RBS760 Light on all the time
On my RBS760, the blue LED is on all the time. The connection to that satellite is good. How can I get that light to turn off? And if there isn't a setting for that, will NetGear please add that op...
Well, like all electronics, I uplugged it for 30 seconds and plugged it back in. The Blue light was on for a little bit and then went out. Maybe that's all it needed was to be reset. I'll keep an eye on it. It would be nice though if they would allow a setting to disable the light and instead use an app or text notification if there is an issue with the satellite,
What light are you referring too? Front or back?
What color are you seeing?
Front LED behavior is automatic and for normal operation, should be OFF. There is no user settings:

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.

Have you logged into the RBS web page at all with a web browser?
The ring light towards the bottom of the satellite. Mine is currently solid blue and on all the time. F/W ver 6.3.2.4. Satellite is hard wired to router. I have logged in via web browser and app, backhaul status is good.

Is the RBS directly connected to the RBR in back or is there a LAN Patch panel or LAN switch in between?
What CAT# lan cable are you using? CAT6 is recommended.
