Make sure bluetooth is turned on, on your device you are using to install the Orbi. Go into your device's WIFI network settings and look for the router WIFI and login.

I prefer using the app, as it is so much easier for me. So reset the Orbi router, reboot the modem it is going to connect to, plug in the Orbi and turn it on, load up the Orbi app and perform a new installation. Follow the instructions Verbatum. Once the Orbi router is up and running, follow instructions for the satellites. Once the satellites are up and running, move them to their location.
