Are these the instructions: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBS50Y/RBS50Y_QSG_EN.pdf
Can you please describe what happens at step 6?
Thanks for your reply. Yes, these are the instructions that I am using. At step 6, I get a solid white light, followed by a brief solid blue light, followed by a pulsing white light (never see pulsing white and blue).
