Sync Your Orbi Satellite

The sync process for your satellite depends on whether your satellite came with your Orbi WiFi System, or
if your satellite is an add-on satellite.

Sync a Satellite From an Orbi WiFi System

The Orbi WiFi System includes an Orbi router and either one or two satellites. The satellite in the WiFi
system is preset to automatically find and sync to the WiFi signal from the Orbi router in the same WiFi
system.
To sync your satellite:
1. Place your satellite.
For more information, see
2. Connect the satellite to a power source.
3. If the Power LED on the back of the satellite does not light, press the Power On/Off button.
The satellite ring LED pulses white. The satellite automatically finds the Orbi router's WiFi signal and
attempts to sync to the Orbi router.
The satellite ring LED lights one of the following colors for about three minutes and then turns off:
• Blue. The Orbi router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection between the router and
satellite is good.
• Amber. The Orbi router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection between the router
and satellite is fair. Consider moving the Orbi satellite closer to the Orbi router.
• Magenta. The Orbi router and satellite failed to sync.
4. If the satellite ring LED is magenta, move the satellite closer to the router and then sync the satellite to
the router:
a. Press the Sync button on the back of the router.
b. Within two minutes, press the Sync button on the back of the satellite.
The satellite attempts to sync to the Orbi router. The satellite ring LED lights blue, amber, or magenta
as described in Step 3 of this procedure and then turns off.
5. Repeat Steps 1–4 if your Orbi WiFi System came with a second satellite.

Sync an Add-On Satellite

If you already set up an Orbi router and satellite are adding an optional add-on satellite (sold separately),
follow these steps.
