RBS40V "Dead"?
(I will of course post in the Orbi Voice forum, but my sense is that many of the Orbi forums are not very 'active'.) This morning I discovered that devices connected to my Orbi RBS40V were not re...

Takes me back to the original IBM PC days. When in doubt, turn off the big red switch and restart.
The issue appears to have been somehow related to the Orbi router. One would think after all this time that this would have been one of the first steps. (restart everything)
Turns out my problem solving skills are pathetic.
Is the RBS40V continuing to work fine?
We should add "reboot the RBR and then the satellites" as an easy initial step before doing factory resets and firmware rollbacks as a part of troubleshooting ....

It's only been 24 hours, but everything "seems" OK. Of course, I reset the RBR40V so Alexa had to be set up again. Still have no idea what caused the problem in the first place. I was so confident with the Orbi Voice that I dismantled the network monitor I had set up when the security cameras were networked over PowerLine and then with a Netgear R7000 and then with a Netgear EX3700. Orbi Voice was FAR more stable than either of the previous solutions. (sigh)
