Orbi Satellite Occasionally Lighting Up at Night
I've seen this happening a few times now and would like to understand what is occuring. One of my Orbi satellites is in my bedroom and on a few occasions I've woken up and seen the ring light on ...
Could something be going on with the base station, then? Perhaps it is doing something when this happens. I ask because I've never encountered any problems at other times, though admittedly the ring light would be harder to see during the day.
I can't really move the satellite any closer to the base station, so that's not an option, but the system always reports that it has an excellent connection at this location. Also, if it is losing the signal, why would it take so long to re-acquire it?
Thanks for your answers!

It possibly could be the base unit power cycling may want to check the outlet or power strip the router is connected to.
