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"...
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.
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 ?
Hi, yes, both the same email address, thanks
- How is Orbi connected to the internet ?
And I assume you have linked the Netgear and Google accounts via assistant ?Hi Orbi is connected to a VM (UK) router in modem mode. I linked the accounts from the Google Home app, explore, search for Netgear and add the account details. Seems to work ok connecting from Google to the Netgear account as I hear the Netgear "this is what you can do .." speech when I ask Google to talk to Netgear.
