Review on NETGEAR Orbi Voice Smart Speaker & WiFi Mesh Extender with Amazon Alexa Built-in (RBS40V) for Seamless WiFi Coverage and Voice Control Integration by Sirious Cavalli

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Easy install Nice addition

We have an Orbi WiFi (RBK50) AC3000 system and after 3 years wanted to add a satellite to cover some of the weak spots in the 3rd layer. Very happy with the result and the coverage. Some features: - It offers 2.4/5GHz coverage. - Easy integration with the Orbi Mesh system - Via the app: change/adjust equalizer, view/control all connected devices, link Revain account, select Alexa language. The Harman/Kandon speaker sounds really good/clear and the EQ can be changed to preset or custom settings. Installation was very easy, just had to wait a bit for it to be available and for updates to arrive. Orbi system, follow the instructions provided. It needs to be switched to Orbi mode, not the standard extender mode (plug in, hold the sync button, while holding, turn on the device, don't release the sync button until it flashes blue and white, with connect to the network until the end before setting up claims via the Orbi app) Alexa: - You may need to sign in to the Orbi website to "enable" it/confirm it's enabled. For some reason it didn't work until we signed up even though it was linked. It currently doesn't work with some Alexa features like drop-in and doesn't appear in the add to music list. Group.
