Orbi Satellite Occasionally Lighting Up at Night
I've seen this happening a few times now and would like to understand what is occuring. One of my Orbi satellites is in my bedroom and on a few occasions I've woken up and seen the ring light on in magenta. It will stay this way for quite some time, maybe 30 minutes or so and then eventually it will turn blue and stay that way for another several minutes and then the ring light will turn off. Is this normal behavior? I've seen this happen at least three times over the last couple of months. Does this mean the satellite is automatically updating its firmware or is it somehting else? When this occurs, I don't know whether I still have Internet access or not as it happens in the middle of the night and I don't get up to test anything. In the morning, everything is functioning as normal. Thanks for any insight into what is happening that can be provided.
