Router light stays Megenta--won't go out. Satellite is white or off
I just switched my Router from Router mode to AP mode. Now the light stays on Magenta all the time, even though the router and the satellite are functioning just fine. What gives? How can I make t...
Great. You are in AP mode.
Now... Move the Ethernet wire so it's connected between a LAN port on your Comcast modem and the Orbi router's Internet port.
Wait 30 seconds or so, and the magenta light should go out.
I just verified this on my own system. Just do it and your problem will be solved.
Well the Orbi is set in AP mode, the IP addresses are assigned by my Comcast Modem Router, and every device can see every device on the network whether wired or wireless. When I tried setting the Orbi in Router mode, the only devices which could see each other were wireless devices on the network, NOT ethernet wired PC's or printers or scanners on the ethernet network.
