Hello. Last night I realized that my Orbi satellite was not connected, so I attempted a reset on both the router and satellite mutiple times, and now, the satellite keeps pulsing white, never connect...

    Just updating to say I've replaced the hardware via the shop I bought it from (JB-HiFi Carindale FTW!) and am now full armed and operational.

     

    I've set up the new router and satellite and updated the firmare in both to V2.0.0.74. I'm not bold enough to update them manually to V2.1.1.16 yet though.

     

    Good luck to everyone stuck in the eternal booting state.

Had same issue on two systems.  Re-synced and after two tried solved the issue.  Takes a while after amber then goes to blue and then off.  Good luck!

    Nope. It has kept on blinking white all along. It never stops blinking white.
