NOTE: The first time that you sync the satellite and the router, the sync
process can take between five and ten minutes because the router might
automatically update the satellite’s firmware.
After the sync process is complete, the satellite LED lights blue for about three
minutes and then turns off. Blue indicates that the router and satellite successfully
synced and the wired connection between the router and satellite is good.
Ethernet backhaul connections for multiple satellites
Your Orbi satellite automatically connects over WiFi to your Orbi router or another Orbi
satellite to create a WiFi backhaul connection, or you can use an Ethernet cable to
connect your satellite to your router or another satellite to create a wired backhaul
connection.
NOTE: The products shown in the following diagrams do not represent any
particular Orbi models, but the topologies and setups in the diagrams do apply
to your model.
The following figure shows how to connect your Orbi satellites to your Orbi router using
a star topology to create an Ethernet backhaul connection.
