My Orbi router shows purple on its ring from time to time; it stays that way for a while, but not for all that long. No apparent loss of functionality when this occurs. I'd like to know what this means. Thanks to anyone for their responses.
FW: 2.1.4.16
Router is in router mode.
Any other information about the router needed, please ask.
Purple ring indicates the Orbi router lost contact with the Internet, even momentarily. Either your ISP-modem connection went down, or your Orbi router to modem connection went down.

I don't know if this helps you with a solution or not. The modem/router combo unit is strictly set up as a modem. I disabled all router capabilities on this unit when I first received it.
So I don;t know if this affects your response or not. Please let me know.
Ok, had to see what mode the modem was in.
