Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite 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 SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite SXR80 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. The following table describes common MTU sizes and applications. Table 3.
4 Control Access to the Internet The router comes with a built-in firewall that helps protect your home network from unwanted intrusions from the Internet.
Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite 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 SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite 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 four WiFi networks and for the wired network. That is, the router supports a total of five MAC ACLs.
Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite SXR80 You can now add and manage devices on the MAC ACL.
Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite 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 SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite SXR80 c. In the Manual Access Management pop-up window, click the ADD button. 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. To remove a device from the MAC ACL, do the following: a.
Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite SXR80 4. Select ADVANCED > Security > MAC ACL. The MAC ACL page displays. 5. Go to the section for the network for which you want to disable the MAC ACL. The first section is for the admin WiFi network, the second for the employee WiFi network, the third for the IoT WiFi network, the fourth for the guest WiFi network, and the fifth for the wired network. 6. For the specific network, click the Enable MAC Access Control Enabled button.
Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Router SXR80 and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Satellite SXR80 Note: Each network device owns a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character physical address, containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F (uppercase or lowercase) only, and separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the label of a device. If you cannot see the label, you can display the MAC address using the network configuration utilities of a computer.
