Wake Word on Orbi Voice Alexa

Has anyone been able to figure out a way to change the wake word on the Orbi Voice from "Alexa" to something else?  Somehow they either decided not to provide the option, or it was left out in error....

Hi DanInGA,

 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

 

You can only use "Alexa" as Wake Word for your Orbi Voice Satellite.

Normally you can Say "Alexa, change the wake word", but I guess Netgear forgot to include this important feature.

    I also just noticed that The Orbi Voice with Alexa is missing quite a few commands that the real Amazon Echo does. I really thought the RBS40V with Alexa was going to have exactly the same features that alexa supports. But certain commands my Son's Echo has are missing. I hope someone from Netgear can shed some light on this before I return it.
