Hello all, after about 3 years my wifi started acting up, so i power cycled my system. now i cant connect or anything to my RBR50, just like this video https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DCk8iw52QB4
Is there anyone who know a way i can reconnect to my device and explain it to me like im new here, been using 5 days on this and for this expensive system it should work better, its probably a firmware problem. there is no light what so ever on the top, but there is that green power on it. please help

Re: RBR wont load anything and cant connect to it
Have you tried a factory reset and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser?
Can a wired PC connect to the RBR? Does it get internet services?
What devices are you using?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Did you press the reset button for 15 seconds then release and see if you could access the RBRs web page at 192.168.1.1 after the top ring started to pulsate WHITE?
Can't be sure that FW would have broke your unit.

Re: RBR wont load anything and cant connect to it
There is no light at all in the top, and it only lights green when there is power on, the satelite can reset and works pretty much as expected, but i cannot figure out how to connect to my main RBR, i tryed 192.168.1.1 and 10.0.0.1 and .com and .net with orbilogin, even plugged in directly into my PC and no going throug a bridge

Try swapping the power adapter with the RBS to see if anything changes.

Last resort then:
https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
Need to press the reset button for 30 seconds then release, then it send to PUT the command and upload the FW.
Make sure you enable tftp: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10
Video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done:

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 nmrpflash:

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Is-my-13-month-old-RBR50-bricked/m-p/2011090/highlight/true#M1...
If any of this doesn't bring the RBR back, I would presume the RBR needs to be replaced.
Good Luck.

Try the nmrpflash as well. If fails, get the RBR replaced.

Re: RBR wont load anything and cant connect to it
This may seem silly, but do you feel or hear the click? There is a tiny push button switch on the circuit board that is supposed to line up with that tiny hole.
The Ring LED at the top of the case is supposed to go through a sequence of pulsing, abruptly turning on/off, etc. for about two minutes until it finally displays either blue or magenta for two minutes. After that, no light at all.
https://kb.netgear.com/31030/What-do-the-LEDs-on-my-Orbi-mean
I have found that TFTP is really sensitive regarding timing. There is a short window of time during the power up when the router listens for a TFTP connection. Too early, and there's no response. Too late, also no response. The "sweet spot" is not very long.
On one occasion, it took me six attempts to get firmware to load.

Re: RBR wont load anything and cant connect to it
There is a chance that nmrpflash is more sophisticated than TFTP and does not require precise timing. (Those six attempts were a demoralizing effort until, Voila!, it took.)
Not much to lose except time and patience.
