Sync your Orbi satellite with your Orbi router

The Orbi satellite that comes with your Orbi router is preset to automatically find and
sync to your Orbi router's WiFi signal.
To sync your satellite:
1. Place your satellite.
For more information, see Place your Orbi satellite on page 14.
2. Connect the satellite to a power source.
The satellite LED pulses white. The satellite automatically finds the Orbi router's WiFi
signal and attempts to sync to the Orbi router.

between the router and satellite is good.

the Orbi satellite closer to the Orbi router and try again.
