Orbi Voice (RBS40V) cannot make phone calls via Alexa
Just trying to learn the features of our recently purchased Orbi Voice RBS40V.
I just tried to make a phone call on our new Orbi RS40V but it says "Calling with Alexa is not supported on this device. You can use the Alexa app instead." whilst our Amazon Echoes and Echo Dots can do that without any issues.
Any suggestions?
I am really liking the idea of having an Orbi satellite and a smart speaker at the same time.
Before we get rid of our Amazon Echos and Echo Dots, what other known Alexa limitations does Orbi Voice have?
Thanks in advanced for your inputs.

I thought there used to be an article that went over what did and didn't work for alexa on the orbi voice.
I looked for a bit and couldn't find it.
working: checking weather, playing music, settings reminders, interacting with alexa, alexa commands "alexa, lights off", etc.
not working: calls
Not sure if theres a specific task/thing you're wondering about.

Thank you for your response.
I love tech and want to know everything about the device. It would really be helpful if that article shows up.
- I know when it first came out it didn't support the multi-room audio but I've heard a couple people say it is now. I don't currently have my rbk50 system running to reconnect my rbs40v and test it with.
