Orbi Voice using Alexa timer/alarm doesn't go off
I have been using my Orbi Voice Satellite Alexa feature. It has been great. Two days ago, I noticed the Alexa ability using a timer (or an alarm) no longer works (it doesn't ring or flash). Alexa ...
Same problem here! How pathetic is it that netgear broke this and now won't fix it! I will consider another vendor next upgrade cycle.
I have the same problem how I can fix?

It shouldnt be a beta firmware. It should be a patch for what you broke in this firmware. Development process is broken here.

- So the new firmware says it fixes the alarm issue which it technically does but now I cannot turn off the alarm. It keeps going off no matter what I say to Alexa. The only way to stop the alarm is to delete it in the app.
The device used to give me a verbal announcement reminder but now only sends me a message to my apple phone.
Do you have a fix?
