How do I install my NETGEAR Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 products?

The NETGEAR Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System is a whole-home WiFi solution featuring EasyMesh and WiFi 6 technology.

Follow these high-level steps to install your Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System:

To connect your router:

Unplug your modem from its power source.
If your modem uses a backup battery, remove the battery.
Plug in and power on your modem.
If your modem uses a backup battery, put the battery back in.
Using the Ethernet cable that came with your Mesh WiFi 6 System, connect your modem to the yellow Internet port of your WiFi Mesh router.
Connect the power adapter to your router and plug the power adapter into an outlet.

To sync your satellite with your router:

Place your satellite in the same room as your router for the initial setup process.
If you own more than one satellite, your satellites can sync with each other or with your router. Place your satellites so that they are within range of each other or the router. One of your satellites must be within range of your router.
Connect your satellite to a power source.
The satellite LED pulses white. The satellite automatically finds your router's WiFi signal and attempts to sync to your router.
The satellite LED then lights one of the following colors:
- Blue: The router and satellite successfully synced and the connection between the router and satellite is good.
- Amber: The router and satellite failed to sync.
If the satellite LED is amber, do the following:
1. Unplug your satellite, move the satellite closer to your router, and plug it back in.
2. Press the Sync button on the back of your router.
3. Within two minutes, press the Sync button on the back of your satellite.
  The satellite attempts to sync with your router. See Step 2 for LED behavior.
Repeat Steps 1-3 for your additional satellites.

After the setup process is complete, you can place your satellites in new locations. For more information, see Where should I place the MS60 satellite of my Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System?.
