Orbi router solid magenta (not the satellite)
My Orbi router (not the satellite) stays solid magenta after rebooting. When I login to the router, every parameter looks OK. The router is in Access Point mode and has received an IP address from my...
I am having the same issues. I am using it in AP mode.
I tried going back to 1.4.0.18 but made no difference. System seems to work ok, but annoying magenta ring glowing away!
Your LAN & WAN settings should be greyed out when in AP mode, mine are.
Hello r3v1I0
Have you tried on .34 version I have seen some reports of the issue being fixed on the latest firmware.

Hi DarrenM,
Thanks for the response. I first noticed it after the .34 upgrade, which is why I went back to .18... I am back on .34 now...
UPDATE: I moved the ethernet cable from my Asus router to the Orbi router (in AP mode) from LAN1 to WAN and I no longer have the magenta led ring...
I have the same problem. Also in AP mode and also with .34
I tried the solution of moving the LAN cable to the WAN connection, and it indeed extinguished the light. But it also killed the throughput.
Hi All,
Just got my Orbi set up yesterday. All seemed ok, all lights were off and router reports 2 satellites connected. Today I noticed the router light is solid magenta. I tried re-syncing the satellites and the router light is still magenta. Wifi speed seems to be good so the satelites seem to be working. I'm on .34 firmware and I'm in AP mode. My router lan cable to my actual router is through the WAN port. Anyone else still having this issue ?
Evidently this problem has been going on for some time. So,,,WHAT"S THE FIX??
It's never fixed !!
My situtaiton is the same as what all you guys talking about: If you leave WAN port alone and just connect LAN port, the light of solid magent
keep showing there. If WAN&LAN port are connected by cable, it's vanished and become normally.
Yes, the WAN port will show Magenta LED if it's not connected. I've tired this on mine. LAN port works fine. This is something that may not be fixed as it maybe intended by NG.
