Drop In
I have the ORBI with Alexa and 3 Satellites and 3 Amazon Echo Dots. All connected and happy. But when I ask ORBI to Drop In to a room it says unsupported function. I can do it fine from the Alexa app on my iPhone. Does the ORBI Alexa device not support all of the features of a real Alexa device? When the ad says "with Alexa" I kinda figured that would be full, not partial. Is ORBI really limited?

Re: Drop In
I would contact NG support about what features are supported on the Alexa version of Orbi.

Re: Drop In
Are we talking about the RBS40V, the voice satellite?

Yes @michaelkenward. I think RBS40V is the only Orbi with built in Alexa 🙂

Re: Drop In
Full details are important.
That's why Netgear has its suggested information that people should provide:
Subject (Include model number and brief summary)
Model (Recommended - Helps the community give the best answers)
Body (Include additional detail including model version, firmware, OS and environment where relevant.)
They are there for a good reason.
In this case, other stuff on the network may also help.
But it may be that @AmitR has the answer. Pity that a Netgear person offers such a cryptic response, with next to no useful information.
I would try it on my RBS40V, but I have no idea what this command is supposed to do.

Agree. In fact this question should be posted in the special Orbi Voice Community: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-Voice-WiFi-Meets-HiFI/bd-p/en-home-orbi-voice

Jeez. I hadn't spotted that wrinkle. I thought they had done well to post it in the Orbi area.
Yet another place to hang out.
I wish you hadn't said that!
