Or press the reset button until the top ring LED turns AMBER the let go.
What Firmware is currently loaded?

It should be noted the whole system's firmware is up-to-date and the satellites are both connected via ethernet. With those details out of the way, here is the issue.
One of my satellites will not work what so ever. Even when I plug and unplug the satellite from power I get no ring LED indicators on top of the satellite (which I have had previously). The only indication of power I see is the little green dot on the back of the satellite right by the DC power input. Thus, the satellite will not connect to the router via ethernet NOR over wifi signal... A few days ago the top of my orbi was pulsing green, which I looked up on the internet and it was found to be a lack of the correct amount of power to the device. SO I unplugged it from the 120 volt outlet and tried a different outlet around the house, yet it still did not work and I lost all LED indicators on top of the satellite. I have also tried to let it stay unplugged for a while and plug it in a few hours, yet it still does not work.
I am not sure how to reset JUST the satellite, but even if I did, I believe I would still have issues with the power.
What are yout guys' thoughts? Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated. If you need any logs, or details, please let me know as I would be happy to help.
Thank you,
Michael

I tried resetting it multiple times, but nothing worked. It is running the newest firmware.
