So after pressing the reset button for 15 seconds then release, you can't access the RBR web page at 192.168.1.1 at all with a wired PC?

Finally it leads in RTFM
My Orbi will not reset or stop flashing white. I have tried to reset it and hard wire to PC, but the PC does not detect it.
I have used the paperclip at least 50 times in hopes to reset.

There is something wrong with the reset function. Other sites have said that maybe it is stuck in updating the firmware. Is that possible?

maybe it would help if you mentioned why you were trying to reset the Orbi?
What type of modem do you have?
