Quick Installation: Using Two Different Methods 

First let us tell you that the Netgear Orbi AX6000 setup process is quite simple. You get access to two methods. We'll list the steps for both. So you can choose one that you find easier and follow it precisely. 

✓ Find The Right Spot

First of all remember no matter how accurately you follow the Netgear Orbi AX6000 setup, the outcome won't be favourable if the placement of the device is not correct. So plot the Orbi in an open space, probably at the center point of your abode. Make sure the chosen spot has no unnecessary barriers like too many concrete/ glass walls or heavy furniture. Also, keep the router far from metal and electronic gadgets. For better travelling of signals and routers connectivity to the satellites, try placing the AX6000 on some higher surface like on a table top. 

✓ Power On The Device

Moving further, for errorless Netgear Orbi AX6000 setup, we would suggest you reboot the modem after unplugging the existing router if any. Now in the bought package, you get an Ethernet wire. Use this wire and create a connection between the AX6000 router and the modem. Now take the power cable and use it to supply adequate electricity to the AX6000 device. 

Do not hop on to the next setup step, until the AX6000 shows a steady white light. 

✓ Pair Smart Device To AX6000

For this particular Netgear Orbi AX6000 setup step you need a smart device. Enable wifi of your chosen device. Now on the base of AX6000 you'll find the username and security password. Collect it and then use it to establish a wireless pairing between the router and the smart device. 

• Finish Setup Using Orbi App

As written above, there are two setup methods. So one is done using the Orbi app. Now on the paired device, you have to open the Orbi app. If you don't already have it, you can install it by visiting the Play/App store or you can directly scan the code given in the user manual. Finally, just follow the app's instructions one by one and complete the Netgear Orbi AX6000 setup process. 

• Wrap Up Setup Using Web Browser 

The other option is using a web browser for the setup. The steps for it are:

• On the paired device open internet browser. Choose a compatible one like chrome, edge, safari and firefox. 

• Go to the URL section. Fill up any of these two options:

  • orbilogin.com

  • 192.168.1.1.

• As you press the Enter key the page of terms and conditions opens up. Agree with them. Click on Next. 

• After the internet connection is detected, power on the satellites and let them boot up. Again hit on Next. 

• Now create an admin security password. Choose two questions. Answer them and hit on Next. 

• Thereafter, you get to personalize network details. Once done, pair your smart device to the new network and wrap up the Netgear Orbi AX6000 setup by clicking on “I am connected to it”. 

Troubleshooting Common Issues 

No doubt the setup process is simple but we all know about the uncertain nature of technology and technical devices. So if you have come across any problem during the Netgear Orbi AX6000 setup process, then the below written steps can help you troubleshoot the issues. 

• If you aren't able to pair your smart device to the AX6000 using wireless information then you can establish a wired connection directly by using ethernet wire. 

• Next up, if the web browser isn't taking you to the main setup page, then make sure the browser doesn't have pending updates. In addition to it, you must also clean up the browser's caches and cookies folder. 

• Remember loose wiring connections and inadequate supply of electricity can also be the root cause. So make sure there is no such problem there. 

• A quick restart of the entire setup can also fix minor glitches instantly. 

• Sometimes the problem could also be with the smart device that you are using for the configuration. So try using a different device. 

• Did you try the setup process but the outcome wasn't successful? If yes, then factory resetting is non-negotiable for doing the setup from scratch.

• Ensure the correctness of the login details. There shouldn't be any space in it and use lower letter case only.
