9. Press the Sync button on the satellite.
The satellite’s bar LED pulses white.
10. Click the SYNC button in the router web interface.
The router attempts to sync with the satellite.
The satellite’s bar LED lights one of the following colors for about three minutes and
then turns off:
•
Blue. The router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection between
the router and satellite is good.
•
Amber. The router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection between
the router and satellite is fair. Consider moving the satellite closer to the router.
•
Magenta. The router and satellite failed to sync. Move the satellite closer to the
router and try again.
Note: The first time that you sync the satellite and the router, the sync process can
take up to five minutes because the router might automatically update the satellite’s
firmware.
Set up your satellite with a wired connection
to your router
Instead of using a WiFi backhaul connection between the router and the satellite, you
can use a wired connection.
Set up and sync an Orbi Pro satellite over a wired
connection
In some situations, you might prefer to set up your Orbi Pro satellite with an Ethernet
cable directly connected to your Orbi Pro router.
If your business has built-in Ethernet outlets in the office rooms and the cables lead into
the same physical network, you can also connect both your Orbi Pro router and Orbi
Pro satellite to the Ethernet outlets and let them sync.
To set up and sync your Orbi Pro satellite over a wired connection:
1. Place your satellite in the room where you want WiFi service.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports.
