RBR750 Orbi without wifi, magenta light

I've had my mesh system for about 2 years now with no issue. My setup has been:

- Spectrum ISP

- 1 Arris Surfboard Modem (basement, not from the ISP)

- 1 Orbi RBR750 Router (basement)

- 2 Satellites (one on first floor one on second)

 

Randomly, today I lost all wifi throughout the house. The only 2 devices on my network I am able to connect to the internet with are my Desktop PC (which is wired via ethernet to the second floor satellite), and a RPi 4B (which is wired via ethernet to the router). All other devices are unable to access the internet while connected to wifi. The Orbi router is showing a solid magenta light. All satellites are showing no lights. The Orbi app is showing a green check next to both satellites, but a red X next to the router and internet symbols. The status for internet on the orbilogin.com home page says "not connected".

 

Things I've done:

- Called my ISP and confirmed there was no outage. They sent a reboot command to my modem.

- Connected a laptop to the modem and confirmed that there was internet coming through.

- Used the Orbi app to reboot the mesh system.

- Checked firmware versions and confirmed it was on the latest version.

- Unplugged the modem, router, and both satellites. Then plugged the modem in, let it boot, then the router, let it boot (booted to a magenta light), then plugged in both satellites.

 

I am unsure what else to do. It's very strange I still have internet access with a magenta light but no wifi. I have not yet factory reset the router and satellites and would love to avoid that if possible, but it seems like that's the only option left.

 

Any other suggestions?

I ended up just factory resetting the whole mesh system and that seemed to fix the issue, very inconvenient solution but at least it worked.

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
