RBR50 dead
Any ideas for an ORBI RBR 50 that is reduced to only a green power light? I don't even get links on ethernet connections. When I do a factory reset procedure on it I get a brief moment in time the fa...
have you tried a factory reset? Push and hold reset for up to 30 seconds while powered on.
If that doesn't help, you can try recovering it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

- I’ve tried multiple factory resets. Tftp is a no go. Can’t even get an Ethernet link.

And saying its a no go doesn't tell us what failed if you did try it. Or even if you tried nmrpflash.
And sometimes with both, it takes a few attempts because they're sensitive to timings.
- Yes, when I say there is no link it’s at the level 2 tier. The hardware won’t even activate to the point an IP address can be set. Same as having an air gap. And I did test with multiple cables and Ethernet adapters.
