RBR40 - LED RING pulsing green, factory reset not working
Hi, hoping someone can help please. My ORBI router stopped working overnight and the Router LED RING is pulsing green. There's no mention of this on any of the troubleshooting guides. No matter how...

Try a recovery of the RBR. Have the RBR FW already downloaded.

Need to press the reset button for 30 seconds then release, then it send to PUT the command and upload the FW.
I had a problem on a Windows 10 PC where this didn't work to use TFTP, so I switched to a WIndows 7 PC and the TFTP worked.
If this fails, please contact NG support for additional help and information.

Hi FURRY thanks for advice. I am using Mac OS. Not sure what you mean with PUT.
