can use the NETGEAR Orbi app or a web browser.
NETGEAR Orbi App Setup
1. Scan a QR code or search for NETGEAR Orbi in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
2. Download and launch the NETGEAR Orbi app on your mobile device and follow the prompts.
Orbi Pro Satellite Ring LED Sync Colors
The Orbi Pro satellite's ring LED lights white while the satellite attempts to sync with the Orbi
Pro router. After the Orbi Pro 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 Pro router and Orbi Pro satellite is good.
Amber
The connection between the Orbi Pro router and Orbi Pro satellite is fair. Consider moving
the Orbi Pro satellite closer to the Orbi Pro router.
Magenta
The Orbi Pro satellite was unable to connect to the Orbi Pro router. Move the Orbi Pro
satellite closer to the Orbi Pro router.
Note: If the ring LED still lights magenta after about one minute, press the Sync button
on the back of the Orbi Pro router and on the back of the Orbi Pro satellite. When the
Orbi Pro satellite syncs with the Orbi Pro router, the satellite's ring LED lights white, then
lights blue to indicate a good connection, and then turns off.
Web Browser Setup
1. Unplug your modem, remove and reinsert the backup battery if it uses one, and plug the
modem back in.
2. Use an Ethernet cable to connect your modem to the yellow Internet port on your Orbi Pro
router.

that you turn off your existing gateway's WiFi.
