purple
2 TopicsWhat does purple on the router (not satellite) mean?
I've had the Orbi system up for a few days now, but someone who was home through the day today (while I was at work) noted that a couple of times through the day, the purple LEDs on the Orbi unit came on - once "for a brief while" (I'm assuming 3 seconds) and another time "flashing". I'm set up in AP mode. I know that if the satellite does this, it's having trouble syncing with the router (even though the connection seems solid and less than 15 feet separate them between floors) - what does it mean if the router itself shows purple? Also (and almost certainly unrelated), I've noticed a number of "Internet connected" entries in the logs on an otherwise completely-solid gigabit connection (without any accompanying disconnected messages) - are these generated on DHCP lease renewal (by the router itself)? They appear to be rather evenly spaced apart. RodneySolved
