Orbi Satellite dead after 2.1.2.18 update
I noticed that my Orbi satellite suddently stopped responding. I logged into the the router and found that it had automatically updated both router and satellite to 2.1.2.18 firmware. However, the satellite was noted as disconnected in the UI. I rebooted both satellite and router to no avail. I then clicked the 'remove' button in the UI to remover the satellite, thinking I could re-add it. I then went to the satellite to get it reset. However, when I power up the satellite, the power light is green but there is never a white circle on the top, nor is there a circle of any color. I attempted to reset the satellite by depressing the reset pin hole. I feel the button depress, but the power light never turns from green to amber. The sync button does nothing. Did the firmware update brick the satellite? Anyone have any ideas?Solved
