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 rebooted just the router and havent had the magenta light come back on the router as yet. I didnt re-synch the satellite.
Darren, is there a way to stop automatic updates of the firmware? I have everything running ok. It was a delicate balancing act but Im happy on my system to stop right where I am.
Amazon Alexa is not dropping off. My LIFX bulbs are effectively staying on the system, I have had a bulb drop off but no worse than my old router. I have full 100Mb internet to the three areas I want them at (Home Office, Home Theatre Room and Living Room).
Like i say, its a delicate balancing act but its working. I dont want to stuff up things with firmware updates that might work for someone elses set up but not mine.
I have the same problem: My Router is in AP mode, is working fine (strong WiFi Signal), but the light is solid magenta. The satellite is solid white. How do I make the solid magenta light go out? I have the latest firmware installed. No problems on the system, but don't think the ring light should be solid magenta.
I too have the solid Magenta on the router with the latest firmware. It the system has also been very unreliable, so much so I also turned on my Comcast WiFi to act as a backup.
In AP Mode where should the cable box be plugged into - The WAN or LAN ports?
What is Netgear's response to why the Magenta is on solid when that is not mentioned in the literature?
Hi DESli1
If you "cable box" is making the network connection for your home from Comcast then it should be plugged into the WAN port since it supplying the TCP/IP packets from your ISP. However, if you "cable box" is just a client that plays video to your TV, like an Apple TV or Roku, then it should be on the LAN port.
