RBR750 No connection/solid magenta

RBR750 dropped connection at 5:00am today with solid magenta ring.
Rebooted multiple times to no avail.
Hard line connection to modem from laptop is fine.
Satellites show they are fine.

Firmware update fails from app every time I attempt. Currently running 4.6.5.14_2.0.54.

Any ideas or is it bricked? System is only 13 months old.
  • Issue persists with CAT6 cabling.

    Found a newer CAT5 in a stash of cables & used it after a factory reset of router & all satellites.

    Factory reset & adding satellites back in one by one by using the app AND pressing sync on the router PRIOR to sync on the satellite seems to have solved the issue.

  • 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.

    Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

     

    Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
    Turn off and unplug modem.
    Turn off router and computers.
    Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on computers and rest of network.
