To get the maximum benefit from your Netgear Orbi setup, the first step is to connect the router and satellites correctly. Start by taking your Orbi devices out of the box and plugging the router into a nearby power source next to your modem. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the router to the modem and wait until the LED light turns solid white or blue, signifying that a stable connection has been established. After that, set your Orbi satellites in various places around the house for very good signal coverage—ideally where they can still get the signal from the main router. Turn them on and wait for the LED light to go blue, which means that the connection is strong. You can also employ the **Orbi app** to link the satellites together and keep track of their status. With your Netgear Orbi setup ready, you will have WiFi that is everywhere in your house and with no dead zones. For optimal performance, altijd keep the firmware updated and place the satellites at least a few feet away from walls or metallic objects.
