Orbi Satellite RBS50 Pulsing White Forever
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.

Installed this system November 24th. Worked great, high speed and awesome coverage. Noticed last week the satellite was no longer connected. After attempting to re-sync it, it only flashes white then begins to slowly pulse white. Reset both router and satellite, same thing flashing then pulsing. Held down reset button on each for 30 seconds, no help. Router works fine, just satellite will only flash then pulse white for hours/days, never resets and can't get it to sync (solid white) mode. Best Buy actually laughed and said should have bought their extended warranty, only thing I can do is contact Netgear or sell it on Ebay lol. How do I get a fully functioning satellite again?
