Alexa's speech before rebooting
When asking Alexa to "ask netgear to reboot the router"
As many XR500 owners will know, rebooting is a daily activity, and it's nice to be able to wake up, yawn and stretch and get alexa to restart the router before my eyes can even begin to focus on facebook..
but...
Is there anyway to make it so we can just say "Alexa, reboot the router" and then for her to do it without stating the obvious about losing internet connectivity?
Thanks!

I didn't realize you could do this. I assume it's a NETGEAR Alexa skill?

Her confirmation speech is long, I just wanted to make it shorter.

Re: Alexa's speech before rebooting
The way I understand it (bear in mind I don't work for Amazon) is that skills need to be specifically called upon by "asking" them things because otherwise the request is processed by the core Alexa services rather than the skill. This is something that you'd have to ask Amazon about rather than Netgear because I don't think Netgear can change it.

I'll see what amazon say, it's only really an issue at the moment because i have to reboot the xr500 at least once a day (because of the ethernet port issue)

Sometimes I'll lose connectivity through the LAN ports while I'm actively using those connections
