Orbi RBR50 Will Not Factory Reset

Hi,

So I have a problem with my Orbi RBR50!  Factory Reset doesn't work. I try to press the reset button 10 seconds also 30 seconds but without change, Power LED  also green color, not orange. In RBS50 this function it's working. Only when I turn off Power and hold the reset button Power LED starting Blinking RED! It means Blinking red: The firmware is corrupted. How I can fix it? I can't connect RBR50 in my laptop or phone.

Pls, advise how to solve this problem ....

 

Kind regards,

 

Djshuh

    I did all these actions. Power LED color green but same my RBR50 doesn't work. No internet connection no WiFi also I can't connect in my device.After you factory reset, did you load the app and re-configure the RBR50? It needs to be reinstalled after reset.

    I find any device can be stubborn sometimes. When I run across a stubborn Orbi, I try this.

    Plug the power supply into the RBR50, but not in the wall. Let it sit for a bit. I go from 1 minutes to 5 minutes, depending on my patience.

    Holding down the reset button, plug in the Orbi and turn it on. Do not let go of the reset button, watch it blink red. Eventually it should turn solid green. Sometimes I release the reset the minute it blinks red too, then eventually it will turn green. 

    If this does not work
