Orbi RBR 40 will not reset, blinks white ring
Orbi stopped working and flashes white ring, green LED stays lit on back. Try to reset, but nothing happens. Unit is about 2 years old and can not find any troubleshooting help for it. Is it dead?

Did you press the back reset button for 15 seconds only then release? Disconnect the RBR from the ISP Modem/ONT when you do this.
By "blinking", is the top ring flashing ON and OFF or slowly pulsating On and Off WHITE?
Connect a wired PC to the RBR and can you access the RBRs web page after the reset at 192.168.1.1 in a web browser?
If you can't you can try this:
