Does the RBK50V2 (non-voice) have and use Bluetooth?
I see conflicting info in reviews (which are 1-2 yrs old and may not be about v2). Does RBK50V2 have Bluetooth? If so, how is it used? Thx. Aloke
Nope.

The bluetooth in the original Orbi was never used (just as using the USB port to attach hard drives "never happened").
The major difference between the first and second versions of RBK50 seem to be the amount of memory. Looks to like they discovered that in actual practice Orbi's were not using all of the memory they put in, so they substituted less expensive chips.
Somebody probably had a plan to do "something" with bluetooth when the Orbi was being engineered, and whatever that was never materialized.
Might have helped to connect to the units locally for setup or troubleshooting ...
So, no BT on the RBK50V2?
Nope.
