RBS 40 Orbi Mini Satellite - Solid Magenta color (Wireless)
My satellite was working fine until this morning. This has happened to me before but trying again with no luck.
I have done the three reboots versions on the satellite
7 seconds
30-30-30
7-7-7

This worked last time.
When connecting the satellite via ethernet cable directly to the router a steady blue light is show and then it turns off. It works perfectly then when connected. (It all shows green in the app)
Then I unplugged it and it's not working again. Solid Magenta on wireless.
My thinking is: I try to first stay close to the router and connect wirelessly but can't get it to work properly, so I hook up with ethernet so that the settings get straightened out in the satellite, that should work right? And then remove cable, start it up, hit synch on router and synch on satellite to match. And then move it to my room and try same. Right?
My set up is: A router and two satellites. One in the living room (that has always worked perfectly and one in my room, which once in a while messes up đ this is the second time this happens.)
So the router and the other satelitte work well. So as I see it the problem must be on this satelllite.
Any thoughts?

If you have issues with the satellite even when the satellite is close to the router, then the issue can either be in the satellite or a general IP issue. The satellite needs both radio connectivity as well as IP connectivity.
What is the make and model of the ISP router to which Orbi router is connected please?
What other devices' types do you have in the network? Any wifi repeaters, any mesh speakers, any devices that can act like DHCP servers,....?
