Orbi's purple light indicates various statuses depending on its behavior. It commonly signals a firmware update in progress, where the light blinks purple during the update process. Once complete, the Orbi system typically restarts, and the light turns solid white or blue, indicating normal operation. Alternatively, a pulsing purple light might indicate a connection issue or initial setup mode, prompting users to verify internet connectivity or complete the setup process through the Orbi app. Understanding these signals helps users troubleshoot effectively and ensure their Orbi system operates smoothly for optimal Wi-Fi performance.
