RBS50 blinks white endlessly, I think I tried everything suggested here OR?

Hi Folks,
It started with not able to sync anymore (magenta).
Tried various reset methods (ao 30-30-30).
Removed the RBS from the connected satelite list.
Reinstalled the firmware via the webinterface of the RBS-50 (via ethernet cable)
Reinstalled a higher version of the firmware similarly
Seemingly installing the firmware is not the problem, as now the RBS50 indeed reports to have V2.7.5.4 installed
Still no connection (now ending magenta).

And after resetting: again endlessly blinking white.
And resetting in different ways: ditto.

Any other suggestions left?

    thanks for the confirmation
    I appreciate it that an expert is willing to respond again on this question (apparently an intrinsic flaw happening in time in Orbi systems...)

    Have you factory reset the RBR and setup the hole system from scratch? 

     

    I presume if a FR and setup from scratch fails and you've done a 30-30-30 reset, possible the one RBS is bad.

      Thanks for the response, but I tried that too...

      The satelite is also not visbible at all (unless I connect it with a cable)

      So I guess it doesn't send any wifi-signal. So I have to give it up 😞

        RBS may need to be replaced. 


        Good Luck.
