RBR50 light on

I have the RBR50 installed with 2 satellites. Every is working fine. Last night I woke up and saw one of the satellites lights on magenta. It wasn't on when I first went to sleep so it turned on some time in the night. I decided to wait till morning to worry about it - I did nothing. In the morning the light was off and checking the system everything was powered and working ok. Any idea what that was all about? Should try to see whats going on?

  • Solid magenta. Your Orbi satellite ring is solid magenta for 10 seconds if it is unable to obtain the IP address from the router.

    Could have been several things. It could have been the orbi updated and rebooted and the satellite hadn't connected yet. Something could have interfered with the orbi and it lost connection. As long as it reconnects, you're good. here's the listing of what the lights mean.
