Sync Your Orbi Satellite; Sync A Satellite From An Orbi Wifi System - NETGEAR RBK20 User Manual

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 Place Your Satellite on page 18.
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.
