Orbi RBSE960 Add-on Satellite
The magenta/purple light is the diagnostic code for a failed backhaul handshake. If the satellite's internal radio module or its integrated antennas have suffered a hardware-level gain degradation, it will be unable to synchronize with the RBRE960 router even at short range. Replacing the satellite unit is the only way to restore the proprietary 6GHz backhaul bridge if the hardware is defective.

Shielded CAT6A Ethernet Patch Cable (Wired Backhaul)
In environments with high electromagnetic interference or high-density building materials (like Thermalite), the wireless backhaul may physically fail. An Ethernet cable establishes a 'Wired Backhaul,' which bypasses the radio link entirely and provides a physical layer for IP assignment, effectively resolving the magenta light by removing the RF dependency.

Orbi Power Adapter (12V 3.5A)
Capacitor aging or failure within the switching power supply can lead to excessive ripple voltage. While the unit may appear to power on, the radio transceivers are highly sensitive to voltage stability; 'dirty' power can cause the high-frequency backhaul radio to drop out while low-power status LEDs remain active.
