Sync an add-on Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 satellite
If you already set up an Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 router and satellite and you are adding
an optional add-on Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 satellite (sold separately), follow the steps
in this section.
Note: When you purchase an Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 satellite separately from the
Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 router, the satellite has a different WiFi network name and
password. However, after syncing the add-on satellite with the router, the satellite uses
the same WiFi network name and password as the router.
To sync your add-on Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 satellite:
1. Place your satellite.
For more information, see Place your Orbi Pro WiFi 6 AX5400 satellite on page 16.
2. Connect the satellite to a power source.
The power LED on the back of the satellite lights green.
3. Wait about two minutes for the satellite bar LED to light solid white.
4. Press the Sync button on the back of the satellite and within two minutes, press the
Sync button on the back of your Orbi WiFi 6 AX5400 router.
The satellite bar LED pulses white, then 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.
