Network Segmentation on NETGEAR Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Series
A key differentiator between a business mesh system and its consumer counterpart is the level of security. Orbi
Pro offers the industry’s only SSID-VLAN Automatic Tie-in together with Network Segmentation. This allows a
small business to separate networked assets into public and departmental networks, through VLAN separation
and Level 3 IP segmentation. These two features greatly enhance the level of security in the business network,
across both wired and wireless networked assets.

How to Congure the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 with Network Segmentation
The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 local web graphical user interface (GUI) makes it simple to congure Network Segmentation
on both wired and wireless LANs, and can be completed in 3 simple steps.
1. Map SSID to VLAN
The diagram below shows how to map the pre-dened VLAN prole onto wireless SSIDs.
With the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 series, VLAN1 (Default), VLAN20 (Employee), VLAN30 (IoT), and VLAN40
(Guest) are created by default.
To verify and congure the VLAN database, follow this process: Advanced -> Advanced Settings ->
