How to install Netgear Orbi RBE772

Installing the Orbi RBE772 is straightforward and quick. Follow these steps to set up your two‑pack system and enjoy fast, reliable Wi‑Fi across your space:

• Unbox and position: Place the primary router (the unit connected to your modem) in a central location for maximum coverage. Set the satellites in areas where the Wi‑Fi signal tends to be weak or where you need stronger connectivity, avoiding large obstacles and metal appliances.
• Connect to the modem: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Orbi router’s WAN port to your modem. Plug both units into power outlets and wait for them to boot up.
• Power on and open the app: Download and install the Netgear Orbi app on your smartphone or tablet. Follow the on‑screen prompts to create or sign in to your Netgear account and begin the setup process.
• Sync the satellites: In the app, add the satellites by following the guided steps. The app will help you place each unit for optimal signal and test coverage in every room.
• Configure network settings: Set your SSID, password, and preferred security options. Enable features like guest network, parental controls, and device‑level access restrictions as needed.
• Test and optimize: Run the built‑in network test, check signal strength in each area, and adjust satellite placement if necessary to ensure uniform performance throughout your home.

Frequently asked questions

What is Wi‑Fi 7 and how does it improve performance?

Wi‑Fi 7, or IEEE 802.11be, expands channel width, introduces more efficient data encoding, and supports more spatial streams. This means higher theoretical speeds, reduced latency, and better performance in environments with many connected devices, which is ideal for streaming in 4K/8K, cloud gaming, and smart‑home ecosystems.

Is the Orbi RBE772 a single router or a mesh system?

The Orbi RBE772 is a mesh router system designed as a 2‑pack bundle. It creates a seamless, unified network across your home by using one main router and at least one satellite to extend coverage to every corner.

Does this system support wired backhaul?

Yes. The RBE772 supports wired backhaul between units, which can maximize performance in homes with Ethernet drops or where a hard‑wired connection is feasible. Wired backhaul helps preserve wireless bandwidth for client devices and reduces interference between units.

What about security and parental controls?

The system includes built‑in security features and supports NETGEAR Armor (subscription may apply) to protect connected devices from online threats. Parental controls allow you to manage content restrictions and screen time across devices within the home network.

What’s required to set up?

A compatible modem from your internet service provider and an internet plan are required. The Orbi app guides you through setup, no advanced technical knowledge is needed. The two‑pack configuration helps you quickly expand coverage as your network demands grow.

Can I use this system with an existing router?

The Orbi RBE772 is designed to replace a traditional router for a complete mesh experience. It can be configured to work with certain existing networks in bridge or access point mode, but for full mesh performance and features, a dedicated Orbi setup is recommended.
