The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 supports virtual local area network (VLAN) management. VLAN management enables you to limit user access by network and create data separation for security.

Your Orbi Pro WiFi 6 offers four pre-defined VLANs; Default (VLAN 1), Employee (VLAN 20), Guest (VLAN 30), and IoT (VLAN 40). The Default VLAN is the only VLAN that can be edited or deleted.

Before you can create, configure, and assign your VLANs, make sure you set up your Orbi Pro WiFi 6. For more information, see How do I set up my Orbi Pro WiFi 6 network using Insight?.

To create a VLAN on your Orbi Pro WiFi 6:

Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to your Orbi network.
Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.

To assign port membership on the VLAN of your Orbi Pro WiFi 6:

By default, all ports are members of VLAN 1.

On the port or ports that are to be assigned as members of a VLAN, select their VLAN Profile drop-down menu.
Select a VLAN.
It is only possible to select a VLAN that is assigned to a LAN setup and where the LAN Setup is enabled.
Select the Mode for the port or ports. The port or ports can be configured either as Access port or Trunk port.
Trunk mode is a hybrid mode that supports VLAN-aware devices and non-VLAN-aware devices. Trunk mode is the default mode.
Access mode is used when a VLAN-unaware device is connecting to the port.
Click Apply.
The system reboots. After the system reboots, your settings are saved.
VLANs are now configured and assigned on your Orbi Pro WiFi 6.
