Recently my Orbi RB50 satellite's status lights have been more "active" than in the past, the the base station and satellite have not changed position. Several times a day the satellite will cycle from amber to blue. Sometimes, just the blue LED comes on, and other times just the Amber. My internet speed seems consistent using the smart phone speed test.
I understand what the colors "mean" but don't know whether or not to be concerned about the higher rate of LED activity?
That would indicate the satellite and router have a poor connection. I would move one or both so they are closer together and/or have fewer building materials between. Also, make sure neither unit is near another source of radio frequency interference. That could include Bluetooth devices, wireless speakers, etc. This probably started with the recent firmware update to 0.74

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll adjust the postion of my satellite Orbi and see if that reduced the cycling of the LEDs.
