Essential Prep

A little preparation beforehand for the setup can save time as well as unnecessary hassle. So here’s what you need:

First a modem with an internet plan. 
• Next up, your Orbi router and its satellites as well as their respective power adapters. 
• Then you need Ethernet wire. 
• A smart device. 
• Access to the Orbi App. 
• Vacant power outlets for activating the mesh system and satellites. 

Make sure you detach the old router from your modem and then reboot the modem for pairing the new Orbi system. For rebooting you just need to follow four simple steps. These are: power off, unplug, wait for 30 seconds and repower. 

Step-By-Step Installation 

For installation of the Orbi mesh system we’ll be using the Orbi app as it is quite convenient and hassle-free. 

✓ Connect The Orbi Router

Firstly place the Orbi router in the center of your abode. This will lead to uniform transmission of signals. Now pick up Ethernet wire. Club it with the modem and then club the other end of the wire to the internet port of the Orbi router. Thereafter, pick up the power adapter and with its help activate the Orbi router. As you activate it, the LED light will pulse, so it means it is undergoing a booting process. Thus you need to hold on for a few seconds and let the LED light turn steady. 

✓ Launch The Orbi App

Once the hardware is all connected and active, take your smart device and on it open the Orbi app. After logging into the app, tap on the Setup a New System option. As you do so, the app will ask you to scan the code which is there on the base of the Orbi router. Do so and now the app will start providing you with further setup prompts one by one. All you need to do is follow the same precisely and errorlessly. 

✓ Sync The Orbi Satellites

Now for syncing the satellites with the main Orbi unit, you first have to place them strategically throughout the abode. Keep them within the reach of the router otherwise the sync will not take place. So ideally you must keep the satellite in between the router and the wifi dead zone. Additionally you can keep the satellite in between the other satellite and the wifi dead zone. Thereafter, with the help of their respective power adapters, power them on and let them show a stable white light. Now the app will automatically detect the satellite and will pair them up with the router. As the syncing completes, you’ll see a bright blue light on the satellites. 

✓ Create Your New Network 

Finally, you now get to personalize the network details that is its SSID and the password. Keep the password complex and for this mix up alphabets with letters and special characters and for more complexity use different letter cases. And with that it’s a wrap. You now know How To Set Up Orbi Whole Home Wifi System successfully. Your new, seamless mesh network is ready.
