In the Orbi pro SRK60 mesh WiFi system content package, you will get to see one router of SRR60 model and satellites of SRS60 model. These devices will connect with each other and will provide whole new level of internet coverage in your house.

Here, you will get to know about how to complete the Orbi SRK60 setup by cabling the SRR60 router with modem and syncing the SRS60 satellite.

At the end of the post, you will get to learn about how to troubleshoot different technical issues one by one.

Orbi Pro SRK60 Setup

Orbi Router Link with Modem

Cut the power on the modem and Orbi. Plug out all the cables. Plug the coax cable back in (if applicable) and power it up. Wait until all the lights are solid — especially “online”. Usually takes 1-2 mins.

Use the yellow port on the Orbi router base and plug it straight into the modem. Use Ethernet cable for the connection.

Give it about 2-3 minutes to boot. Wait for the ring to go solid blue — that means it linked. If it turns amber or magenta and stays there? Check the connection or reset it.

Orbi Satellite Sync

Plug the satellite into power. Wait for the ring light to come on. It’ll blink white for a bit while it boots up.

Make sure your Orbi router (not the satellite) is fully up and running.

Put the satellite near the router — like, same room. Don’t try to sync it from across the house. That comes later, after it’s synced.

On the router, find the sync button. Press it. Then, within 2 minutes, go hit the sync button on the satellite. They need to find each other in that window.

The lights will do their thing. Here’s what you want:

• Blue light: sweet, they’re synced.
• Amber: weak connection. Might still work.
• Magenta/purple: nope. Didn’t sync. You’re back to square one.

If you get magenta. Just unplug the satellite, plug it back in, and try again.

Orbi App Login and Setup

Go to the App Store or Google Play. Search for Orbi (by NETGEAR) Download it. Open it. It’ll ask you to create a NETGEAR account.

Then it’ll search for your Orbi. This part can be a little slow. Make sure your phone’s Bluetooth and location is on. Once it finds it, you’ll set up your WiFi network name and password.

Add Satellites

After the main router is set up, the app will guide you to add satellites.

• Plug them in wherever you want decent coverage. Start with them in the same room so they sync faster.
• Wait for the LED on the top to go blue or white. Blue = good connection. Amber = meh. Red = nope.
• If it’s red, move it closer to the router and try again.

The app usually finds the satellites automatically. If it doesn’t, you can tap “Add Satellite” manually.

Firmware Updates

The app might tell you there’s an update. Hit “update” and just walk away for 10–15 minutes. It looks like nothing’s happening, but it is. Don’t unplug anything unless you want to start over.

Once the updates are done and all the devices are showing solid lights (or none — they go dark when stable), you’re good. Your WiFi should be live.

Orbilogin.net Setup

On your computer/laptop, look for a WiFi network in the WiFi settings of the device. Password is usually on a sticker underneath the router. just connect with the Orbi network.

Just type: orbilogin.net into your browser’s address bar. Or even better, use the IP: 192.168.1.1. That tends to work more reliably.

If it says something like “Can’t connect” — double-check you’re on the Orbi WiFi, not your phone’s mobile data or whatever.

Once the page loads, it’ll launch into a Orbi SRK60 setup wizard. You’ll:

• Create an admin Orbi login/password for the Orbi system
• Answer a few annoying questions
• Let it detect your internet (it usually auto-detects DHCP or PPPoE)
• Set your new WiFi name + password (or stick with the default)

After that, it may reboot. That’s normal.

Add the Satellites

Now that the main router is live:

• Plug in the satellite(s) around your house (ideally within 30-40ft of the router to start)
• Power it on
• Watch the ring LED:
  • Blue = good connection
  • Amber = meh connection (you might need to move it)
  • Magenta (purple) = no connection, try closer

You don’t need to log in again or do anything fancy. It auto-links once the router’s ready.

Troubleshooting Tips & Solutions for Orbi Pro SRK60 Setup

Can’t Get Past the White Blinking LED?

That means it’s stuck in setup mode. Could be one of a few things:

• Your modem’s not playing nice (especially if it’s a gateway/modem-router combo).
• DHCP’s being weird.
• Firmware’s out of date on the satellite.

Quick fix:

• Power off everything. Modem, Orbi router, satellites.
• Boot the modem first. Wait until it’s fully online.
• THEN power on the Orbi router. Give it like 2–3 minutes.
• Plug in the satellites last.

You might need to factory reset the whole Orbi pro SRK60 setup if it’s still cranky. Hold the reset button on each unit (paperclip time) for 10 seconds until the LED goes amber. Then start fresh.

Satellite Won’t Sync?

You did the sync button dance and nothing’s happening? Yeah. That happens.

Try this:

• Put the satellite closer to the router during sync. Like, in the same room.
• Press the router’s Sync button first. Then within 2 minutes, press the satellite’s button.
• If it still won’t connect, check the firmware. This part sucks, but it matters.

Log in to the router admin panel. Go to Advanced > Administration > Firmware Update
Make sure both router and satellites are running the same version. If not? Update manually. Yes, manually. Download firmware from Netgear’s site. Upload it via the browser UI.

Orbi Randomly Drops Connection After Setup?

Could be interference. Could be firmware. Could be that the auto channel selection is trash.

Try this:

• Go to Advanced > Wireless Settings
• Turn off “Auto channel”
• Manually assign a less congested channel (use a WiFi analyzer app to check)
• Also, try disabling MU-MIMO or Beamforming just to test

Sometimes those features sound good but actually wreck stability in some environments.

Admin Login Not Working After Setup?

If you changed the password and forgot it (yeah, it happens), you’re going to need to factory reset.

Hold reset on the router until you see the amber light. Start over. Next time, save the login somewhere or use a password manager.
