Orbi RBK 853 - Router fron led alwasy withe

Hi All

 

Since 2 days I have an Orbi RBK 853.   

I setup Router and Satelite and it works fine actually!

 

One thing I can not understand ist the the Router RBK850 connected via Lan cable to the Internet Modem works perfectly but the front led is always wite, no blinking just wite.

 

Is this normal?  should I do something else? Usually sould swiss off if everithning is fine isn't it?

 

Thanks for you adwise

Regards Gaspare

    Yes, page 10 of the User Manual states that "solid white" means "The router is resetting to its factory default settings". The front LED is supposed to be off during normal operations.  Something is not right. User Manual is here:

    There is a separate community forum for the new AX WiFi routers.  If you post the question in that forum, people who own that model may have advice to offer.
