Orbi Voice model RBS40V, Alexa not responding to voice command or playing through the speaker
My Orbi Voice shows connected to my Alexa device (Echo Dot), but will not respond to voice commands. It worked initially but once I unplugged my router to relocate it, the issue started. It will rece...
Hi did you get it working ? I have the same issue and it seems to have happened about the same time .it reregistees fine and actually Connect and I can get the blue ring to work if I press the Alexa (still doesn’t respond through the Speaker just blinks for the duration of a response . I’ve done all the resets you did I am going to see how to download the forward again it seems a new firmware load about that time corrupted it
- Nah, I have reset and even updated the firmware, and a piece of junk still doesn’t work. I’ve given up, and clearly no one from Netgear knows what’s going on with it because no one has bothered to even reply or try to fix it for me.
I just got mine and finished setting up and I'm finding the same thing. The blue light is on indicating that Alexa is listening, but she won't do anything.
I got it to play music... not through Apple Music mind you. The fact that it doesn't work with Apple Music is a HUGE problem now. But since Alexa doesn't seem to hear anything it now won't shut off. I had to pull the power to get it to shut up.
I also noticed the red X next to the microphone randomly turned itself on.
Within 10 minutes I'm learning that this thing is a disappointing piece of junk. Netgear, what say you?
- Yeah, it’s very disappointing, but sadly not too surprising. Netgear customer service is a joke.
