Orbi RBR50 seems stuck in boot loop
Hi, After my orbi performance dropped, I restarted the router hopping it will fix it. However it doesnt fully restart now. The power led is solid green and the ring is solid white for like 20 sec...
That's right. Only the laptop is connected with a cable .
And pressing the reset button for 15 seconds doesn't stop this?
Try this method of TFTP as last resort:

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.
IF this doesn't stop the problem, then I presume the RBR is bad and needs to be replaced.
