Orbi RBS50Y Will Not Connect
6 Replies
What are you trying to connect it to?
Router?
What firmware is on the RBS50Y?
Are you trying to connect it in Orbi mode or in Extender mode?

RBS50Y boots up, flashes white for about 1 hour, then turns solid white. I beleive the firmware may be corrupt. Is there a way to TFTP a new software to this unit? I have tried connecting to my RBS50 system multiple times but it will not connect.
Solid white usually indicates its booted and ready to sync. Pulsing white usually means its booting.
Pulsing blue is booting/changing to extender mode. Solid blue means its ready to sync.
Try changing its modes maybe the firmware for extender mode works fine. It'd at least let you get it booted and maybe update firmware.

Holding synch button while powering on.... Pulses white, never blue, then goes to solid white. Basically no change.
