RBR50 satellites have gone orange, normally green

On the Orbi app my satelites both just went orange!  They have always been green.  Tried restarting them but no good.

 

Any ideas how I can get my green back community?

 

Thanks

thanks for the reply.  There is no colour showing on the actual hardware.  Just orange in the app

many on here have reported problems with the app.

 

your best bet is to login via pc to your Orbi router for network status

Before giving up on this topic, it might be worthwhile to turn the satellite off and back on, then watch the color of the "ring" light.  This web page indicates that the satellite ring light will turn various colors as it boots up.
