Steps to Reset Orbi Outdoor Satellite
The steps mentioned below will help you reset the satellite no matter whether you have performed Orbi outdoor extender setup or have installed the satellite in the default Orbi mode. You can also use the steps to reset your indoor satellites.
Warning: This is to inform you that resetting the mesh outdoor satellite to the factory default settings will erase every personalized setting (SSID and password and user details).
- Make sure that your Orbi outdoor satellite is powered on.
- Now, check the rear panel of the satellite and find the Reset button.
- Using a paper clip or a similar object, you should press the button.
- Do not release the button before 8 seconds.
- The light on your Outdoor satellite will blink amber indicating that a factory reset is in progress.
- Very soon, your Orbi device will reset.
Now that your Orbi outdoor satellite is running on the factory default settings, we recommend you re-install it in the Orbi or Extender mode depending upon your internet requirements.

Can’t Reset Orbi Outdoor Satellite?
- Ensure Stable Power Supply: If you are not able to perform a factory default reset of your Orbi WiFi extender, it is suggested to check the power socket into which you have plugged it. There might be some damages due to which power supply might have been interrupted resulting in an incomplete reset process. Thus, plug the satellite into another outlet and initiate the reset process again.
- Press the Button for Correct Duration: The press and hold of the Reset button on the satellite during the reset process matters a lot. Especially the object being used and the time period for which you keep the button pressed. If you release the button before 7 seconds, the process will halt. Also, you can’t complete the factory reset using a pen. Use a pin like object only.
Perform a Power Cycle
Sometimes, bigger operations related to Orbi get paused because of glitches. There are chances that technical glitches are preventing your Orbi outdoor satellite from returning to default settings. Thus, we recommend you power cycle the satellite and then proceed to perform its factory default reset.
What to Do After Orbi Outdoor Satellite Reset?
The only sensible thing that you are supposed to do after resetting the Outdoor satellite is to install it once again. Thus, bring the satellite closer to the Orbi or non-Orbi router and set it up properly using the correct instructions. The appearance of the Orbi blue light for 3 minutes will signify that the setup is completed and the connection is successful.
