new orbi issue. Satellite just restarted and not won't connect to the router. Purple light. I know bring it closer but why should I? I'm typing this on a laptop that's further away from the router than the sattelite and it works just fine being connected to the router itself. So why for the flying fu*k can the satellite not connect? I'm on V2.1.2.18 and no new updates are available. This product is shockingly bad. Should be recalled

done all that numerous times with no luck. We're basically back to the issues I had at the beginning where the internet on the satellite would drop and the ring would not even light up. Restarting it fixes the issue for a few hours.
I've honestly had enough and bought a ubiquity access point. Will run cables all round the skirtings but f*ck it. At least it'll work! bye netgear, never buying another piece of sh*t product from you again. Orbi going in the bin where it belongs

Re: wtf is going on
I think I would update to the latest FW 2.1.3.4 and see if that made a difference. However, if this just all of a sudden happend I would think there is a HW error.

Re: wtf is going on
What model Orbi system do you have?
How are the satellites placed? Distance from the router? Ft?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the router is connected too? Any built in router here?
Need more information here. Others have set up there systems just fine.

Re: wtf is going on
Power OFF the router and satellite. Then power ON the router first then satellite.
Try manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 48 on 5Ghz
Try placing 30-40 feet..

Might try to sell it on ebay or something.
Good Luck.
