Orbi RBR50 Non responsive, won't factory reset
After two years of working flawlessly my Orbi RBR50 router stopped working. I have two satellites RBS mdels connected to it. The power light is on and it is green. I tried to cycle the power - did...
So a 15 second press on the reset button and release with out the RBR connected to the ISP modem/ONT doesn't result accessing the RBRs web page at 192.168.1.1 with a wired PC and web browser?
Please make contact with NG support and let them know what happpend.

Holy crap this JUST happened to me too last night. Has anyone heard anything from NG?

I have it hard wired to my RBR and desktop.

I had a problem on a Windows 10 PC where this didn't work to use TFTP, so I switched to a WIndows 7 PC and the TFTP worked.
Try this when tftp didn't work:
