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 ...
What is the model # of the Cisco switch? Managed or un-managed type of switch?

Its an SG300-P series managed
This could be the issue. Managed switched have additional features that maybe enabled or inhibiting full access. To test this, directly conenct the Orbi AP mode router to the main host router directly and see the LED remains or fully got out. If so, then something in the managed switch is keeping the Orbi router from fully connecting with data services with the main host router.
Have a non managed switch to test with? A non managed switch is more like a dumb switch, just data all data to where it needs to go with out any filters or configurations.
You might review any support information regarding your model switch to see if there is anything that can be disabled on this switch that would interfere with normal network traffic.
