Orbi RBS50 Will not factory reset
My Netgear Orbi setup has been nothing but headaches since purchase. Now my Orbi Satellite RBS50 won’t factory reset using the reset button on the back.
I’ve been reading these forums for year...

Well not everyone is having problems with there Orbi systems. Granted Orbi has had issues. Theres a lot of mis-configurations, mis-understanding about how to use Orbi, Modem/router Combo units and managed switches. Most of these problems seen here in the forums have been resolved with alittle help from the community forum members. I for one have an Orbi system and have had ZERO issues with it. I installed a friends Orbi system almost two years ago, zero issues with it as well.
I guess we'll not know was the real issue is with yours. Would only take some help to probably get things going. Not all MESH systems are perfect. Theres many variables that can cause problems. The community can help in some cases. I guess not here.
Good Luck.

Too bad there isnt a "free to good home" section on here for repurposing Orbi's!
