Orbi CBK750 indicator lights not working
The Orbi is still working. BUT, all the indicator lights on the front of the device are off. It started with just the Online LED went off. Then the Upstream LED went out followed a few weeks later when the Downstream LED went out. Now not even the Power LED is on. But the device is running just fine; both the hardwired internet connection and the WiFi are all working. But no indicator lights. Anyone else have this issue? It's beyond the warranty period. Any advice? Thanks.

Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status and event log page.

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router and satellites been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network. - CrimpOnGuru - Experienced User

This is confusing. The CBR750 User Manual, page 102 appears to say that it is normal for ALL of those LED's to go off.

Front facing LEDs are modem indications for the modem side of the unit. These should ON always. The bottom LED nearest the footing is the Orbi router LED, this one should be OFF when working normally. Back Power LED should be alwasy ON as GREEN.
