Orbi RBR50 Dead (Wireless)
Just a datapoint. My 7+ year old RBR50 just flat out died with respect to wireless functionality. As for ethernet, it appears to be fine. However, absolutely no wireless signal after recycles, re...
It is nice having a couple backups! Having 2 RBR50's sitting in a closet makes some nice redundancy. I wouldn't even working about checking into fixing the first if you had 2 backups. If the first lasted 7 years, by the time you need the other backup, it'll be time to upgrade.

Or maybe time to find something newer.
Good Luck.
Thanks.
I pretty well fixed here for the time being with my (replaced) RBR50 and another spare in my closet.
If I have to pull out the spare in the near future, then I'll be looking at picking up the 960 series or perhaps even the 970.

100%, I agree! Funny thing is one of the RBR50 backup units I bought off a guy on ebay (private party) years ago and I thought I was buying a RBS50 (satellite) because I needed an extra SAT. When it arrived, I just didn't have the heart to send it back because it was my mistake. The other one I intended to buy as a backup, which is now in use.
Hopefully, the satellites keep working............
