Purple ring on satellite when adding a net work cable
Hi all, been looking around and could not see anything, so apologies if this is answered. Prior to firmware update V2.7.2.104 which I got given last week, my entire setup worked fine with the ro...
Thanks for the reply.
Thought I had managed to solve it whenI noticed the guest network was broadcasting but no luck. Looks like I might have to revert to old firmware today and see how it goes

If you do revert, perhaps you can share your expereince. I imagine there are lots of folks in the same boat with firmware issues.
So here is an update.
Decided to not revert and try a few things. did a complete factory reset and rebuilt everything step by step, adding 1 satellite at a time with nothing connected. Added all Lan cables back and everything seemed to work.
I then let everything settle for a bit just in case and had no issue at all. This was all with router mode. Switched to AP mode as that is what I had before and the issue re-appeared. Not sure why that happened, but switched it back to router mode and it is stable.
This works for me for now albeit not ideal. I might leave it a few days and turn AP mode back just to see what happens

Nice work....only 2 questions on my part.....what firmware did you end up with and why the AP mode? Maybe I missed something.
So stuck on the latest firmware (2.7.2.104). I now have a double NAT situation with my ISP router and the RBR50. Not the worst thing in the world,m but when it was in AP mode it did not have that problem.
Admittedly nothing is now connected to the ISP router other than the Orbi router and turned off WIFI adn SSID broadcasting on ISP as well.
ISP also does nto have bridge mode which is a shame
