RBS50v2 satellite pulsing red power
My Orbi satellite recently starting pulsing red and after trying several times to reset the device and looking at tutorials online I have been unable to get it back up and running. The Orbi router is fine and working as normal.
I had been advised to update firmware but the Orbi app says no new updates available.
Please help

Need to press the reset button for 30 seconds then release, then it send to PUT the command and upload the FW.
Make sure you enable tftp: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10
Video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done:

Try nmrpflash:

Try a 30-30-30 reset.
If any of this fails, the RBR probably needs to be replaced.
Good Luck.
