Orbi Voice and Amazon Echo speaker groups
Hi, I have an Orbi Voice as part of my whole Orbi setup compromising of 1 x RBR50 router and 2 RBR50 satellites and then the 1 x RBS40v Orbi Voice. When trying to create a speaker group in Amazon Alexa, the Orbi Voice is showing in Alexa app and states it needs a firmware update. But when I login to Orbi via browser on orbilogin.net the advanced admin settings states ‘no new firmware available’ it’s currently on V2.2.1.92 anyone got advice please?

great thanks. so tisonly worked via manual update of firmware, really important to read release note, as you HAVE to install a 'temporary fix' firmware before the proper firmware update,
thanks
- Unfortunately the firmware update still hasn’t fixed the issue. I’m guessing this could be an amazon issue?
Hi metime
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
The Orbi Voice does not support Multi-Room-Music feature. We encourage you to post a suggestion to this page: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-For-Home/idb-p/idea-exchange-for-home

- I recently purchased Orbi Voice with the intention of adding it to my Alexa speakers. Is there gonna be a firmware update to make this possible?
- Well that’s just crazy! I’ll contact Amazon now and get a refund and send back to them ASAP.
Thanks for replying though!- Absolutely ridonculous
- Can we get an update on this please. Multi-room speaker functionality is top of the list for me.
Has netgear said anything about an update to fix the alexa music group connection issue?
I think it was on their roadmap but is not here yet alas. I am eagerly awaiting this feature and think it is a big thing missing from this product
