The Challenge
Orbi Pro’s Local GUI is a complex device configuration panel used to manage routers and extenders. The legacy interface created friction for users as they navigated multiple device settings, advanced configurations, and status insights.
The challenge was to improve clarity, task flow, and configuration success rates while modernizing the interface and supporting mobile access.
Key Pain Points Identified
- Outdated and visually dense interface
- Limited mobile responsiveness
- Inefficient navigation and task grouping
- Lack of cohesive visual language
- Steep learning curve for non-technical users
