Bang & Olufsen multi room and Netgear Orbi RBR850

I have issues getting Bang & Olufsen multi room to work with my wireless products connected to RBR850 and its connected satellite. Bang & Olufsen is stating that this is a known issue and that Netgear are working with a fix? What is the status?

    This is the community forum, doubtful you'll get info from engineering on here. 

    What actual issue are you having? 

    What modem/gateway is the router connected to? 

    What B&O devices do you have? 

    HOw are they connected? Via wireless? Wired? If wired, to the router or satellites? 

    Reason I ask is sonos had/has an issue with satellites. If they're hardwired in, they need to be to the router and not satellites.

      What actual issue are you having? 
      Issue is that Bang & Olufsen multiroom is not working. And this is a known issue and Bang & Olufsen have escalated this to Netgear.

      What modem/gateway is the router connected to? 
      I live in an apartment complex with a Cat7 "box" for internet. So not sure of the gateway in the basement. 

      What B&O devices do you have? 
      Beovision Eclipse (hardwired), Beosound Shape (Hardwired), Beosound Emerge (wifi), Beolab8 (wifi/WISA). Issue is only with the wifi units. All connected to the router. 

      Please advise.

        What do you mean by the B&O isn't working? Can you explain in more detail of what that means? 

        What FW version is loaded on the Orbi system?

    Something to keep in contact with B&O about since they seem to be working with NG on it.

      I am in contact with them about it. But I wanted to hear from you guys as well. So there is nobody from Netgear in this forum?
