Orbi - no light adjustments?
Hi All!
I just set up my RBK 53S that I bought at Costco.
The manual states that when clicking on one of the Satellites names under the devices menu, there are light adjustments for the LED lights.
The issue is that I do NOT see any adjustments whatsoever on the "Edit Device" page. All that's shown on that page is a table with:
- IP address
- MAC address
- Device Model
- Device Name
Has anybody else experienced that issue, and is there a solution?
Thanks for any help!

This may have been a feature that NG supported however has long since removed and NG hasn't updated the manual.
Orbi systems don't support any LED adjustments. The top ring LED is OFF when the Orbi system is working in normal operations. So no need for any LED adjustments.

If your top ring LED is ON then there maybe a problem.

Thanks a lot!
Wow! I was on the phone with support for almost an hour (many hold periods), and at the end the support person suggested a complete reset and new firmware installation (same version, as I am up to date).
I am glad I did not go ahead with that.
Again, thanks for the help! Weird that they would not update the manual.

A reset is mostly need if there are problems or if problems arise have a FW update.
Enjoy.
