Orbi router.
Note: If you want to connect your Orbi router to an existing gateway, we recommend that
you turn off your existing gateway's WiFi.

lights green. If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off button.
Wait for the Orbi router's ring LED to light white.
2. Place Your Orbi Satellite

2. Place Your Orbi Satellite (Continued)
After the Orbi satellite's ring LED lights white, it lights one of the following colors for about
three minutes and then turns off:
Blue
The connection between the Orbi router and Orbi satellite is good.
Amber
The connection between the Orbi router and Orbi satellite is fair. Consider moving
the Orbi satellite closer to the Orbi router.

closer to the Orbi router.
Note: If the ring LED still lights magenta after about one minute, press the Sync
button on the back of the Orbi router and on the back of the Orbi satellite. If the Orbi
satellite successfully syncs with the Orbi router, the satellite's ring LED lights white
then lights blue to indicate a good connection, and then turns off.
3. Set Up Your Orbi Network
Connect your computer or mobile device to the Orbi router or satellite with an Ethernet or
WiFi connection.
To connect with WiFi, find the preset WiFi network name (SSID) and password on the
label on the Orbi router or satellite and connect to that network from your WiFi‑enabled
computer or mobile device.
Launch a web browser and visit orbilogin.com. If a login window opens, enter the user name
and password. The user name is admin and the default password is password.
Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your Orbi network.
The Orbi router's ring LED turns off after the setup is complete.
