Router solid Magenta in AP Mode - Fix yet?
So in the interest of not being "that guy" I've just read through basically every post I can find concerning this and still have no resolution that I can find. I've got an Orbi Router in AP mode ...

You have to connect the RBR WAN port to the other LAN source for the top LED to turn off when in AP mode.
ALL RBRs have there own FW based on model #s. 50s differ from 40 series and so on.
Can anything be connected to the RBR WAN port? If I connect the WAN port to my backbone switch than the Wired Backhaul connections stop working. I tried putting a PC on the WAN port, but than one of my Satellite RBS20s dropped off.
These devices are very finicky! Not sure I will be keeping them. I have had the set up for 3 days and have lots of intermitent behaviour.
Overall are you happy with this product?
Was looking at alternative products to NetGear and found this on the LinkSys page:
"NOTE: Velop devices connected to any switch may display incorrect device status in the Linksys app or the web-based setup page. Despite having a connection, you may see a red light or the device may show as offline instead of online, and vice versa."
NetGear and LinkSys have been in the Networking business for over 10 year and cant reliably report on their devices' health. What is with these devices being flaky?
Ahh I see my post is getting resurrected LOL the fix is simple. Return them and go full Ubiquiti and never look back.
