RBR850 router led light is solid white
My RBR850 router is working fine but the led light is on solid white (the large led light at the bottom of the router).
How can I get it to turn off? I've done all I can think of - reboot, power cycle, firmware update, factory reset but
it's still on solid white.

Thank you.
I also have a RBR850 router with a solid white light displaying. At first the router has a pulsing white light. I did a hard reset and now it has a solid white light. It seems to be working fine with either situation, but alas it is not supposed to be on. I followed the directions in this thread and when I went to the edit section of the satellite, there was no button to turn the led on and off. I must confess I was confused as to how turning the led on and off on the satellite would impact the light on the router, but thought it was worth a shot. So my router has been operational without a hitch for 28 days with the solid white light. Any other suggestions on how to fix it or where to find the elusive led light on/off switch in the software?
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?Does the front LED turn off when you log into the RBRs web page with a PC and web browser?
