Crooked Orbi Router. Only solid green power light and can't perform a reset
I have this RBR50K router and i came back home and its not working. I have solid green light at the back however i have been reading multiple tread and almost tried them all. I did 30 30 30 method,...
Just chiming in. I have this exact same problem. My Orbi is out of warranty. It just stopped working. I am guessing it was some sort of failed automatic firmware update. I tried resetting with a paper clip. I also tried the 30/30/30 method. None have worked. I tried the solution described here https://kb.netgear.com/000059633/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP-client and here https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Bricked-Orbit-Failed-Firmware-Update/m-p/1559274#M29348 and here https://visihow.com/Perform_a_firmware_recovery_on_a_router. The power light just stays a constant green. I cannot ping the router.
Then your RBR is bad and needs to be replaced. Sorry.

This is the only other utility I know of to try.
Thanks for your reply. I gave it a shot but no luck. It just timed out. Thanks anyway.
