all was working fine, but xfinity router went ourt.  replaced a few days ago.  all was goo again, but now I find that there is a purple solid light on top of main orbi box. BVUT NOT the 2 satelites.

 

have rebooted both the router and orbi (several times).  looks like its working but i am puzzled about the purple lite ()no internet connection).  whats wrong and how to correct?

  • Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router and satellites been performed since last update?
    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
    Turn off and unplug modem.
    Turn off router and computers.
    Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on computers and rest of network.

     

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
