Orbi satellites are key components of the Orbi mesh Wi-Fi system, available both individually and as part of a complete system. In this guide, you'll learn how to sync an Orbi satellite to your home router and configure it using the Orbi login portal.

Syncing Your Orbi Satellite with the Home Router

There are two primary ways to sync your Orbi satellite with the router: wirelessly or using an Ethernet backhaul.

Method 1: Using the Sync Button


  • Power on the Orbi satellite and place it in your desired location.

  • Press the Sync button on your router.

  • Within two minutes, press the Sync button on the satellite.

  • Wait a few moments for the devices to connect.


Method 2: Ethernet Backhaul Connection

  • Use an Ethernet cable to connect the satellite directly to the router.

  • One end of the cable goes into the LAN port on the router.

  • The other end connects to the Ethernet port on the satellite.

  • If you're setting up multiple satellites, each will need its own Ethernet connection.


Note: If you notice a purple light on the Orbi satellite, it may indicate a sync issue. In that case, try rebooting or resetting both the router and satellite.

Configuring Orbi Satellites

You can configure your Orbi satellites using two main methods: through the Orbi mobile app or the web-based interface.

Option 1: Using the Orbi App

  • Download the Orbi app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

  • Launch the app and sign in using the router's login credentials.

  • Tap the Add (+) icon and select Add Satellite.

  • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.


Option 2: Using the Orbi Web Interface

Connect your computer to the Orbi network via a LAN cable.

  • Open a web browser and enter one of the following into the address bar:

  • orbilogin.com

  • orbilogin.net

  • 192.168.1.1

  • Press Enter to access the login page.
