Satellite Sync LED Colors

After the satellites are powered on, each satellite’s ring LED lights are white while the satellite attempts to sync with the router. Then the ring LED lights one of the following colors for about three minutes and then turns off:

• Blue
  The connection between the satellite and router is good.

• Amber
  The connection between the satellite and router is fair. Consider moving the satellite closer to the router.

• Magenta
  The satellite failed to sync with the router. Move the satellite closer to the router.

Note: If the ring LED still lights magenta after about one minute, press the Sync button on the router and on the satellite. If the satellite successfully syncs with the router, the satellite’s ring LED lights are white. Then the ring LED lights blue to indicate a good connection and then turns off.
