These instructions will guide you through connecting your NETGEAR Orbi Wi-Fi 6 router to the internet. Looking for instructions to set up extra Orbi satellites instead? We've got you.

It's super easy to set up, so let's get started!

Step 1: Get the Orbi app

Download the Orbi app on your mobile device. It's available on the App Store and Google Play.

Step 2: Connect your Orbi router

1. Connect the Ethernet cable to your Orbi’s Internet port, then connect the other end to the port labelled LAN1 or GE1 on your Optical Network Terminal – that’s the fibre box usually found on your wall.
2. Connect the power adapter and turn your Orbi on at the wall.

Got extra Orbi satellites? Find a place to plug them in now, or you can set them up later. Orbi satellites must be within range of your Orbi router’s Wi-Fi signal, so don’t place them too far apart from each other.

If you have a landline, connect it to the port labelled POTS or TEL on your Optical Network Terminal.

Step 3: Connect to your Orbi Wi-Fi network

1. Go to the Wi-Fi settings on your mobile device.
2. Connect to your Orbi Wi-Fi network. You’ll find the Wi-Fi network name and password printed on the front of your Orbi router.

It may take a few minutes for your network to appear after plugging in your Orbi.

Step 4: Complete setup in the Orbi app

Open the Orbi app and follow the setup instructions.

Important: Skip the steps instructing you to disconnect and reconnect your ISP modem. These steps don’t apply – just select ‘Continue’.

That's it, your Orbi router is up and running!
