Step 1: Connect Your Orbi RBR20 to the Modem
Unplug your modem.
Connect the Ethernet cable from your modem to the yellow Internet port on the Orbi RBR20 router.
Plug your modem back in and wait for it to boot up.
Plug in your Orbi RBR20 and wait until the power LED turns solid white and then pulses white — indicating it’s ready for setup.

Search for “Orbi App” and download it.
Open the app and sign in or create a Netgear account.

Follow the on-screen instructions to:
Scan the QR code found on the router
Set up your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password

The app will automatically detect and configure your Orbi RBR20.
Step 4: Add Orbi Satellites (Optional)
If you have Orbi satellites:
Place them in areas with weak Wi-Fi coverage.
Power them on and wait for the LED to pulse white.
The satellite should sync with the router automatically.
A solid blue light indicates a strong connection.
An amber light means a fair connection.
Red means the connection failed — try moving the satellite closer to the router.
Step 5: Finalize and Test the Setup
Once everything is configured, the app will confirm the setup.
Connect your devices to the new Wi-Fi network.
Test internet speed and coverage in different parts of your home.
