Orbi Pro Ceiling Satellite • Solid white. The satellite finished booting and is ready to sync with your router. 4. Press the Sync button on the back of your satellite, and within two minutes, press the Sync button on the back of your router.
If the Power LED is blinking red, the firmware is corrupted. Reset the satellite to factory defaults (see Reset the satellite to factory defaults on page 28) to see if that resolves the situation. If it does not, contact NETGEAR support. For more information, visit https://www.netgear.com/support/.
Orbi Pro Ceiling Satellite • The PoE power budget of the 802.3at (PoE+) switch might be oversubscribed. Disconnect some other PoE devices from the switch to see if the satellite Power LED turns solid green. • Use a lower-numbered PoE port on the switch. For example, if the satellite is connected to PoE port 8, connect the satellite to PoE port 1.
