Pulsing white at the router should stop once all is well
the magenta at the sat is not good. Perhaps too far away
any recent firmware updates?
have you tried a different browser?

I updated the firmware today after failing to factory reset to see if it would fix my issues. Before that I had not updated firmware in quite some time. I tried both chrome and edge browsers, but neither would find the router.
A quick update as well, I went out and got a new RBK20W an hour ago to get my household back up and running. This laptop can login to the new router no problem, and the RBS50 satellite is working with this kit as well.

Sounds like your original Orbi router may be dead
not sure if your replacement router is compatible with the old sat
others here can help
nice work.
