RBS50Y blinking amber for 30 seconds then off then amber again for 30 seconds
My outdoor Orbi is working great but will blink orange for 30 seconds then off for 30 seconds and do this forever. I read something about a warmup when cold out but that should only do this for 15 mi...

LED is off so of course there is no white light just the amber light that comes every 30 seconds flashing as noted, even though LED is set to off. There is no need to climb a tree, no idea where that comment is coming from. Trying to get rid of the super bright beacon that runs all night. If someone is aware of a real method to turn this problem off for me please share.

If the white LED is set to "off", then I would cover the amber LED until the weather changes. Sorry about the ladder. I don't usually mount outdoor electronics where they are easy to reach. That was a silly assumption on my part.
If the RBS50Y doesn't "come alive" when the temperature is clearly above -4F where the device is mounted, maybe it's time to make a warranty claim for a replacement?
