Sync an add-on Orbi Pro WiFi 6 satellite

If you already set up an Orbi Pro WiFi 6 router and satellite and are you adding an
optional add-on Orbi Pro WiFi 6 satellite (sold separately), follow these steps.
Note: When you purchase an Orbi Pro WiFi 6 satellite separately from the Orbi Pro
WiFi 6 router, the satellite has a different WiFi network name and password. However,
after syncing the add-on satellite with the router, the satellite uses the same WiFi network
name and password as the router.
To sync your add-on Orbi Pro WiFi 6 satellite:
1. Place your satellite.
For more information, see Place your Orbi Pro WiFi 6 satellite on page 19.
2. Connect the satellite to a power source.
3. Wait about two minutes for the satellite bar LED to light solid white.
4. Press the Sync button on the back of the satellite and within two minutes, press the
Sync button on the back of your Orbi WiFi 6 router.
