RBR-850 keeps restarting
I bought the router about a year back. Everything was fine it didn't have any issues at all.
BUT since tomorrow, it's suddenly died on me. The main router just keeps blinking white light, gives a wifi signal for a few seconds (the white lights stops and it's no led for that few seconds 10-40secs) and then the router just restarts again. I have factory reset the device, checked the firmware v4.6.14.3_2.3.12 . I upgraded it to latest v7.2.6 also but the behaviour remains the same. Is it dead after just 1 yr?. What can be done now, please help

Re: RBR-850 keeps restarting
Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried the 30-30-30 reset. Router starts, I try set it up and within ~2 mins it starts resetting again.
Sequence as follows : -
I do 30-30-30 reset --- router restarts after reset (white led blinking) ---- (white LED Stable) i connect to wifi via app(android) ---- setup via app ----- setup completes (LED is Off now after Solid White while setting up.[no BLUE LED came on!]) ----- Now wifi is connected on my phone, and suddenly within ~2 mins wifi drops and the router is again restarting with blinking white leds.
Nothing is connected to the RBR, I have disconnected the Satellite. Only thing connected to Router is the power cable and the ethernet cable from the ISP(PPPoE).
I tried with ethernet connected to laptop as well. it just gives me about 2 mins of internet after setup from factory reset and then it just keeps restarting
Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Re: RBR-850 keeps restarting
I guess contact NG support and ask about RMA options:

Re: RBR-850 keeps restarting
DAMN!!
I called them
They are telling they'll get back to me within 48 hrs.
I had such high hopes from this setup, giving up after just 1 yr.

Re: RBR-850 keeps restarting
Thank you for your response.
I will update you once I'm contacted.
Or should call them myself again?
