After the Orbi satellite's ring LED lights magenta, it lights one of the following colors for
10 seconds and then turns off:
Blue
The connection between the
Orbi router and Orbi satellite
is good.
Note: If the Orbi satellite's ring LED still lights magenta after about one minute, and you
already moved the Orbi satellite closer to the Orbi router, press the Sync button on the
back of the Orbi router and on the back of the Orbi satellite.
If the Orbi satellite successfully syncs with the Orbi router, the Orbi satellite's ring LED lights
white, then lights blue to indicate a good connection, and then turns off.

3. Connect to the Internet

Connect your computer or mobile device to the Orbi router or satellite with an Ethernet or
WiFi connection.
To connect with WiFi, find the preset WiFi network name (SSID) and password on the
label on the Orbi router or satellite and connect to that network from your WiFi‑enabled
computer or mobile device.
Visit http://orbilogin.com and follow the onscreen instructions to set up your Orbi network.
The Orbi router's ring LED turns off after the setup is complete.
