Yes - about 1 minute. I pull the power plug from BOTH the router and satellite(s). Wait a minute or so then I plug in the Orbi router first (wait until it completely powers up with no illuminating light) then I power up any satellites and wait for any lights to disappear before testing the connection.
Again the key IMO is factory resetting setting up the router from scratch. I know it's a PITA but I've done this twice thus far for each fw update I've received since I picked up the Orbi RBK852 and it just works. Your mileage will vary if course. Just an FYI.

Ok, thanks for this info.
Agreed, a factory reset in these cases is needed. Normally a power off of the RBS and RBR is only needed however since v4 has made a mess of this, been hard to troubleshoot this. Seen others posting a reset helped them as well. Will keep this on the table for sure.
Thank you.
Enjoy.
