What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Thanks. It is synced and most of the time its a long blue light. I don't mind during the day but at night time its still full blue.
I live in Hong Kong and most of the walls are cement, so the connection is not always good. 1500 sq ft home. The main unit is in the living room, the network has to passthrough a hallway, then turn right to another corridor to my sattelite unit in my bedroom. I tried many spots in the house and this is the only way to get full coverage of the mesh network. All i want is to shut off the light ring. Anyone know? i don't mind the spotchy network, i just need to get rid of the light. (some other post i read suggest that its faulty and i should return it?)
