To set up your Orbi Outdoor Satellite in Extender or Satellite Mode:
- Place your satellite near your router.
Note: This placement is for the setup process. After the setup is complete, you can place your Orbi satellite outdoors. - Connect your satellite to a power source, but don’t turn your satellite on.
If your satellite powers on, press the Power On/Off button to turn it off.
Press and hold the Sync button. - While holding the Sync button, press and release the Power On/Off button.
Your satellite powers on.
Note: Continue to hold the Sync button. If you released the Sync button early, make sure that your satellite is powered off and then repeat Steps 3-4.
After you release the Sync button, the following LED behavior occurs:
Wait for the bottom Light LED to pulse white and blue, then release the Sync button.- Pulsing blue. Your satellite is starting up and changing from Orbi Mode to Extender Mode. The LED pulses blue for a few minutes.
- Solid blue. Your satellite is in Extender Mode and is ready to sync with your non-Orbi router.
- Pulsing white. Your satellite is starting up and changing from Orbi Mode to Satellite Mode. The LED pulses blue for a few minutes.
- Solid white. Your satellite is in Satellite Mode and is ready to sync with your non-Orbi router.
