Model RBR750 _ No Lights on the Router and Two Satellites

A few hours ago I purchased and installed Orbi Robust Smart Home WiFi - Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 System. It was very simple job and the blue lights on the router and its two satellites looked great.

Unfortunately, when the system was up and running and working, the ligts on the router and the two satellites went off.

Can someone tell me what is wrong?

Thank you.

      This is great when things are working fine but when there is an issue it would be nice to have the option of knowing that the units are actually on and working.  I typically mount my units as high as I can (tall bookshelves, etc...) and being able to look at a unit and know (if it's on, does it have clients connected, etc..) is priceless.  While not a deal breaker it is a nice to have.  I'm spoiled by working with enterprise units and having pretty informative status lights is something I've gotten used to I guess.

        Normal operation is OFF, if you see PINK then means there is a problem. 

         

        These are home class systems, not enterprise. How Orbi systems been designed since the beginning. Users complained that the LED were always ON. Troubleshooting figure the problem out then everyone was happy. Also the back power LED is also another inidicator. Green is GOOD, Amber or RED is bad. 

         

        Enjoy.
