My 2nd satellite worked for a few days, but now it constantly blinks white. The router and 1st satellite are fine. My overall WiFi is great. Only the satellite is malfunctioning. I have held down the reset button with a paper clip for varying lengths of time. I have tried the 30-30-30 reset and it still blinks white, but the power led cycles red when I do that. I have unplugged it for 5-10 minutes, plugged it back in, and it still blinks white. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Pulsing white. Your Orbi router and satellite are applying a configuration or updating their firmware.
Since that is unlikely for so long of a time, and if you cannot reset it there is a chance that it is bricked. Did the power possibly go out on it while it was applying firmware?
Thanks's for your response. It's unlikely that it lost power during a firmware update, but I guess it's possible. I have not had the satellite very long so I will try to get it swapped out.
Ha Ha, now having this issue myself after having done a config restore.
Showing one satellite connected - but I can see the other one on the network if I go to its IP.
This is just crazy that this is happening after my support period of 90 days is done and now I have no recourse except to troubleshoot this myself. This is just crazy.
Hmm. Any updates? I just bought this system today and I hooked up one satellite and router. Then I went a upgraded the firmware. Everyone worked fine. I then decided to add the 2nd satellite, however, all it does is just blink white. Did I mess it up by only configuring 1 satellite rather than both at setup? Help.

A factory reset on the 2nd Satellite should kick it into reboot mode with default settings and the LED should start to blink white. If it doesn't, then this Satellite could be faulty.

I appreciate the assistance. If I can't figutre it out in the next 15 min, I'm taking this back to Costco and exchanging it. Just bought the dag gone thing today 😕
Great, now the light is steady green with the same power adapter. But still blinking white. I'm heading off to dinner so I've give it 15 minutes when I get back.

I tried all sorts of ways to get mine to reset. Eventually I came to the conclusion that mine was a brick so I exchanged it for another. My system has worked great since then. You are on the right track to just return/exchange the unit.
