Set up your NETGEAR Orbi RBR350 for WorldNet fibre using a web browser. These original screenshots show the RBR350; menu names can vary by firmware.
Step 1: Connect the router
1.1 Turn off the ONT
Turn off your Optical Network Terminal (ONT), also known as the fibre box.
1.2 Connect the ONT to your router
Connect an Ethernet cable from the active Ethernet port on your ONT specified by WorldNet to the Internet port on your router. The ONT port number can vary; use the port specified for your connection.
1.3 Turn on the ONT
Switch on the ONT and wait about 2 minutes for it to restart.
1.4 Turn on the router
Connect the power adapter to the router and switch it on.
Step 2: Connect your device
Choose one of the following connection methods.
Option 1: Wired connection
Connect your computer to an available LAN port on the router using another Ethernet cable. Use an Ethernet adapter if needed.
Option 2: Wireless connection
Connect to the Wi-Fi name (SSID) printed on the router label using its Wi-Fi password. If you have changed these details, use your current Wi-Fi name and password.
Note: Keep your device connected to the router by Ethernet or Wi-Fi throughout setup.
Step 3: Set up the router
WorldNet Internet Settings
Internet Connection Type
Dynamic IP / DHCP / Automatic IP / IPoE
VLAN
Disabled / Off
Choose the matching option shown by your router.
3.1 Open the setup page
Open http://orbilogin.com in a web browser on your connected device. If the login page does not open, try http://192.168.1.1 or check the login address on your router label.
Note: If the page asks you to use the Orbi app, scroll down and choose the browser setup link, such as “I don’t have a mobile device that is compatible with the Orbi app.”
3.2 Log in to the router
The original router label lists admin as the username and password as the default password. Use your current admin password if it has changed. During first-time setup, follow the prompts to create your own admin password.
3.3 Configure the internet connection
Open BASIC > Internet, or ADVANCED > Setup > Internet Setup. Set:
Does your internet connection require a login? No
Internet IP Address: Get Dynamically from ISP
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: Get Automatically from ISP
Router MAC Address: Use Default Address
Select Apply to save.
3.4 Disable VLAN tagging
Go to ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > VLAN / Bridge Settings. Leave Enable VLAN/Bridge Setup unticked and select Apply.
3.5 Set your Wi-Fi name and password
Open BASIC > Wireless, or ADVANCED > Setup > Wireless Setup. Enter your preferred Wi-Fi name and a strong Wi-Fi password, then select Apply. Reconnect wireless devices using the new details.
3.6 Check for firmware updates
Once the internet connection is working, open ADVANCED > Administration > Firmware Update and select Check. If an update is available, follow the on-screen prompts or select Update All where shown. Keep the router powered on until the update finishes.
Step 4: Test your internet connection
Connect your device to the router by Ethernet or Wi-Fi, then open a website to check that the internet works.
Note: If you test on a phone, temporarily turn off mobile data so you can confirm the connection is coming through Wi-Fi rather than 4G/5G.
