question.
Are you sure its the satellite making the noises?
For some reason, my orbi satellite (and router) would make my subwoofer have a soft ticking/clicking noise.
I put my router/satellite on a seperate circuit and it went away. Only had issues with the 1 subwoofer doing it. None of my others. Tried several of them.

Thanks for the response. Yes, it's Orbi. No subwoofer on system, and when I disconnected power from Orbi, clicking stopped. When plugged back in, no sounds as it went through reboot (light flashing), then started again once rebooted.
Thanks

I'll give it a shot. Have to wait until user(wife) gets off computer (home office for wife and I; separate businesses. AM not an IT type, so bumbling my way through troubleshooting problems. :smileyfrustrated:)

Did this issue ever get resolved? I am having the exact same issue. Just installed this today and the AC adapters are making a clicking noise just as described. Tech support at Netgear is not helping resolve this. :/
