RBK752 Satellite LED behavior

The LED light on my satellite turns on at random times. I thought this was just an initial synching thing. Anyone know if this is normal or what it means?

  • What color(s)?

    What is the color sequence and flashing pattern?

    Can also be a reboot after a momentary power glitch. These satellites are very power sensitive. Mine haven't rebooted randomly since connecting them to UPSs.
  • 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?

     

    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 wirelessly connected.
