ORBI RBK 40 ring light issue
hi, can you let me know how to turn off the LED ring light? or set the wifi to off at night time.
My orbi sattelite is in my bedroom and the connection is not always good to the main unit due to hal...
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?)

Something is "not right." Orbi documentation describes how the Orbi ring LED are supposed to work:
Satellite and router ring LEDs
Pulsing white. Your Orbi router and satellite are applying a configuration or updating their firmware.
OFF. Your Orbi router and satellite are working normally.
Satellite ring LEDs
Solid white. Your Orbi satellite is powering up.
Pulsing magenta. When your Orbi satellite's ring LED pulses magenta for the first time, it means that your satellite is attempting to connect to your Orbi router. If the ring LED pulses magenta for more than one minute, it could be for the following reasons: the satellite lost the connection to the router or the satellite is unable to get an IP address from the router.
Solid magenta. Your Orbi satellite ring is solid magenta for 10 seconds if it is unable to obtain the IP address from the router.
Solid blue. If your Orbi satellite ring is solid blue for 10 seconds, the connection between your Orbi router and satellite is good.
Solid amber. If your Orbi satellite ring is solid amber for 10 seconds, the connection between the router and satellite is fair.
"Solid blue" is supposed to last for 10 seconds. If the top ring is solid blue for hours, the device is not behaving as it should.
When you look at the Orbi "Attached Devices", does it show the Satellite connection? Does it show devices attached to the Satellite?
