Orbi RBR20 Setup: Easy Install & Configuration

The Netgear Orbi RBR20 is a mesh WiFi router that connects to your home network using an Ethernet cable. What’s great is that you can also add satellite devices to extend your WiFi coverage—no cables needed for those! In this guide, you’ll learn step-by-step how to set up and configure your Orbi RBR20 router effortlessly.

Step 1: Connecting Your Orbi RBR20 Router
Let’s start by getting your Orbi router connected to your modem:

Take the Ethernet cable and plug one end into the yellow (WAN) port on the Orbi RBR20.

Connect the other end to the LAN port on your modem.

Power up the router by plugging it into a power source.

Connecting Satellites (Optional):
If you’re using Orbi satellites to extend your WiFi, you don’t need to use any extra cables. Just place them in different areas of your home, plug them into a power source, then press the Sync button on both the router and each satellite. They’ll automatically pair within a few minutes.

Step 2: Setting Up and Configuring the Network
You can finish setting up and managing your Orbi RBR20 in two ways—either using the Orbi app on your phone or through a web browser on your computer.

Option 1: Using the Orbi App (Phone/Tablet)
Download the Orbi app from the Google Play Store, Apple App Store, or the official Netgear website.

Open the app and sign in using the admin username and password found on your router’s label or in the user manual.

Once logged in, you’ll have access to the dashboard where you can adjust settings, update the firmware, and enable features like guest WiFi.

Option 2: Using a Web Browser (PC/Laptop)
First, make sure your computer is connected to the Orbi network (either via WiFi or using an Ethernet cable).

Open your web browser and go to orbilogin.net or enter 192.168.1.1 into the address bar.

When prompted, enter the default admin credentials (found on the router label or in the manual).

Once logged in, you’ll be able to access all the device settings and complete the setup.

Customizing Your Network Settings
After setup, you can personalize your network. Here’s how:

Change WiFi Name & Password:
Go to the Wireless Settings section via the app or browser interface. Enter your new network name (SSID) and password, then save.

Switch WiFi Channels (2.4GHz / 5GHz):
Under Wireless Network > Frequency Band, select your preferred channel and save the changes.

Update Admin Login Credentials:
In the browser interface, go to Admin Settings, set a new password, and hit save. This helps secure your network from unauthorized access.

Wrapping Up
And that’s it! You now know how to set up and configure your Netgear Orbi RBR20 router using both the app and web interface. Whether you’re adjusting settings or just getting started, the process is straightforward and user-friendly.
