Orbi Re-Installation

I had a lot of trouble getting the orbi and satellite set up initially.  I now need to power down and relocate the satellite and disconnect the cable feed to the modem upstream of the router.

 

Questions:

1. Will the disconnection of the satellite require re-doing the setup as a new install?

2. Should I power down the the orbi when I disconnect the cable from the feed and/or will this also require re-doing the setup as a new install?

    Hello rickcandle87

     

    After setup they should just pair back up when powered on only way you would have to do set up again is if the units got factory reset.

    Hello Rhoadesusa 

     

    You will need to factory reset by holding the reset button on the back for 10 seconds.
