Alexa in AP mode - easy workaround
I’m fresh owner of Orbi and I was a bit disappointed that in AP mode I cannot use Alexa for enabling/disabling guest network. Even enabling in Netgear Genie the Remote Managemet it doesn’t work. In web interface is the option disabled...??! After searching net for a while I did not find any solution how to fix it. Maybe this helps to someone. Im not sure whether is some better remedy for this out there... After an hour looking under the Orbi’s hood I found easy workaround. Because service is running and is connected to AWS we need to enable RM. I have no idea why Netgear disabled this option in AP mode...?! Howto: Open in browser: http//your-orbi-router-ip/remote_fail.htm After warning page the “Netgear’s disabled” remote management page will be displayed. Tick “Turn Remote Management On” checkbox then click APPLY button and enjoy your Alexa. Btw: running latest fw at RBK40, but it should work on any
