RBR50's bricking?
Our RBR50 router seems to have bricked itself overnight. The satellite seems fine, but the router will not show any LED rings, and doesn't respond to the factory reset button.
Here's the weird part: I decided to replace it and was fortunate to find soemone selling one + satellite cheap nearby. When I got to his place to test it, it seems his has bricked itself in exactly the same way!
Any ideas what the issue could be? Are other RBR50 users experiencing the same issue?

what is the little led on the back of it doing?
- On mine it remains green. The other guy's seems to be a slightly newer version (the satellite is v2) and does not have the LED on the back.
What modem/gateway/ONT is the router connected to?
A few things to try to pin down the problem.
Have you checked that this is delivering a connection?
Have you tried different power adapters?
Have you rebooted the network in the expected order?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
Just another user with time on their hands.
