✓ Prepare For The Setup

First of all collect all the necessary components that you require for the Orbi wifi extender setup. You need an Orbi router, one or more Orbi satellites (extenders), power adapters, and an Ethernet cable. In addition to it you need a smart device and access to electrical sockets. 

✓ Connect Devices

First disconnect your modem from the existing router. Reboot the modem for a new pairing. Thereafter deploy the main Orbi router nearby to the modem. Fetch Ethernet wire. Club it with the yellow port on the router and then with the modem. Next pick the power adapter. Use it to activate the router. Let the router boot up properly. 

✓ Use Orbi App

The simplest way for an Orbi wifi extender setup is using the NETGEAR Orbi App. Download the app from your phone’s App/Play Store. If you already have the access then make sure the App is up-to-date. Now enable wifi on your smart device. Connect to the default Orbi network. The exact details regarding the same are written on the router’s product label. Finally launch the app, create your Netgear account. Now select your Orbi device and just follow the guidance that the app shows you on the screen.

✓ Sync Orbi Satellites

The final step is connecting the extender units. This completes your Orbi WiFi extender setup.

• So start the process by plugging in your Orbi satellites to a power outlet with the help of given power adapters. 
• Thereafter, give the satellites a few minutes to power on. The LED on the satellite will pulse white.
• The satellites should automatically connect to the Orbi router. In case the satellites doesn’t connect automotive then the app will guide you to press the Sync button on each satellite. 
• Now just check the LED color on the satellite: if it’s solid blue or magenta then it means the connection is excellent.
• If it’s solid amber or yellow then it shows a fair connection. Try moving the satellite closer to the router or another satellite.
• Lastly if the satellite’s LED is blinking or there is no light at all then it shows no connection. In that case you need to reposition the satellite more strategically.
