If connecting as a satellite to an existing Orbi system you must set it to Orbi mode. It comes as an extender from the factory. The piece of paper that comes with this satellite explains how. Basically make sure the power button is off. Then plug it in. Then hold down the pairing button. Then power it on while holding pairing button. Then release pairing button. This will cycle it into orbi mode. It took my satellite about 5 minutes to finally go into Orbi mode. Once in orbi mode go to the app and pair it. Again, follow the paper that came with it unless you just want to use it as an extender.
This is a great mesh router and gives me back a lot of the features I was missing when I used Google Wifi. I have no dead spots in my house (about 3500 sq feet) and love the integrated Amazon Echo features. The only downfall which isn't something unique to this router is the missing drop-in and calling features of a normal Amazon Echo device. I can control my smart home devices and listen to music but can't call my other Echos or add these speakers to a group for playing music in multiple rooms. These aren't deal breakers for me but are the only things keeping this from being a perfect 5 star device.
After first setting up it seemed to work great then after a few days I started to experience problems with my Sony TV (2019 Model). At first the TV connected to satellite on 5Ghz channel, but after a few days it was on 2.4Ghz channel and then after few more days it was on 5Ghz channel on Router which is further away. Then it started disconnecting and would not connect back (TV Says SSID is disabled), I would connect back and it wold only stay connected for 10-15 mins before disconnecting again After forgetting the network on the TV and adding again it connected back at 5Ghz on the Satellite but after few days it went through same cycle as before and eventually would only stay connected for 10-15 mins at a time. Eventually I moved the satellite closer and it now seems more stable with the TV staying on the 5Ghz channel from satellite. My guess is that there is some issue with the TV trying to connect back to the satellite once it connected to router and it ended up disconnecting instead. Other devices on the network don't have any issues. Apart from that its definitely improved the speed of my Wi-Fi over my AT&T U-Verse Router.
Great sound quality and works nicely for the internet reach in the house, but wish it had Bluetooth and/or connected to Sirius. I bought it for work, and I listen to SiriusXM during the day. But it doesn't Bluetooth nor can it connect to SiriusXM via the app. Otherwise, it is a nice device.
This unit arrived yesterday. It is to complement my RBR20 router with two satellites. The new RBS40V Orbi voice installed as expected and is now extending my network coverage just fine. However it will not make the connection with my Amazon Alexa function. The unit does show up on my amazon account but states that it is off line. I have tried every single step multiple times but it just won't connect. Disappointing I can't use Alexa stil. I spent three hours online with three different tech support persons at Orbi but they also were not able to solve the problem.
Please do not buy this for Alexa "multi room music" functionality - the speaker itself is fine, however, it does not support Alexa MRM functionality which is fundamental if you have more than one alexa device in your house. The satellite router functionality works as advertised, so if you are buying for that and you maybe need to play music in standalone fashion on one device then its fine.
I've finished set the Orbi Voice to my Orbi Mesh system. It was perfect. But after a while it keep white flashing, strange tick soung and disconnected from the system.
Although this is sold as an Alexa enabled device it lacks the same functionality of other Alexa devices. You cannot play Apple Music on it even though you have been able to on other Alexa devices since March 2019. Some of the Alexa skills also don't work on it - the key one for UK buyers is the BBC Radio Skill which means that you cannot listen to any BBC Radio stations (think there will be very few users of a smart speaker in the UK that don't want to listen to any BBC Radio). The speaker also doesn't support airplay (or have bluetooth or have an audio or USB input) so if Alexa doesn't do it, you can't do it in any other way. It is basically a bit rubbish and I would go for a straightforward satellite wifi extender plus a proper smart speaker if you want something that actually works.
I bought this to make life easier along with the other Orbi Router and Satellite as well as a nighthawk modem. Since my internet was spotty in my large home I thought this would be my solution. Well it is worse...Days wasted trying to get this thing working, Setting, resetting, rebooting, and having to reestablish everything over and over again in my smart home. Hours with tech support only to keep going through the same steps I have for days ....I have had this whole system less than a week and hate it....I am going to return. Not worth the price tag
The wifi works great. Unfortunately the Alexa multi room music is not available. If you check the forums we have been requesting this be added for more than a year. Just did not want someone else to purchase this item assuming as I did, that this would become a speaker in my music group.
