Orbi main router solid magenta
Basic info: I have a direct fiber connection with 250mbs up and down. There is no modem, just a wall outlet. All was previously working well. I woke up in the morning and my Orbi main router was so...
Has anyone found a resolution for this issue? I have been on the phone with Netgear for HOURS. They got it working for a couple of weeks with a bandaid fix making me put in a static IP but now it is solid magenta again. I have seen many people compain about this exact issue on other discussions but have not seen any with a resolution. All say the same that it will work for a couple weeks and then crap out and turn solid magenta again. Is it happening everytime there is a firmware update? Are their updates that unstable?
Hello Ares24
Are you still seeing these issues on 1.9.1.12 Firmware?

YES
Also got complete new devices.
Same issue.
Suffering since January and speaking with support since then. No solution.
New Firmware has new issue; loss of WIFI stability.
It´s not getting better...
I´m loosing my fanatism about Orbi.
I am having so much trouble with Cox right now, that I acn't tell whats going on. One day super slow Upload speeds and the next their back and the download is slower. Looks like inside thier orginization but now I don't know.
My Orbi router LED ring turns solid magenta after about a week or two of use. I don't experience interruptions in connectivity (but of course can't rule out that for very short periods the WAN goes down).
I like the magenta light :-) However, in that state the Orbi management interface is not accessible (neither orbilogin.com nor via ethernet address). That's very annoying.
To recover I have to power it down for an extended period of time. A short power cycle results in a magenta light once the Orbi is back and connected.
This issue has been discussed for so long in forums that I am disappointed it's still not solved! Orbi guys: you have such a great product, what's missing here?
