Step 1: Connect the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 router
The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 router (model SXR80) can be used alone, or supports up to six satellites.
The back of the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 router has one yellow WAN port and four LAN ports. The label on the router displays
model SXR80, and the preset WiFi network name (SSID) and password.
1. To set up a WiFi network with Internet, the router must connect to a modem or a gateway that provides Internet.
• If you use a modem, unplug the modem, remove and then reinsert the backup battery if it uses one, and plug the
modem back in.
• If you use a gateway, we recommend that you turn off your gateway’s WiFi.
2. Use an Ethernet cable to connect your modem or gateway to the yellow WAN port on the back of your Orbi Pro

3. Connect the router to a power source.
The Power LED on the back of the router lights green.
4. When the bar LED on the front of the router lights solid white, the router’s preset WiFi network is ready for setup.
The router’s bar LED turns off after about three minutes.
Note: The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 router cannot support or pair with Orbi Home satellites or Orbi Pro WiFi 5 satellites.
Step 2: Connect an Orbi Pro WiFi 6 satellite from a kit (optional)
If you purchased an Orbi Pro WiFi 6 router with a satellite as a kit, the satellite is already paired with the router. If you
purchased a satellite separately, see
Step 4. Sync an add-on satellite to the router (optional).
1. Place the satellite approximately 10 ft. away from the router, facing the router, with a direct line of sight.
2. Connect the satellite to a power source.
The Power LED on the back of the satellite lights green.
The Bar LED on the front of the satellite pulses white while booting up.
3. When the bar LED on the satellite lights blue, the connection between the router and satellite is good.
If the bar LED lights amber or magenta, see
Satellite bar LED sync information.
Note: The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 satellite cannot pair with the Orbi Home routers or the Orbi Pro WiFi 5 router.
