Orbi RBR50 router will not start or reset
Hi, I have an Orbi RBR50 that I got in a RBK50 two pack that suddenly stopped working. It had previously been working great for two years and I'm out of warranty. The glow from the top doesn't ...
Yes, holding the reset button with a paper clip (I feel the click) does nothing. The power light just stays green.
What do you see on the top ring LED? Should blink WHITE first then pulsate WHITE.
Can you access the RBRs web page at 192.168.1.1 if the top ring pulsates WHITE?
The top light does not come on at all (no pulsating), although I feel like that might have stopped working a while ago. I am unable to login to the router at at all the the wifi does not come up.

Need to press the reset button for 30 seconds then release, then it send to PUT the command and upload the FW.
I had a problem on a Windows 10 PC where this didn't work to use TFTP, so I switched to a WIndows 7 PC and the TFTP worked.
Try nmrpflash?
Others have had luck with that when tftp didn't work
