How to sync your Orbi router and satellites

In this video, we will show you how to sync your Orbi router and satellites.

To begin, make sure that the router and satellite are receiving power.
Then, press the Sync button on the back of the router. You will notice that the ring LEDs will light up. This means that for the next 2 minutes your Orbi router is ready to receive a satellite.
Within these two minutes, press the sync button on an Orbi satellite.
The satellite ring LED will begin to pulse with a white light.
This will go on or about a minute and a half... after which, the satellite will show one of the following colors on the LED ring.

Solid Amber. If this is the case, we recommend getting your Orbi router and satellite closer to each other to avoid slow communication between router and satellite.

Solid magenta. If the LED rings are solid magenta for three minutes, your router and satellite failed to sync.
They may be too far apart, there may be too many obstacles between them, or there may be some other problem. Try finding a better location for the satellite or the router and try again.

Solid blue. If the LED rings are solid blue for three minutes, your router and satellite are successfully synced.

If you need to sync additional satellites to the router, repeat these steps for each one of satellites, one at a time.

I was so mad because it didn’t work and now it’s working I love u

[imthegrayman]

Every time I try and set it up. It blinks white and then stops. No colors at all

[pamelabear]

Why is my connection to the satellite so poor when I am sitting right next to it?

[ashfamilyvideos]

My Orbi RBR40 is working fine. Question…is there a point where it needs to be upgraded even though there’s no issues with it?

[SergiiStarodubtsev]

in my case it is white color, blinking, no way to connect them,

[chriskaprys]

I had an OK setup when I first plugged everything in, but I've been trying to position the router and satellites differently for optimal performance. Now when I connect my second satellite it only connects to the first satellite on the 2.4 GHz band, even though the first satellite is completely on the far opposite side of the house and the router is in the centre. How can I get a satellite to sync to the router and not the other satellite?

[Rainbow__cookie]

can i do this if i have a off grid house in the middle of nowhere and connct to my orbi router at home

[cape]

after I sync and satillite turns solid Blue, does it then turn light off all together? Also does main ORBI also lights go off? As it seems as though they are synced-Bob

[markrodgers]

Netgear says both “hit sync on router first” and “hit sync on satellite first”. Does it matter?

[wahsang]

I have unplug the satellite and replug at another location. It turns blue for 1 min but finally become static purple, still the same results after reset few times. the network map shows both routerscare disconnected from the master. Pls advise, thanks

Satellite is solid magenta when they are literally 3 inches from each other. Any thoughts?

[mele]

Hello . Can I combine older orbi satellites with newer orbi mesh systems? Thanks

[bobkelly]

I am trying to add RBS20 to SRK60 router and satellite. Router and RBS20 led lights flash white while trying to connect; then the message is "satellite not found" and there is no colour at all; led ring is dark; not white, not blue, not amber, not magenta.... question: does the RBS20 even work with the SRK60?

[MrModerate_kane]

i got this issue now, it jsut stopped working on the satelite, so i reset it, still nothing, am connected to the main router instead. I pressed the button and i get it going white to search, but then nothing, no red, no blue. So i will keep trying tonight., its very odd. I can see on the APP the main and its listing the satelites but showing it red. Annoying as i had this in the past and just reset all and it came up ok.

[plate]

Hey I subbed, idk why, but I decided why not

[xsparkxxixchi-rhox]

I need help to I tryed come ting them but only one got connected

[strikeoutking]

what if the satellite syncs up correctly but the router does not?

[tomleith]

Bought this a couple of days ago and 1 of the satellites would not connect. Tried customer support chat for 2 hrs trying to get it to work then ended up returning it.

[MAOGamerz]

Nothing happens it dosent show any colour except white

[dondao]

All the Colors are fine and it shows everything is fine but it doesn't work (the internet)
