I think you may be right. I am powering the satellite through a 12-gang surge protected board. https://www.bunnings.com.au/hpm-black-12-outlet-general-purpose-surge-protected-rfi-filter-powerboard_p0269582
I am only using 3 of the 12 sockets.
I tested by plugging the satellite power supply straight into a wall socket.
Guess what, no flashing white / blue light cycle. Perhaps the board is causing the Orbi satellite to do this? I'd be keen to know why.

Looks like this surge protector may be the culprit. Can not explain why, but removing it from the equation seems to have resolved the issue.
If this appears to have resolved the issue, please be sure to mark as "Accept as Solution" so that others can see this has resolved their issue should they encounter the same types of problems and search the forums.

The issue is back, no impact on performance, but rotating solid blue and flashing white cycles. Does anyone know what error or state the lights signify in this case?
