An Orbi satellite is an extension device that works with an Orbi router to create a mesh WiFi network. It helps to expand WiFi coverage in areas where the main Orbi router signal is weak or unreachable. It ensures the strong and consistent internet access throughout a larger home.
How Orbi Satellite Works?
Mesh Network
·
Orbi satellites communicate
with the main Orbi router to form a combined network.
·
Devices connected to your WiFi
will automatically switch between the router and satellites as you move through
your home.
·
It ensures uninterrupted
connectivity without switching networks manually.
Wireless Extension
·
By placing satellites in
different locations around your home, you can vanish WiFi dead zones.
·
Each satellite enhances the
signal to cover larger areas.
Easy Setup
·
Most Orbi satellites are
designed for easy installation through the Orbi app, where you can add, manage,
and monitor the performance of your satellites.

a new Orbi system, changing routers, or replacing a faulty satellite
Factory Resetting
You may need to remove and re-add the satellite again, If you are performing a
factory reset to resolve issues
Overlapping Signals
If your network already has sufficient coverage and one of the satellites is
placed too close to others, it could cause interference and degrade network
performance. Removing the extra satellite in such cases can help.
Here, we go through why do need to remove
Orbi Satellite and now further moving on we will discuss how we can remove Orbi
Satellite.
How To Remove Orbi Satellite?

interface, as the app might not allow you to remove it directly, if it is not
powered on
And this is how you
remove Orbi Satellite from web interface.
