Orbi bricked after factory reset
I have an RBR50 plus two RBS50 satellites. I have a router provided by my ISP (its an Adtran model) which is cannot be put into Bridge mode. So this means I need to have the Orbi as an access point...
I may have got it working...
I saw another post on here that said to tell the Orbi to use a fixed IP from your router when in access point mode, even though Netgear warns you not to. Also set the DNS servers to be public IPs, I used Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
Then power cycled the Orbi router and ISP router and it has started to work.
Oh, and the Orbi router has a solid magenta light

Yes using Static IP address for the RBR in AP mode is preferred. Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
