hi everyone I'm agent Reede and welcome
to tech tips here in the lab we know
today's homes have more connected
devices than ever before that means
having a strong consistent Wi-Fi sitting
across every room in the house is
critical to keeping them all running
harmoniously so today I'm going to show
you how to set up the aura mesh Wi-Fi
system to enhance your home signal
strength and coverage to set it up you
need the orbit mesh Wi-Fi system it
includes a router and two satellites you
need a connected working modem and a
smartphone with the orby app installed
on it now if you're new to mesh systems
the benefit of a satellite is that it
essentially boosts your Wi-Fi signal in
areas of your home that are further away
from your router whether you need more
or fewer satellites will depend on the
size and layout of your home today we'll
be using two for this demonstration
we'll assume you've got the or B app
installed and ready to go but if you
don't hit pause and do that first I'll
wait for you first
disconnect your router from your modem
and its power source
this will shut down your current Wi-Fi
signal next make sure the Wi-Fi on your
smart phone is turned on but not
connected to any other Wi-Fi networks
the setup won't work properly if you are
during this demonstration will connect
to the internet using our smart phones
data it can be done offline if needed
but the setup screens will appear in a
different order than the ones in this
video when you open your or be out for
the first time review the terms and
conditions and accept them if you agree
next we will need to give the OVF access
to our location tap allow to do that at
this point your phone will ask for
permission to share your location with
the app if you agree choose allow then
tap get started on the next screen
login to your Netgear account or create
it if you don't have one yet to create
your account enter your name and email
create a password then tap continue
choose whether you want to enable
two-step verification we recommend you
do for added security but for this
demonstration we'll select maybe later
once you've created your account tap
done when the app asks you if you want
to install the new Netgear product
select YES on the QR code screen go
ahead and enable the camera then allow
it to take pictures and videos so it can
scan the QR code on your router now
you'll need to unplug and reboot your
modem once you've plugged it back in
press next
then you'll be prompted to connect the
or B router to your motor use the
included Ethernet cable to connect them
plug the router in then tap next to
continue from there you'll see a diagram
showing examples of where to place your
satellites in your home relative to the
router in general you want to place them
in areas that are a bit further away
from the router and also in areas where
there is heavier Wi-Fi device usage
variables like the number of walls in
your home and the materials they're made
of can impact router signal strength so
you may have to experiment with
placement to find what works in your
home once you place your satellites
connect the power cord and plug them in
after all your satellites are plugged in
you can tap the next button it may take
a few minutes for your or B satellite to
power up while it does let's pause for a
quiet moment of reflection

hmm that was nice
okay now the router will detect and
connect to your network this may also
take a couple of minutes perfect now
orbit will detect the satellites once it
does tap continue
now it's time to personalise your
network settings tap next here you could
customize the network name and password
you use to connect to your Wi-Fi for now
we'll use the default and tap next on
the next screen you'll set up your admin
user login for security reasons we
recommend using a different password
than the one you login to Wi-Fi work now
you'll select and answer some security
questions
my youngest sister's name is Sarah you
know what I should give her a call later
next the orbit would check for new
firmware if there's a new update
available tap update if not tap next
and now you're up and running tap next
to complete the setup now the or V app
will auto install Netgear armor you have
the option of purchasing a subscription
once the trial period inspires beyond
that your setup is complete that's it
your home is better connected and your
Wi-Fi shangri-la is ready to enjoy if
