The VPN connection is established.You can do the following:
• Launch a web browser and log in to your router
.
• Use Windows file manager to access the router
’s USB device and download files.
Use VPN to Access Your Internet Service at Home
When you’re away from home and you access the Internet, you usually use a local Internet
service provider. For example, at a coffee shop you might be given a code that lets you use
the coffee shop’s Internet service account to surf the web.
Nighthawk lets you use a VPN connection to access your own Internet service when you’re
away from home.
You might want to do this if you travel to a geographic location that doesn’t
support all the Internet services that you use at home. For example, your Netflix account
might work at home but not in a different country.
Set Up VPN Client Internet Access in the Router
By default, the router is set up to allow VPN connections only to your home network, but you
can change the settings to allow Internet access. Accessing the Internet remotely through a
VPN might be slower than accessing the Internet directly.
To allow VPN clients to use your home Internet service:
1. Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that is
connected to the network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
