RBR850 disconnected internet and constant Amber power LED
Hi,
This morning, my Internet dropped out.
After doing all my normal processes of powering off the Modem and router, I still couldn't connect to the internet.
I noticed that the ORBI satellites were still showing a magenta LED.
I went back to the ORBI RBR850 and noticed that it didn't have it's LED lit at all, which is not unusual when it's working, but I also couldn't find it as a WiFi network
When I looked at the back of the ORBI RBR850 I noticed that the power light was a solid Amber, and it had been this way for at least 10 minutes.
I attempted to do a Factory Reset, but the power light has just stayed a solid Amber. Not blinking.
Any help would be appreciated.

Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.

Turn on computers and rest of network.1. Don't know, as I can't access the device
2. I live in Australia, and it is an NBN NTD
3. I have been using the provided Ethernet cable that came with the ORBI Devices when I purchased it
4. there are 2 satellites
5. I don't know as I live in Australia, and we don't think in Square feet, but it is much less than the recommendation of an ORBI RBR850 with 2 satellites
6. Yes
When I plugin and power up the ORBI Router, the Power LED on the back lights up Orange and stays a sold Orange. It has been this way for at least 30 minutes now.
You'll need to establish this information so we can better help you diagnose whats happening to the system.
