Overview
The Orbi™ WiFi System creates dedicated high-speed WiFi connections to your Internet
service. The Orbi router connects to your modem or gateway. The Orbi satellite extends
the WiFi signal throughout your home.
This manual describes how to manage your Orbi WiFi System from your Orbi router
web interface. You can manage any add-on Orbi satellite from the Orbi router web
interface.
If you own one of the following add-on Orbi satellites, you can find more information
about your satellite from its user manual, which is available at
https://www.netgear.com/support/:

your Internet service.
If your modem uses a battery backup, remove the battery.
2. Plug in and turn on your modem.
If your modem uses a battery backup, put the battery back in.
User Manual17Overview
Orbi WiFi System
3.
Connect your modem to the Internet port of your router with the yellow Ethernet
cable that came with your router.
The router shown in this is the Orbi router (model RBR50). The same setup applies
to all Orbi routers.
4. Connect the power adapter to your router and plug the power adapter into an outlet.
5.
If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off button on the rear panel
of the router.
Place Your Satellite
If your satellite came with your Orbi WiFi System, the satellite attempts to sync with your
router. If you bought an add-on satellite, you must manually sync your satellite. For more
information, see Sync Your Orbi Satellite on page 22.
Note that your satellites must be within range of your router’s WiFi signal in order for it
to sync with the router. Use each satellite’s ring LED to help you determine where to
place your satellite.
Examples of Placement for One Satellite
The following images are examples of where to place your router and satellite. The
router shown in the following images is the Orbi router model RBR50 and the satellite
shown in the images is the Orbi satellite model RBS50.

Examples of Placement for Multiple Satellites
If you own more than one Orbi satellite, we recommend that you place your router in
the middle of your home with the satellites placed on opposite sides of your home. The
router shown in the following images is the Orbi router model RBR50 and the satellites
shown in the images are the Orbi satellites model RBS50.
If you own multiple Orbi wall plug satellites model RBW30, you might need to place
the satellites closer to the router. Use the satellite ring LED to determine the best
placement for your satellites.

Sync Your Orbi Satellite
The sync process for your satellite depends on whether your satellite came with your
Orbi WiFi System, or if your satellite is an add-on satellite.
Sync a Satellite From an Orbi WiFi System
The Orbi WiFi System includes an Orbi router and either one or two satellites. The
satellite in the WiFi system is preset to automatically find and sync to the WiFi signal
from the Orbi router in the same WiFi system.
To sync your satellite:
1. Place your satellite.
For more information, see Place Your Satellite on page 18.
2. Connect the satellite to a power source.
3.
If the Power LED on the back of the satellite does not light, press the Power On/Off
button.
The satellite ring LED pulses white. The satellite automatically finds the Orbi router’s
WiFi signal and attempts to sync to the Orbi router.
The satellite ring LED lights one of the following colors for about three minutes and
then turns off:
Blue. The Orbi router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection
•
between the router and satellite is good.
Amber. The Orbi router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection
•
between the router and satellite is fair. Consider moving the Orbi satellite closer
to the Orbi router.
Magenta. The Orbi router and satellite failed to sync.
•
4.
If the satellite ring LED is magenta, move the satellite closer to the router and then
sync the satellite to the router:
a.
Press the Sync button on the back of the router.
b.
Within two minutes, press the Sync button on the back of the satellite.
The satellite attempts to sync to the Orbi router. The satellite ring LED lights blue,
amber, or magenta as described in Step 3 of this procedure and then turns off.
5.
Repeat Steps 1–4 if your Orbi WiFi System came with a second satellite.
User Manual22Overview
Orbi WiFi System
Sync an Add-On Satellite
If you already set up an Orbi router and satellite are adding an optional add-on satellite
(sold separately), follow these steps.
To sync your add-on satellite:
1. Place your satellite.
For more information, see Examples of Placement for Multiple Satellites on page
20.
2. Connect the satellite to a power source.
3.
If the Power LED on the back of the satellite does not light, press the Power On/Off
button.
4.
Wait about two minutes for the satellite ring LED to light solid white.
5.
Press the Sync button on the back of the satellite and within two minutes, press the
Sync button on the back of your Orbi router.
The satellite ring LED pulses white, then lights one of the following colors for about
three minutes, and then turns off:
Blue. The Orbi router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection
•
between the router and satellite is good.
Amber. The Orbi router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection
•
between the router and satellite is fair. Consider moving the Orbi satellite closer
to the Orbi router.
Magenta. The Orbi router and satellite failed to sync. Move the satellite closer
•
to the router and try again.
Log In to Your Router and Add Satellites to Your Network
You can use the router web interface to add a satellite to your Orbi network.
To add a satellite to your Orbi network using the router web interface:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
Orbi network.
2.
Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.

and then turns off:
Blue. The Orbi router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection
•
between the router and satellite is good.
Amber. The Orbi router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection

Magenta. The Orbi router and satellite failed to sync. Move the satellite closer
•
to the router and try again.
Set Up an Ethernet Backhaul Connection
Your Orbi satellite automatically connects wirelessly to your Orbi router or another Orbi
satellite to create a wireless backhaul, or you can use an Ethernet cable to connect your
satellite to your router or another satellite to create a wired backhaul connection.
Before you set up an Ethernet backhaul connection, make sure that you update the
firmware on all your Orbi devices.
The following image shows how to connect your Orbi satellites to your Orbi router to
create an Ethernet backhaul connection.
