Orbi S50

The main router of the Orbi S50 started blinking white, I’ve tried all the recommended methods to fix it, rebooting using the restarted button etc but there is no wifi signal that I can connect to to...

Hello David152 ,

Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!

I understand that you are having issues with your RBS50. The flashing lights are an indication that the satellite firmware may be different than the router. Please log into your satellite and ensure that it is on the current firmware version 2.7.5.4. If it is not please manually update your satellite to the firmware version 2.7.5.4. Please be sure to select the firmware under RBS50 from the attached link.

For step-by-step instructions on how to manually update your RBS50 please navigate to the link below:

Thanks Kevin,

two problems that I'm having,

1. the power light is flashing at the back of there router;

2. there's no wifi signal to be able to connect to to download to or be able to Log into

3. when I tried to down load the firmware update you provided it said wasn't able to, was corrupt or such

4. when I typed in searched on my account for firmware update nether replied there's no firmware update for my serial number any more

does this mean its stuffed and have to buy a new one?

thanks, David
