Guest Wifi Test Deep Link Orbi (2024)

FAQs

What is a deep link in guest Wi-Fi test? ›

A deep link is a hyperlink that directs users to a specific page or content within an application rather than just the homepage. The deeplink tester will check that the deep links work correctly and redirect users to the intended destination.

Guest Wi-Fi refers to a separate wireless network that provides internet access for guests or visitors while keeping them isolated from the host's primary network.

Wi-Fi configuration:

2.4Ghz band: 600Mbps (2 x 300Mbps) 5Ghz band-1: 1,200Mbps (2 x 600Mbps) 5Ghz band-2: 2,400Mbps (4 x 600Mbps) (backhaul only)

Check the lights on your router

It should also have a light that shows wireless activity. A quick way to see if you have freeloaders is to turn off all your wireless devices and see if the light is still blinking. If it is, someone else is on your network.

While both deep links and normal web links guide users to specific content, deep links navigate users to a location inside an app, as opposed to a webpage.

Monitoring guest WiFi usage allows you to understand how your network is being used, identify any unauthorized access, and make informed decisions about capacity planning. Whether you run a small cafe or a large hotel, keeping an eye on your guest WiFi can prevent misuse and ensure a positive experience for all users.

Put Your IoT Devices on a Guest Network

Aside from visitors and children, ISPs often recommend setting up a guest account for IoT devices too. As it turns out, putting your smart home devices on a guest network is the best way to protect them from malicious hackers.

Most modern routers offer a feature called guest networking, which allows you to create a separate Wi-Fi network for friends and family to use when they visit. From the guest network, they'll be able to access the internet, but they won't have access to network resources like shared folders, printers, or NAS devices.

Does Orbi router have to connect directly to modem? ›

The Orbi router typically doesn't have a built-in modem. If you're using a separate modem, you can connect it to the Orbi router via Ethernet.

A tri-band AC3000 device, the Orbi router has six internal antennas and can deliver theoretical throughputs speeds of 1,266Mbps to clients (400Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 866Mbps on the 5GHz band).

It uses Multi Links Operation (MLO), a WiFi 7 feature, to combine dedicated 5GHz and 6GHz band to forge a specialized mesh network backhaul connection between the Orbi router and its mesh satellites. This design allows the Orbi system to achieve unimpeded speeds up to 10 Gbps across entire Orbi mesh system.

For instance, by using the HTML code <a href=”http://example.com/page”>Click here</a>, you can create a deep link that points directly to the specified page. This enables users to bypass the homepage and land on the exact content they're interested in, providing a more efficient and user-friendly browsing experience.

Deep linking definition: The use of custom URL schemes to direct users to specific pages within an app, enhancing user engagement, retention, and improving conversion rates.

Deep links send mobile device users directly to relevant pages in your app rather than your website. Users click on ads and go directly to your app pages. You can use deep links in many Google Ads products, including App campaigns for engagement, App dynamic remarketing, and Search, Shopping, and Display campaigns.

Set up your deep link and device, and test your deep link

Install the app without clicking any links. On your test device, open a web browser and navigate to your HTML testing page. Click the deep link. Use the Testing Console to check that your device is now reattributed to the test link.
