RBR750 light keeps flashing white and wifi network is not visible
the light on my router keeps flashing white, the wifi network is not visible to the device but in the GUI shows as OK. The satellites are not showing as connected either.
To provide you with accurate advice, we need some information about your Orbi setup:
1) What firmware is installed on the router (RBR) and the satellites (RBS)?
2) What brand and model modem or optical network terminal (ONT) are you using?
3) How many satellites are installed?
4) What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far, e.g., power cycle, factory reset, etc.?

1. - Firmware RBR750-V4.6.3.7_2.0.49
2. - I don't think it is relevant since it was working for over 2 years without issues same modem and same ISP.
3. - 2 satellites attached.
4. - Troubleshooting:
- Power cycled router and satellites
- Downgraded firmware.
- Restored from backup.
- Factory reset router and satellites.
Internet access worked and works over wire, only the WIFI network is is an issue, neither WIFI network is visible to any of my devices.
What brand and model modem or optical network terminal (ONT) are you using?
What CAT# lan cable do you have between the RBR and modem/ONT? CAT6 is recommended.
Factory reset and setup from scratch with out loading the backup from file.
Power off both RBR and ISP Modem/ONT for 1 minute then back ON with the modem/ONT then RBR.
I have tried setting up the devices from scratch, no luck with that. The base starts blinking white as soon as the Wifi config is saved and the satellites fail to be added.
The wired devices connected to the router have internet connectivity. Any idea why the wireless networks would not be available?
