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 cy...

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?

It is fiber optic cable so not sure about the modem as it is not in the house. I have the latest firmware installed and the router had been working flawlessly for two months and just recently started with the lights.
I would try to power off the ONT where the fiber comes in then connects to the RBR and see.
Any ONT information would be helpful...
Any progress on this?

I have a laptop connected directly through the Fiber Optics so I can compare speeds with the RBR 850. Speeds are comparable from router and the laptop. I have anywhere from 41 to 50 devices connected (depending on kids visiting) and all have good connections with good streaming and content response. There are 5 streaming video cameras attached (doorbell and 4 cameras) which work without a flaw. The only problem I have is the constant light on the router. The satellite has good backhaul connectivity and no led lights.
My setup: Windstream Fiber Optics (1 gig up and 1 gig down)>RBK 852 (V3.2.16.22_1.4.9). This system replaced RBK 40.
