I am having trouble setting up my RBS40V as an extender for my RBR50 router.

I am having trouble setting up my RBS40V as an extender for my RBR50 router.

When I turn on my orbi voice extender in orbi mode, the white pulses forever and never goes solid. I have another orbi extender that is a different model and works fine.

You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk). (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)

Many questions apply to different types of device, so there may be useful responses here, However Orbi techology is unlike the basic routers covered here, so you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

Orbi - NETGEAR Communities

and


Orbi Voice - WiFi Meets HiFI - NETGEAR Communities

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.


In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

Probably would not hurt to do a Factory Reset on the RBS40V.
