Hi,My Orbi satellite recently starting pulsing red and after trying several times to reset the device and looking at tutorials online I have been unable to get it back up and running. The Orbi router is fine and working as normal.I had been advised to update firmware but the Orbi app says no new updates available.Please help

Try a 30-30-30 reset.

If any of this fails, the RBR probably needs to be replaced.&nbsp;

Good Luck.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I’m a tech novice and am struggling to login to Orbi online as it won’t accept admin as the username and my Orbi password.
