RBS850 Orbi satellite's ring LED doesn't work
The Orbi satellite's ring LED doesn't work. AC adapter plugged in power LED indicator turned on.
Performed reset to default, the Orbi satellite's ring LED still doesn't work.
Disconnect the RBR from the ISP modem/ONT. Conect 1 wired PC to the LAN port of the RBR. Disconnect all other LAN cables from the RBR.
Press the back reset button for 15 seconds then release. Observe the front LED. Does it turn ON and start blinking?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Do you mean the front LED?
It should turn ON and blink WHITE for a bit then maybe turn OFF...

Yes, ring LED means front LED.
How can i know the satellite is up and running EXCEPT LEDs indications? becuase there's no LEDs turns on or pulsing white.
Not sure is firmware or hardware issue? i also tried Ethernet backhaul connection but still failed.
Is there any utility that i can use? i tried APP and login "http://orbilogin.com." but still unable to add / link satellite.
is there any way to upload/update the firmware to satellite using wired connection? becuase the satellite didn;t update the firmware quite long.
thanks for helping me out.
