Setup and Installation my Orbi WiFi Range Extender

Setting up and installing an Orbi Satellite Extender involves the following steps:

• Unbox the Orbi Satellite Extender and gather all the necessary components.
• Choose a location for the extender that is within the range of your existing Wi-Fi router but far enough to extend the coverage area. It should be placed in an area where it can receive a strong signal from the router.
• Plug in the Orbi Satellite Extender into a power outlet and wait for it to power up. The LED lights on the extender will indicate its status.
• On your computer or mobile device, connect to the Wi-Fi network named “Orbi” or “Orbi_EXT.” This network is created by the extender for initial setup purposes.
• Open a web browser and enter “orbilogin.com” or “192.168.1.1” in the address bar. This will take you to the Orbi web interface.
• If prompted, enter the default login credentials. The default username is usually “admin,” and the default password is usually “password.” Note that these may have been changed if you have previously set up an Orbi device.

1. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Orbi Satellite Extender. This typically involves connecting the extender to your existing Wi-Fi network and creating a new Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password for the extended network.
2. Once the setup process is complete, the Orbi Satellite Extender will reboot and start providing extended Wi-Fi coverage. You can now connect your devices to the extended network.
3. You may need to move the extender to a different location if the signal strength is not satisfactory. Experiment with different placements to find the optimal position for the best coverage.
4. You can also manage and customize your Orbi Satellite Extender settings through the Orbi web interface or the Orbi mobile app, which provides additional features and controls.

• Once the setup is complete, the extender will reboot, and you will be prompted to reconnect your devices to the extended WiFi network. Use the same network name and password as your existing WiFi network.
• Test the WiFi signal in the previously weak or dead zones to ensure that the extender is providing the desired coverage and improved connectivity.
