Alexa skill
Has anyone been able to get Orbi to work with Alexa? If so, how?

Yes, I got Alexa to work with my Orbi. However, it's not very useful. You can ask Alexa what your wireless settings are (it sends the info and your wifi password as a card to the Alexa app), you can turn on/off the guess network, and you can reboot the router. Maybe there will be more features in the future.
To integrate Alexa, enable the skill and follow the instructions at: https://www.amazon.com/Netgear-NETGEAR/dp/B01MY1A0MS. Be sure to enable Remote Access by using the Netgear Genie app (press the Remote Access icon in the app - Mine is near the bottom, then enable the switch for Remote Access in the next screen).
