Questions about Orbi Voice before deciding to buy
Hello, i was originally planning to buy the Google Nest Wifi but that wasnt available to buy yet in sweden it seems so this seemed like a good option. Just had a couple questions about it before purch...
Some answers:
- You can't replace Alexa with Google assistant.
- It is not possible playing YouTube on OV nor cast to Chromecast.
- The speaker is a node in orbi mesh.
- You cannot prioritize wifi speeds (but you can do some restrictions via Disney Circle)
Alexa at OV is only partially implemented (no speakers groups, no 'drop in' nor announcement etc.) . So if you consider such an option you should investigate if it would match your needs.
Besides it seems that Netgear is neglecting product development and doesn't care about users comments.
