What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
You should have a RBR50 as well. The RBS is the satellite that needs to be connected to the base RBR router first.
Please post here in the Orbi forum:

When the power LED blinks red, the satellite may be broken. Here's what Netgear's web site says about the power LED:
Router and satellite power button LEDs
Solid green. Your Orbi router and satellite are powered on.
Solid amber. Your Orbi router and satellite are rebooting.
Pulsing amber. You must reset your Orbi router and satellite to factory default settings.
Pulsing red. Your Orbi system might need attention. Contact support. - FURRYe38Apr 22, 2019Guru - Experienced User

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?factory reset the router using the back push pin button. Hold it in until the top led turns on AMBER then let go. Wait for the WHITE led to slowly pulsate, then press the black sync button on the back of the RBS and RBR. Wait for the top led on the RBS to turn BLUE.
Let us know if you can get to this stage or not.
