Interpreting the Orbi Satellite LED Colours

After pressing the Sync button, observe the LED indicator on your Orbi satellite. The colour of the LED will tell you the status of the sync process:

• Solid Amber (Orange): This indicates that the router and satellite are too far apart. Try placing them closer together.
• Solid Magenta (Pink): If the LED remains solid magenta for 90-180 seconds, the sync process has failed.
• Solid Blue: If the LED is solid blue for 90-180 seconds, the router and satellite have successfully synced.

See the following for information on the hardware of your Orbi Voice:
