AFter you connect the Orbi router to the ISP modem, turn ON the router and satellite and connect a wired PC to the Orbi router. Using a web browser, navigate to orbilogin.com and begin to walk thru the setup wizard. This will help you get the router and satellite connected.
Also download and review the installation guide from NG support site as well for additional help and information.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router will be connected too?

Hi thanks for your response. Its asking for log in information which cannt be found anywhere. Is there a way to completely reset the whole system? Start as if no one had ever set up before?

Yes, press in the reset button in back of the Orbi router. Hold it until the top of the Orbi router turns AMBER, then let go. The setup wizard should be presented. Be sure to write down important information here for safe keeping.

Is this model# or the wifi SSID?
Look on the sticker on the modem for Model# information. I'm not seeing this particular value listed as a model#

Just says XFSetup there is a Part Number or PN CGM4140COM
If that helps.
I went through the set up now trying to find optimal spot to place the Orbi extender node. After I unplug and take to next location to test do I need to press Sync or will it unpon restart look for the Master device?
I notice a white pulse color on the top then it sometimes turns blue-purple. What color is it when its connected and in idle mode? So far can’t get it to give me any boost. Thanks
