Manually Sync Your Satellite Before You Install It
Place your Orbi Pro router and Orbi satellite near each other during the syncing process. After your router and satellite are synced, mount
the satellite.
1.
Place your Orbi satellite in an area near your Orbi Pro router.
2.
Connect your satellite to a power source.
Either connect the power adapter to the satellite and to a power source or connect PoE+ LAN port 1 on the satellite to an Ethernet
cable and to a Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) switch that can provide 802.3at (PoE+) power.
The Power LED on the top panel of the Orbi satellite lights solid green.
Note:
If the Power LED does not light, check the power source or the PoE+ switch. If the Power LED lights red, the power is not at the
required 802.3at (PoE+) level. Make sure that you use an 802.3at (PoE+) switch and not an 802.af (PoE) switch. For more information
about the Power LED, see the user manual, which you can download by visiting
https://www.netgear.com/support/download/
.
