Orbi Satellite Will Not Factory Reset or connect to router?
Thought I would try the wired backhaul on my setup again. Wrong move doing so has bricked the satellite. Pushing the reset has no affect power light never changes from green. Also no halo lights ever come on. I have searched without sucess for this issue.
So is there a way to rorce a reset other than pushing the reset button with a paper clip. Firmware on the router is V2.2.1.210
A unrelated probem is Firefox will not load the firmware screen. I have to use Microsoft edge.
Not sure if this will work:

I recommend you contact NG support and have them help you with the satellite. Possible it may need to be replaced.

It is out of warranty and the cost the replace just a satellite is only $25.00 less than a whole new set. I would still like to fix this if at all possible. I have seen links where you can use telnet for firmware updates on the router. Wondering if that is possible on the satellite?
I have already bought a replacement. But if I could fix this I could sell the old set to help get back some money.
