We recommend connecting directly to the cable wall outlet. If you must share the connection, use a 3.5dB (1 to 2) splitter.

Orbi Satellite LEDs

The satellite’s ring LED lights white while the satellite attempts to sync with the cable modem router. Then the ring LED lights one of the following colors for about three minutes and then turns off:

Blue. The cable modem router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection between the cable modem router and satellite is good.
Amber. The cable modem router and satellite successfully synced, and the connection between the cable modem router and satellite is fair.
Consider moving the satellite closer to the cable modem router.
Magenta. The cable modem router and satellite failed to sync. Move the satellite closer to the cable modem router and try again.

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