Moving a satilite router

if i unplug a satillite router and move it, will it auto pair back up with the main router? or do I need to go thru the pairing steps?

As long as the satellite is close enough to the router (or another satellite if using Daisy Chaining) for its backhaul WiFi signal, then it will automatically reconnect.  Watch the LED circle light on the satellite to show blue once connected.  You can also check the app or web interface for the satellite status.

30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
