Enable the Sync Button
After your satellite syncs with your router, the satellite's Sync button is disabled for security reasons. If you
press the Sync button and the satellite's bottom Light LED pulses magenta, this LED behavior indicates
that the Sync button is disabled. To enable the Sync button, log in to the router and go to the Attached
Devices page.
After syncing your satellite and placing your satellite outdoors, we recommend that you disable the Sync
