Constant Amber Power LED
Trying to set up the ORBI Router for the first time, the router when plugged into the power supply the power led light stays in a solid amber state. I have tried swapping the power supply with the satellite unit no change. Both power supplies power up the satellite unit.
I have tried utilizing the ORBI app to set up but the router is not sending out a WiFi network signal.

What model Orbi do you have?
If you just got it, you may need to return it for another set.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?fPower OFF the RBR and disconnect it from the modem and ALL other wired devices. Power ON the RBR by it self. Does the back LED remain amber? Give it a good minute to see if it turns GREEN.

Thanks again for supporting, I am home for the afternoon and I will attempt to learn and understand as I am not the most technical savvy as I assumed Y'all have assumed.
I have pulled out the MACBOOK and I have attempted to update the firmware from this suggested page: https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
I also attempted your suggestion and and downloaded from this site and all I can get is the source code and process completed in the Utilities app, Sorry I am ignorant on how to show you a print screen.

Somewhere I read that I need to update the firmware on the satellite receiver before the router.
