RBR20 doesn't work
Buy an RBR20 and 2 satellites 3 months ago, I have weeks that disconnects from the internet without explanation, I have read in the forum that many have this problem, say some solutions that works fo...
did you try the 2nd set of suggestions? have you tried doing the tftp procedure on it? it forces the firmware to it. This fixes the majority of flashing power problems.
If that doesn't work the only other utility is nmrpflash.

My modem is Huawei HG8245H5
The firmware is 2.3.5.26. The led the router have the color white.
I don't can to access the router when i hardwired into it.
The materials of my house is concrete armed, but this not is the problem.
The distance of the satellites is the 20 meters
I did tests by putting a previous firmware on it, but it didn't work.
By armed concrete you mean reinforced (rebar) concrete?
So a couple things.
1. the Huawei HG8245H5 is a combo device. It has built in gateway/modem and a router. So if you're running it in router mode and the orbi in router mode, you'll be in a double nat which can cause all types of issues. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
2. The armed concrete you say isn't a problem? If your interior walls are armed concrete it is a problem. A single wall of armed concrete can almost completely block a 5ghz wifi signal. It reduces signal levels by 53db according to the testing I've read. 2.4ghz is going to penetrate a little more due to the very nature of 2.4ghz but by its nature its much lower bandwidth (slower). But even with that said, the concrete is going to block a significan portion of the 2.4ghz as well. The issue would be the orbi backhaul uses a 5ghz signal and can fall back on the 2.4ghz if there's issues. concrete would be one of those issues but it'll have a lower signal level and lower bandwidth so kind of ruins the point of a wireless mesh network.
If you have concrete interior walls, you're going to want to look at setting up some type hardwired backhaul or it doesn't matter what you get, it'll have issues.
- In terms of getting it working again:
1. Have you tried a factory reset? Push and hold the rest button 7-10 seconds?
2 didn't work? You can try restoring via tftp. If your on windows, make sure to enable tftp from your settings. A common mistake made is not enabling it.

https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10 I understand the first point, but it is not running in router mode and I understand what you say about armed concrete, but my problem is not signal, is that the router orbi has no internet, does not show the wifi network and also local by means of a LAN cable , does not allow me to reset it from factory, the light always flashes and I can not do anything else.
