Satellite white ring pulsing white
I would know why my satellite is pulsing white sometimes. I put one satellite in my bedroom and at nights I can see my satellite ring pulsing white sometimes for few minutes and sometimes for more.
When it happens I watch on my orbi web interface and everything seems alright.
Just to know if its a strange behavior or if its ok.
Thank you

The unit might have rebooted for some reason or encountered some interference and tried to reboot to clear it. Or FW was updated on it automatically.
Log into the satellites IP address/debug.htm and see the UPTIME.
What is the distance between the satellite and router?

No firmware update cause I get the last one since few days : 2.1.4.10 and the orbi router have the same version.
This satellite is connected with 5Ghz to the router at 15 feet (5 meters) max with the connection status : good
Thats too close for the satellite to the router, 30 feet minimum to start...The router alone can cover around 30feet.
