Orbi rbr50 router magenta

I have to constantly reboot the router to fix this magenta light. I've rebooted 4xtoday after working from home. All problems started after I received a software update a couple of weeks ago. Any suggestions on how to fix? Seems like it impacts mobile phones and iPads more than desktop.

Have you tried to change your Ethernet cord going between the modem and router?

When my router is magenta I reboot my modem which fixes my problem.

Since upgrading the firmware to 2.0.0.74 I have been experiencing trouble with the router.  In the past week I have had to reboot the router because it has a solid magenta light.

The only time I have seen a magenta ring on my router is when the modem is out.  Once the modem comes back, the magenta ring goes away.
