Hi, as I was informed by the Swedish netgear suport team that I can`t use google home with Orbi pro, did I return my home assistant to the store again, so I can`t produce any report to you. I will close the thread for now. I will try a new google home assistant later on.

Hi LarsA,

Welcome to our community! :)

NETGEAR doesn't recommend to have a 3rd party to be connected on the Orbi/Orbi Pro.

Hm JohnC_V I think you mix up something: Google Home is a smart speaker, not a mesh or the like network.

  schumaku,
  
  My apologies. I overlooked that one and I was referring to Google Mesh.

    Hey JohnC_V - please don't worry, we all hit similar traps every now and then in attempt of assisting Netgear customers here. Very often it's difficult to decode and understand the issues posted. Thank you for all your efforts over the years. Happy Holidays!
    
    PS. I'm considering to massively reduce my time and efforts with this community - because of Negear (not you personally!) is unable to say "Thank you!".
