How to Install Netgear Orbi RBE770

• Position the Orbi RBE770 satellite within range of your existing Orbi router or primary node to ensure a strong initial connection. Avoid placing it behind furniture or inside cabinets where signal can be blocked.
• Power on the satellite and launch the Orbi app on your smartphone or tablet. Select Add Satellite and follow the on-screen prompts to begin pairing with your current Orbi network.
• If you have a reliable wired path to the router, use the 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port to establish a wired backhaul for maximum throughput. This is especially beneficial in homes with heavy wireless interference or many high-demand devices.
• Place the satellite in a central, elevated location for optimal coverage. A good rule of thumb is to position it 30–50 feet from the main router, ensuring a strong signal while minimizing dead zones.
• After setup, run a quick speed test in the Orbi app and adjust placement if necessary. Enable features like guest networks, parental controls, and security settings to tailor the network to your household needs.
