RBS50Y blinking amber for 30 seconds then off then amber again for 30 seconds

What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

Take the RBSY inside and see if it does the same thing...

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 minutes. Temp is about 10 degrees F. I need to turn this off as a huge risk for someone to steal the device when flashing like a beacon at night.

 

Any ideas? I might just be stuck covering it up which is crazy for this expensive of a unit.
