Network Segmentation on NETGEAR Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Series
Many SMBs achieve their separation of networks through VLANs. The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 series takes it one step
further by creating separate physical LANs — through a feature known as Network Segmentation. NETGEAR
Orbi Pro WiFi 6 supports IP segmentation across wired and wireless interfaces. The process in creating multiple
networks is by rst assigning a VLAN prole to each individual wired and wireless interface, then assign that VLAN
prole to one LAN. This wired/wireless VLAN separation can be completed without having to enable access to
proprietary internal systems or applications.
Network Segmentation is available in Orbi Pro WiFi6 (SXK80) and Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mini (SXK30).
How Customers can Take Advantage of Network Segmentation
One of the best ways to show the benets of Network Segmentation is with a couple of examples:
Guest printer access – A guest visiting a company may want access to a printer to create a hard copy of an airline
ticket for their return journey. So, the guest logs their wireless device into the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Guest SSID and
print out the airline ticket using a dedicated guest printer connected to the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 satellite located at the
front desk of the business.
Separate staff access – Different teams on the same work site can have their own dedicated LAN, all running from
the same single network, providing access to business-critical systems. So, there could be one for HR (employee
records), one for the nance department (invoices), and one for the sales team (access to a CRM).
