How to Prepare RBR50 and RBS50 Units for Sale
Hi. Stupid question for all. I have an RBR 50 with 3 RBS50 satellites.
I'm going to sell them on ebay. Perfect cosmetic condition, all working perfectly and updated to latest FW.
What is the best way to reset them all? Keep all of them on, and connected, and reset each, unit by unit, starting with RBR?

One, does the order in which I reset matter? Router first then satellites, for example?
Two, does the network (router and satellites) need to be on and active for the reset process to work?
No order necessary. But I always reset the router first, then satellites.
They have to be on but not necessarily active. Just reset and turn off each one.

To reset your Orbi WiFi system to factory default settings:
- Make sure your Orbi device is powered on.
- Using a paper clip or similar object, press and hold the Reset button until the Power LED on your Orbi device blinks amber.
Note: If you are resetting a wall-plug satellite, the ring LED blinks amber.
Your Orbi device is reset.
Thank you. Two more questions.
