Place a Satellite From an Orbi Kit

The Orbi kit includes an Orbi router and a satellite. The satellite in the kit is preset to
automatically find and sync to the WiFi signal from the Orbi router in the same kit.
To place your satellite:

1. Place the satellite in the middle of your house.
This location delivers the best WiFi coverage.
2. Connect the satellite to a power source.
3. If the Power LED on the back of the satellite does not light, press the Power On/Off button.
The satellite ring LED pulses white. The satellite automatically finds the Orbi router's WiFi
signal and attempts to sync to the Orbi router.
The satellite ring LED lights one of the following colors for about three minutes and then
turns off:
• Blue. The Orbi router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection between
the router and satellite is good.
• Amber. The Orbi router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection
between the router and satellite is fair. Consider moving the Orbi satellite closer to the
Orbi router.
• Magenta. The Orbi router and satellite failed to sync.
4. If the satellite ring LED is magenta, move the satellite closer to the router and then sync the
satellite to the router:
a. Press the Sync button on the back of the router.
b. Within two minutes, press the Sync button on the back of the satellite.
The satellite attempts to sync to the Orbi router. The satellite ring LED lights blue, amber,
or magenta as described in Step 3 of this procedure and then turns off.
