Orbi RBK50 Blinking white and power light blinking
I have the RBK50 version with one satellite and last night sometime the wifi went out. Satellite unsynced and main router that I use as a WAP since att uverse only allowed it this way. The main box is blinking white and the power light is blinking red. I seen people post about the blinking white but not both. Is there any help that anyone can offer?

Unplug the RBR from the ISP modem and all other wired devices.
Power OFF the RBR. If you have a RBS50, use the power supply adapter from the RBS50 and plug it into the RBR50. Power ON the RBR with out anything connected. Does the back LED turn GREEN and remain ON or continue blinking RED?
What happens if you press the reset button for 15 seconds then release?
You have the RBR in AP mode?
- Yes it's in AP mode as it's been working since June of 2020. The power supply from the satellite didn't help as it's still doing the same thing. Holding the reset button doesn't do anything as well. No matter how long you hold it
Possible the RBR is bad.

Need to press the reset button for 30 seconds then release, then it send to PUT the command and upload the FW.
I had a problem on a Windows 10 PC where this didn't work to use TFTP, so I switched to a WIndows 7 PC and the TFTP worked.
