Overview

802.11ac Two-Stream Wave2 WiFi plus Dedicated Two-Stream Wireless Backhaul

"2976551502" is silkscreened on the board in the FCC photos.

DFS was added with a FCC Class II Permissive Change request on 12/22/2017. This Orbi Satellite acts as a DFS master at frequencies from 5250 MHz to 5350 MHz and as a DFS slave from 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz.

A new FCC entry (PY317400404) dated 02/27/2018 removes bluetooth support.

Setup GUI available at http://orbilogin.com when connected via Wi-Fi.

Flashing

NOTE: During configuration or flashing a device, the only things that should be hooked to the device is the computer and power.

Flashing OpenWrt

The development branch can contain experimental code that is under active development and should not be used for production environments. Snapshot images may support additional hardware; however, it is experimental, considered unstable, and sometimes won't compile.

Prebuilt snapshot images do not come with any web interface or GUI. You will need to be comfortable using a command line and remote shell to install one yourself → How to install LuCI

On the OpenWrt ToH (techdata entry)
OpenWrt Target: ipq40xx
OpenWrt Subtarget: generic
