• Kabelverbindungen: Verify that all Ethernet cables are securely connected between your modem and the Orbi router, and between Orbi units if using wired backhaul.
• System neu starten: Power cycle your modem, then your Orbi router, and finally your Orbi satellites. Wait for each device to fully boot up before proceeding to the next.

7.2 Poor WiFi Signal or Slow Speeds

• Satellite Placement: Ensure your Orbi satellites are optimally placed. Use the Orbi app's placement guide to find ideal locations, avoiding physical obstructions like thick walls or large appliances.
• Interferenz: Move Orbi units away from other electronic devices that might cause interference (e.g., microwaves, cordless phones).
