Hi,
Yes. I’ve held the reset button in for up to a minute but no joy.
Top just continually flashes white.
It’s not until you have a problem like this that you then realise what should have been done in what order.
When I first setup, the Orbi GUI just said there was an update. It didn’t specifally give any detail with regards to order sequence.
Thanks

The only thing I believe that can work, you'll have to grab the prior version v.16 of FW file for the router from NG support site. Apply this to the router to downgrade it, long enough to apply the newer version of FW to the satellite, then upgrade the router back to most current version. Grab both new and prior versions for the router before you attempt this. I would also disconnect the Orbi router from the ISP service after it's updated to keep it from re-updating to the recent version until you get the RBS updated...
I would do a full factory reset on everything and set up from scratch if you can get the satellite upgraded and connected.
- I’ll give it a try but my only problem is that I don’t know what version it was on out of the box to then be able to rematch the router with the satellite.
Let us know how it goes...
