Will this model be available in Canada, as the Orbi for outside is not available in Canada. If it will be available, will it be at the same time as in the US, that is, fall 2018?

Hi Jeff,

 

At this time we don't have a date for Canada availability. Please feel free to check back with us in the future.

    Hello,

     

    Will this work with Orbi Pro?

    When will it be available in the UK?

     

    Thank you,

    Kris

      Is it correct that the speaker is AC2200? And sold with BKR50 (AC3000)?

       

      What implications does this have on the network?

        What does that mean? Are asking about the wifi on the RBS40V?

      I would also like to know UK plans.

       

      Also, is the speaker available as a stand-alone unit to add to an existing Orbi-system or is it only available as part of a kit?   

       

      If available stand-alone it would be an interesting proposition.   We have a Google-Home in the kitchen which sits not too far from our Orbi-sat and we use it regularly for radio or spotify while cooking.  Our main gripe is the sound quality from the GH is not great so have been considering an upgrade to something better - this might fit the bill if the price is right (& sound quality is decent)
