ORBI RBK53- satellite pulsing white....
I have an 2-RBS50, and a RBR50. All were running firmware V2.7.3.22. Had a power outage in a storm yesterday that lasted all of 5-10 seconds. Router and satellites rebooted, but one of the satellites was flashing white. Turned off everything, and rebooted router followed by both satellites in that order. Same satellite keeps flashing white....On GUI website, it sees the satellite, but no connection. I then did a hard reset to try and re-sync the satellite. Now on reboot, it keeps flashing white and the router no longer sees it. Any help please, or is the satellite a goner?
SUCCESS!!!
so first completely bricked it by pressing reset and holidng it, turing power off, then turned back on. Power LED flashing red. so retried again upload to 192.168.1.1. Worked, and rebooted. Kept flashing white. unplugged ethernet and let it sit. Suddenly, light turned blue. Was able to reconnect to my old satellite and router w/ all the settings. Followed the directions in :
Thanks for your help FURRYe38!

Did you reset the RBS only or both RBS and RBR?
- Only the flashing RBS. Other RBS and RBR were untouched. Nervous to reset those and fry the whole system
Is the 2nd RBS listed in the RBRs connected devices page? If it's seen there, remove it using the remove button no the web page. Then reboot the RBR and allow it to come to ready. Turn ON the RBS and when it's pulsating WHITE, hit the sync button on the RBS then RBR. Do this with the this one RBS in same room as the RBR...
