Orbi RBR40 integration with Google Assistant

    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.

    Working well for me on my 40 series model.

     

    Factory reset and set up from scratch is needed.
