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 ...
Just picked up an Orbi Systems (RBR40 and two RBS20s). Its a finicky set up. I had to factory reset once. Running 2.1.4.16 software. I am using the Orbi set up as APs with wired Backhauls on the satellites and a fixed IP address.
Had the Magenta Ring on my AP since it was connected to my network switch via a LAN port. I read that the Internet WAN port become just another switch port when in AP mode. Wired backhauls did not work if the AP was connected via the WAN port. I plugged my PC ethernet port into the WAN port and the Magenta ring turned off.
I also had an issue with one of my Satellites in a "Config Sync" state. I dettached the wired backhaul, let it sync via WiFi and than reattached the wire. The connected devices screen now shows everything as "Good"
My kits includes an RBR40 and two RBS20 which seems like a Best Buy special. Will the AP run the same sofware as other RBRs?
Lastly, I read good things about the 2.2.x software. How to I get on the Beta for the newest release?
