I’ve spent days trying to fix this and have spend additional money for support. The base router is unable to reset and turn ‘Amber’. I believe this item has been recalled. I’m 8 days past Best Buy’s return policy and I’m out around $400. I’m unable to run my thermostat and other devices. I’m unable to sign into my account or reset my password.

Press the back reset button for 15 seconds then release. Do this with the RBR disconnected from the ISP modem. Can you access the RBRs web page at 192.168.1.1 in a web browser with a wired PC connected to the RBR?

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
