Thank you again for the reply.

Just an update on my problem, as i previously told you i could not rectify the problem with any of yesterdays suggestions and the RBS pulsed white all day. I had to reboot my main computer last night and low and behold the RBS stopped pulsing and went blue. yippee.
I checked the set up on both my phone app and the orbilogin on the computer and the system was all ok, the RBS was a satellite and green circles next to RBR and RBS on app. It worked like this for a few hours then i went to bed.

I awoke this morning to see my phone connected to the orbi wirelessly but i could not access the internet ( this was the original problem i had the other day that i have been trying to rectify ). Using the phone app i checked the network and the RBS was connected to the RBR and had a green dot but the RBR had a red dot and said no internet connection.

I went on to my computer and could access the internet. I removed the power to the RBR and powered back up. With the RBR off i could not access the internet via the computer as expected as this goes via the RBR to the web. When the RBR powered back up, i checked the phone app. RBS connected to RBR with green dot, red dot still next to RBR and no internet connection message. I could access the internet again with the computer.

I rebooted the computer again and again the Orbi system is ok on the phone app and on the orbilogin.

As it was working again I checked the firmware and both are up to date V2.5.1.8

I turned the computer off again and whilst it was off the RBR and RBS were working ok, as it should be.

Have you any idea why this might be happening and what might be the solution. I obviously can not reboot the computer every day to get the internet to work.

I will give you another update tomorrow morning.

Thanks

your firmware is BAD. Get RID of it.
