Alexa skill
Has anyone been able to get Orbi to work with Alexa? If so, how?
I couldn't turn remote access from the Netgear Genie app. I had to orbilogin to turn it on online, then i could actually make it work with Alexa. Like prior person said very limited. As far as i know and tried myself. I can tell to give me the wifi password (which is the same as wifi settings), turn on and off the guest network which in reality you could easily do with the app.
Enabled remote access using orbi login and the Alexa skill still doesn't work.

Note that it's not the "Remote Management" toggle (i.e., mine is still off). Try setting "Allow Remote Access By" to Everyone.
What did you try and what does your Alexa app show?
Or better yet, run the Netgear Genie app as stated in the instructions. Does it say "connected to RBR50"? Press that and then do you see the Remote Access icon? Press it and set the Remote Access toggle to on.
The the app says to follow the instructions at http://www.netgear.com/alexa. Go to your Alexa app. Go to Home... Skills. Search for "Netgear". Click on the Netgear result and press "Enable Skill" button.
