I have a similar issue with my RBR850 but I'm on V7.2.6.21
flyingdutchgeek I have a similar issue with my RBR850 but I'm on V7.2.6.21, wired backhaul and every time I look at the satellite its either magenta, white and blue. I disabled the firmware update...
Have you factory reset the system first, the first wirelessly let the RBS sync to the RBR. Then once set up and synced good over wireless, then ethernet connect them?
Something I always do with my Orbi systems, wireless sync first, then ethernet connect.
What CAT# LAN cable is being used between the RBR and RBS?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.I ran my 853 system on v.21 as well for a long time when v.21 was new. Was best and most stable FW to date. My RBS were ethernet connected as well.
Sounds like a lot of effort. Cat6, Like the OP it's wired so not certain why distance is an issue, it has been working fine, just the last few weeks and now almost solid.
