🔹 3. Network settings misconfigured (SSID, password, etc.)

🛠️ How to Fix Orbi Not Connecting to WiFi
Follow these proven troubleshooting steps in order:
✅ 1. Reboot All Network Devices
Often, a simple reboot can fix the issue.
Power off your Orbi router, satellites, modem, and all connected devices (phones, laptops, etc.).
Wait for 1–2 minutes.
Power on the modem first and wait for it to fully boot.
Then power on the Orbi router, followed by any satellites.
Finally, turn on your WiFi-enabled devices and try reconnecting.
🔌 2. Check the Internet Connection
Make sure the modem is providing a working internet connection.
Connect a device directly to the modem via Ethernet to test.
If there’s no internet from the modem, contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
📡 3. Verify WiFi Settings in the Orbi App
Open the Orbi app or visit http://orbilogin.com.
Log in using your Netgear account.
Go to WiFi Settings and confirm:
SSID (WiFi name) is visible
Password is correct
Toggle the WiFi off and on again on your device and reconnect.
💡 You can also try forgetting the network on your phone or laptop and re-adding it manually.
🔄 4. Sync the Satellite (If Not Connecting Through It)
If the device is near an Orbi satellite and not getting a signal:
Move the satellite closer to the router.
Press the Sync button on the router.
Within 2 minutes, press Sync on the satellite.
Wait for the LED to turn blue (good connection) or amber (fair).
⬇️ 5. Update Orbi Firmware
Outdated firmware can break WiFi connectivity.
Go to Settings > Firmware Update in the Orbi app
Or visit: http://orbilogin.com
Click Check for Updates and install if available
🧼 6. Reset Your Orbi System (If Nothing Else Works)
A factory reset can resolve deeper issues but should be a last resort:
Find the reset pinhole on the back of the Orbi router and satellite.
Press and hold the button using a paperclip for 10–15 seconds until the LED blinks amber or white.
Wait for the device to reboot.
Reconfigure your network using the Orbi app.
⚠️ Note: This will erase all saved settings, including WiFi name and password.
