orbi RBR50 No SSID broadcast
Orbi RBR50 stopped broadcasting SSID, i tried resetting the router, but didn't help. Please help. I can't even login to get Firmware version.
Whats the power light doing? (color, solid)
Solid Green
What is the led's at the top doing? (color, solid, blinking, etc)
Blinking White ring
Are you able to hardwire in a pc/laptop to the router and access it?
Yes, Modem is working and able to directly connect using my laptop
If the led at the top is blinking white, it means its in factory default mode and needs to be setup.
What do the LEDs on my Orbi router and satellite mean? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Try hardwiring a pc/laptop into the orbi router and going through setup again.
I tried directly connecting to the router using ethernet cable but couldn't connect. So, what is the best way to hard reset or apply the latest firmware? Can I upgrade firmeware using USB?

So, what is the best way to hard reset---sounds like you're already reset. its as simple as pushing and holding reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on. or apply the latest firmware?----If you're logged in, thats the easiest way. If you can't get in, then it'd be using tftp or nmrpflash. Can I upgrade firmeware using USB?---No, you can't upgrade over usb.
