My RBS50 satellite has no ring light

My satellite RBS50 has no ring light at all.  Power is on and attempted reset a few times.    Does this mean the satellite is bad?    The base router is working fine.  I guess I can buy a new one if that is the case.  Could there possibly be an issue with the main router or is it likely just a dead satellite?  Ethernet from the main router out to where the satellite is works fine if I plug directly into a computer

    So powering OFF the RBS for 10 seconds then back ON doesn't produce a WHITE blinking light at all after it's turned on? 

     

    Is there a red or green LED in back?

        How does the Orbi app or  the Orbi web browser interface describe this satellite?
