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...

via windows ?? or MAC ??
as i have the same problem and bought the serial to USB but cannot get any contact via TeraTerm a windows terminal program i installed.
any help is much appriciated here.
I was using a Macbook Air
It was a long time ago now, but I think I followed the instructions on this page: https://pbxbook.com/other/mac-tty.html
For the physical serial port connection I used this https://www.snbforums.com/attachments/orbi-serial-port-pdf.23898/
If you're not seeing any console output then I'd recommend double checking which header pins on the motherboard you connected the serial line to. The instructions are very easy to get wrong because there are some other pins close by and the orientation of the motherboard is unclear. I got mine back to front the first time I tried this!
do you have a list of commands or instructions on how to do this on windows 10? I have an orbi rbr50 that just has a white solid light and will not do anything. I bought the serial to usb adapter and have a terminal open just dont know what to do next.
