Router solid Magenta in AP Mode - Fix yet?
So in the interest of not being "that guy" I've just read through basically every post I can find concerning this and still have no resolution that I can find. I've got an Orbi Router in AP mode ...
Plug your cable into the Orbi WAN port and the light will go out.
That doesnt seem to work in my configuration, the Main Router(AP in my case) is plugged into a large Cisco switch not a cable modem.

I don't know why that would matter. The Orbi instructions say to connect to the Yellow Internet (WAN) port in AP mode. My Orbi is in AP mode, and the Yellow Internet port is connected to a Ubiquiti switch, which is then connected to my router.
Maybe power-cycle things after moving the cable to the WAN port?
If you have to leave your cable connected to a LAN port, I read that you can connect anything to the Orbi WAN port and the light should go out, as long as a link is established.
I saw that and tested it with no joy, will give that a go again tonight and see if it actually works this time :)
