Turn off lights on Orbi Satellite
I have an RGR40 router with 2 satellites. One is in our bedroom. Is there a way to turn the lights off on the satellite in our bedroom. The light is too bright at night.
So are saying that if the connection is consistantly good, there is no reason for the amber light to go on and the satelitte should stay dark with no lights on?
Yes. Normal operating good connection is no light. Check the utility Attached Devices and see what the backhaul status is on the satelite. If you are having amber light your connection may be weak due to distacnce (30' minimum up to where your connection degrades), or structural materials. Maybe.
Thank you.... The satellite does show an amber status on the app on my phone. I will try moving it a bit closer and see if that helps.
Great. Not too close though. Ideally you should be no closer than 30 feet away from the router. Stud and drywall should not be a problem for impediments but going through a kitchen full of appliances, or brick or concrete or steel structure could give some issues.
