Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router Model SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite Model SXR80 Change the MTU size The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits. When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets travel through many devices along the way. If a device in the data path uses a lower MTU setting than the other devices, the data packets must be split or “fragmented” to accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.
Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router Model SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite Model SXR80 4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup. The WAN Setup page displays. 5. In the MTU Size field, enter a value from 64 to 1500. 6. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. If you suspect an MTU problem, a common solution is to change the MTU to 1400. If you are willing to experiment, you can gradually reduce the MTU from the maximum value of 1500 until the problem goes away.

Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router Model SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite Model SXR80 Manage MAC access control lists for WiFi networks and the LAN A MAC access control list (ACL) for a WiFi network (that is, an SSID) or the wired network (that is, the LAN) allows or denies a device access to the network based only on the MAC address of the device. If you block a device for one WiFi network or for the wired network, the device is blocked only for that WiFi network or for the wired network.
Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router Model SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite Model SXR80 Enable a MAC ACL for a specific network When you enable a MAC ACL for a specific network, you must specify the default policy for that network. The default policy determines whether devices that you add to the MAC ACL are allowed or denied access to that specific network. You can set up an independent MAC ACL for each of the WiFi networks and for the wired network. That is, the router supports multiple MAC ACLs.
Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router Model SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite Model SXR80 You can now add and manage devices on the MAC ACL.
Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router Model SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite Model SXR80 The devices are added to the MAC ACL on the MAC ACL page. Devices on the MAC ACL are an exception to the default policy: • If the default policy of the MAC ACL is to allow access, the added devices are denied access. • If the default policy of the MAC ACL is to deny access, the added devices are allowed access.
Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router Model SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite Model SXR80 The device is added to the MAC ACL on the MAC ACL page. Devices on the MAC ACL are an exception to the default policy: • If the default policy of the MAC ACL is to allow access, the added device is denied access. • If the default policy of the MAC ACL is to deny access, the added device is allowed access. 7.
