Setup Orbi WiFi 7 Mesh System

Phase 1

Now that you have become aware of the LED lights and their statuses, walk through the instructions mentioned in this section and learn how to do Orbi setup:

• Start the process by powering down the modem but leaving it plugged.
• After waiting for some time, it is recommended that you power on the modem.
• Connect the modem to the port on the router as the next step.

• This can be done with the assistance of a cable.
• In case the package came with an adapter, connect it to the router.
• Then, plug the power adapter into a socket and ensure that it is not short-circuited.

In case the power LED light does not light, ensure that you have tightly connected it to the wall socket. Now, continue reading and go to the second phase of the setup process.

Phase 2

The next phase of Orbi WiFi 7 setup includes the setup of the ORBI SATELLITE without which setting up a Netgear Orbi router is more or less a waste of time.

• Place the satellite and ensure that you are doing so near the router.
• Connect the satellite to a wall socket and ensure that the LED on its pulses WHITE.
• Link the satellite to the host device by pressing the button named sync.

• The order in which this gets done is not a worrisome thing.
• You can also SYNC the NETGEAR ORBI DEVICES with a wire if you want.
• Soon the LED LIGHT will become BLUE in color.

In case the LED light does not flash the required color, it is recommended that you sync the Netgear Orbi devices once again following the same instructions to achieve success.

Phase 3

This phase has shed light on the connection between the computer and the Netgear Orbi WiFi 7 router and how accessing the web user interface is possible:

• Get a cable and link the client device and the Orbi.
• For a wireless connection, locate the SSID, enter the PASSWORD, and hit CONNECT.
• Load a browser and insert the ORBI LOGIN address in the bar on the top.

• Pressing the ENTER key will land you on the next screen.
• It is called the WELCOME TO ORBI page.
• Go through the on-screen instructions mentioned here to finish the setup process.

As soon as you have completed the Orbi WiFi 7 setup process, you need to update the firmware of the Orbi device using the ORBI APP to the latest version.

If you read the instructions given in the user manual, there is no chance of failing, still if you do, then consider resetting the networking device to the default factory mode. For this, you need to first, locate the button by the same name as the process, press it using an oil pin, and hold on for some time. Soon your networking device will get restart on its own.
