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 16.
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
