Does that pesky issue of your Orbi satellite refusing to work come about? In reality, any sort of technology can have a glitch, even though Orbi mesh setups are really great on performance. If you are wondering about solutions when noticing your satellite went offline, then here is a quick guide.

Why is my Orbi satellite not working?

There are various causes that may lead your Orbi satellite to cut out from the main router:

·         Poor Signal Strength: If the satellite is too far away from the main Orbi network, it may lose communication.

·         Firmware Issues: Outdated firmware might cause connectivity problems.

·         Power Interruption: Due to power fluctuations or outages, the satellite may reboot or fail to reconnect.

·         Problems with Sync: Sometimes the router and satellite are out of sync due to interference or setup errors.

How to Fix the Offline Issue with Orbi Satellite

To get your Orbi satellite operating again online, you can do the following:

Check the Position

·         Verify that your satellite can be reached by the Orbi router. Try moving it closer to check how strong the signal is on the LED light if it's too far away.

Rebooting the System

·         Unplug the router and satellite. After 10 seconds, plug them in again. Often, a simple reset solves the connectivity problem.

Manually Align Satellite

·         Press the Sync button for the router and satellite. Once the LED is solid blue, the connection is all set.

Update the Firmware

·         Log in to your Orbi system at orbilogin.com. Navigate to the Firmware Update area, and make sure the router and satellite have the most recent installation.

Reset Orbi Router

·         When nothing else works, surely, the Orbi router will require a factory reset. Hold the reset button on the router for about 10 seconds. After the system resets itself, you will have to start again using www.orbilogin.com.

With the above steps, you can easily fix your Orbi Satellite offline problem in no time. From then on, keeping firmware upgrades and proper device placement can save you from more trouble.
