    Try this, may or may not work for stubborn routers.

    Unplug Orbi router from the wall, leaving the Power suipply plugged in and the power button in on position.

    After 1 to 2 minutes, press and hold the reset button and plug in the router, still holding the reset button.

    When  the router power flashes red, let go of the reset button and let the router come back up.

    The power light should be normal and hopefully the top ring will be pulsating white and ready to reconfigure as if it came out of the box.
