You probably have the ISP Router connected to Orbi's LAN port? In AP Mode you can have the ISP router connected to either the WAN or LAN ports since these are -somehow- bridged in AP mode. However, using the LAN port for ISP Router will cause the router to light magenta.
Please move the cable to the yellow WAN port if you don't like the beatiful magenta light. :)
I already had it attached to the yellow port.
I looked again at the docs and read that purple blinking means no internet connection, but I have a steady purple light.

The router seems -for some reason- not sense the cable in the WAN port. Can you please try to swap the cable with another.
Swapped cable. No result.
Also still didn't find any clue what a SOLID purple light means
Was found in the link provided:
"Solid magenta. Your Orbi satellite ring is solid magenta for 10 seconds if it is unable to obtain the IP address from the router."
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Built in router here by chance?
