Orbi RBR40 integration with Google Assistant
Hi, I have an Orbi RBR40 with 2 satellites Firmware shows as 2.0.0.56 with no update available. I have just set up my Netgear account to work with Google assistant and whilst I can "talk to netgear" and get responses, all the responses are "Your netgear router is offline, make sure your netgear router is connected...." As i'm accessing this page through the router it clearly is online, can any one offer any thoughts?
Managed to sort this out, slightly embarrassing really, there is remote management which I had enabled but there is also remote access which appears to be on the Genie app only. Once that was turned on Google and Netgear play nicely together! Thanks for all help and advice.

I'd contact NG support about this. Maybe a Google issue as well.
- Are you able to remote manage the Orbi using Orbi app on 3/4G ?
I assume you have enabled remote management.Hi, thanks for the response, remote management is enabled and I can connect and login via my phone on 3/4G,
- Hi , is your Netgear account the same email address as google ?
There is new Beta FW for the 40 series models:

- Thanks for the heads , have you tried it?
Working well for me on my 40 series model.
Factory reset and set up from scratch is needed.
