Orbi voice satellite flashing blinking pulsing. Amber color forever. What does it mean ?
Hello. I have the orbi voice rbs40v satellite. It seems to be working right cause I tell Alexa to play music and it does. But I don’t know why it keeps blinking amber orange/yellow color on top of the satellite forever. It’s nonstop and doesn’t go away. My orbi router is downstairs and orbi voice satellite is upstairs. My internet speed is good upstairs at 200 mbps download. I checked my firmware on and they all they no firmware upgrades available. Except what’s weird is the firmware number for Orbi voice Is different than my orbi router.. maybe cause it’s the only one with voice so they needs different firmware? But if anyone’ can let me know how to stop that blinking amber light on my orbi voice satellite please
"Alexa, play my notifications"
It will go away.

According to the Orbi Voice manual, the pulsing and flashing yellow ring LED is related to Alexa functionalities and not to the Orbi satellite operation:
- One-time yellow burst: A notification arrived
- Slow pulsing yellow: You have unread notifications.
- Pulsing amber: An error occurred.
