Manage the Orbi Outdoor Satellite LED
lighting
If you own an Orbi Outdoor Satellite, you can turn its LED lighting on or off, adjust the
LED brightness, or schedule when to turn on the light. You can also enable or disable
the satellite's Sync button.
Enable the Sync button
After your satellite syncs with your router, the satellite’s Sync button is disabled for
security reasons. If you press the Sync button and the satellite’s bottom Light LED pulses
magenta, this LED behavior indicates that the Sync button is disabled. To enable the
Sync button, log in to the router and go to the Attached Devices page.
After syncing your satellite and placing your satellite outdoors, we recommend that you
disable the Sync button to prevent an unauthorized user from connecting to your
satellite.
To enable your satellite’s Sync button using the router web interface:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
Orbi network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.
