RBR10 losing power
Recently I will lose WiFi and when I check the main orbi the light is off. I unplug the unit and plug it back in, then it connects. Sometimes I have to restart the satellites. Running in AP mode with fiber, v2.7.4.24

Assuming that the one year hardware warranty has expired,correct?
Since the front LED is supposed to remain on, no light at all certainly seems to indicate that the router is not working. The next time this happens, could you first unplug the Ethernet cable and then plug it back in again before unplugging the electrical power?
Are there any 'wired' devices connected to the router? (would there happen to be a laptop with an Ethernet port that could be connected to the router for testing?)
Does the primary router provide status information about the devices connected to it? (for example, does it report the "speed" of the router Ethernet connection?)
Up until last week it was working great, now with it losing power I've ditched it. I've had since 2017, I recently got fiber installed and the router/modem is doing the job. Won't be upgrading to another mesh system for now.
