How to Install Netgear Orbi RBE773

• Place the Orbi RBE773 gateway in a central, open location away from thick walls, metal appliances, or other sources of interference to maximize wireless performance.
• Connect the gateway to your modem using an Ethernet cable plugged into the WAN/Internet port, then power on the device and wait for the status indicators to settle.
• Download and launch the Orbi app on your iOS or Android device. Follow the on‑screen prompts to create your network name (SSID) and password, then register your device for management and upgrades.
• To extend coverage, place Orbi satellites at strategic points around your home. Aim for a balance between distance and signal strength, so devices always have a strong link to the gateway or a nearby satellite.
• Enable features that matter most to you, such as guest networks, parental controls, QoS priorities for gaming or video calls, and automatic firmware updates. Periodically check the app for new features or security enhancements.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does Wi‑Fi 7 mean for my home network? A: Wi‑Fi 7, or IEEE 802.11be, is the latest wireless standard that delivers higher theoretical speeds, lower latency, and better efficiency in environments with many connected devices. It’s especially beneficial for 4K/8K streaming, online gaming, and multi‑device households where bandwidth is shared across multiple activities.
• Q: How many devices can the Orbi RBE773 support? A: The RBE773 is designed to handle dense households with many smart devices. While there isn’t a fixed device limit, you’ll experience a smoother network when many devices are connected by using the 6 GHz band for high‑bandwidth tasks and enabling wired backhaul for critical devices.
• Q: Do I need a modem or a gateway? A: You typically connect the Orbi router to your existing modem. If you have a gateway provided by your ISP, you can place the Orbi as a separate router in front of it to manage your own network independently and unlock full Wi‑Fi 7 capabilities.
• Q: Can I use existing Orbi satellites with the RBE773? A: Yes. The Orbi RBE773 is compatible with other Orbi satellites in the 770 Series, enabling a scalable mesh network. This lets you expand coverage by adding satellites as needed to eliminate dead zones.
• Q: What security features are included? A: The system includes WPA3 encryption, automatic firmware updates, and a guest network option for visitors. These features help maintain a secure network without requiring manual configuration for each device.
