router creates dedicated high-speed WiFi connections to your Internet
service. The Orbi router integrates a cellular modem that can connect to the LTE mobile
broadband network of your LTE provider. The Orbi router can also connect to the
Internet through your wired modem or gateway, with automatic failover support from
a wired Internet connection to a mobile broadband connection.
The 4G LTE WiFi Orbi Router is compatible with select Orbi AC Satellites to create a
mesh WiFi system, supporting seamless 4K streaming and gaming everywhere in your
home.
This manual describes how to manage your 4G LTE WiFi Orbi Router from the Orbi
router web interface. If you install an optional satellite, you can manage your Orbi satellite
from the Orbi router web interface.
Note: If old features are removed in v2.6 or v2.7, this is becuase they have been retired
or replaced.
This chapter contains the following sections:
For more information about the topics covered in this manual, visit the support website
at netgear.com/support/.
Note: The router requires a nano SIM card to connect to mobile broadband. Get a
nano SIM card from your LTE provider. If the SIM has an assigned PIN/PUK, the GUI
prompts the user for a PIN.
Note: This manual might refer to the Orbi router as the router.
Note: SMS support is dependent on whether your carrier service plan supports SMS.
If your carrier supports SMS and you have firmware v2.6 or higher, the device can get
SMS messages from the SIM card, and you can read and delete SMS messages.
