Satellite blue light stays on with my RBS50 orbi wifi setup

when I first set-up my orbi wifi, the satellite showed blue, proving a good connection, and then the blue light went off. now, several months later, the blue light is on and won't go off at all. everything is still working and wifi is still good thru-out house, but why is the light back on? not sure, but maybe someone in house (maid?) moved it or unplugged it momentarily, which may have caused light to stay on? would like it off as it is bright at night! thanks!

    Have you tried to unplug it again?

    Any feedback on this? I'm having the same issue. All is working fine but the blue light on the satellite is always on.

      hello there...  yes someone did respond to my question, and suggested i simply unplug the satellite for a few minutes and plug it back in...  it works!  i feared i'd have to start all over but somehow it all re-connected to the home base automatically.  the blue light went back on, then off, and has been off since.  good luck!
