RBR50 powerled RED

 

 

I hope you can help me.

Yesterday I had to reboot my modem (which is in brdge mode). After that, I also did a reboot of my Netgear router.

I restarted the modem, when ready, I restarted my router.

 

After the reboot the power led on the back of my Netgear router is red. Several reboots didn't solve this.

 

A reset with a paperclip on the back wasn't possible. It didn't do anything.

 

Can anyone tell me what this means?

 

Greeting,

Raymond

    If your still wanting to use a 50 series system, might check out places like shopgoodwill, ebay or amazon for any used RBR50s that maybe out there. đŸ˜‰

    I would swap the power plug with one from a satellite and see if that helps.  Otherwise, it seems this router has died.

    Might try a 30-30-30 reset on the RBR and see if this clears this condition.

      That’s what Idid, but nothing happened unfortunately.

       

      I am afraid it is dead.

       

      Thanks for your answer.
