If this is the bulb, Amazon says I can have it May 21:

Happy to try it on a couple of Orbi systems and see what happens.

    (That was NOT the correct bulb.  "My Bad" for not reading carefully.)

     

    Amazon just delivered a pair of sengled W31-N15 color bulbs.  Works with Orbi!

     

    • App download and setup is ordinary.
    • Smartphone was connected to Orbi at 5G.  (Yes, the instructions prattle on about "must be connected to 2.4G WiFi", but that was not the case.)
    • Did not elect to control bulb with Alexa or Google.
    • Added one bulb following instructions.  No problem.  The app found the bulb. Not the quickest I've seen, but it did find it.
    • Fairly tedious process of defining the "Room" and putting bulb into room.  Found the app really confusing.  It kept saying I was attempting to cancel the setup when all I wanted to do was see it turn on and off.
    • Found defining the color especially frustrating.
    • Anyway, color is set. Turns on and off with app.
    • Phone remains connected at 5G.

    If one of these has quit working, it may have failed.
