Setting up Orbi Voice (RBS40V) with Alexa without using the app
The manuals instruction uses the Orbi App to configure Alexa. However, the Orbi app is broken and not allowing me to login (there is another thread on this). I need to configure Alexa before my trip ...
Not to be a wet blanket or anything, but Blink does not list the Netgear RBS40V on the list of products known to work with the Blink Doorbell.https://support.blinkforhome.com/en_US/alexa/setup-guide#supported-alexa-devices Nor do they list Sonos speakers.
There have been a number of posts on the forum from users not satisfied with what Alexa can do on the RBS40V. My own use is primitive. "Alexa, play (a radio station)". "Alexa tell Plex to play". what time is it? what's the temperature. tell a joke. etc.
I have this feeling you'd be better off with something known to be supported, such as an Echo Dot. (3rd gen $18 on Amazon. Newest models about $50)
Log into your Orbi RBRs web page using a web browser and select Add Satellite feature here to add a RBS to the system.
Thanks a lot for responding! I already had the satellite added and couldn't seem to find a way to remove it. Do I just factory reset the Orbi voice and start the add satellite process?
