Actually.. not combo.. Only Netgear Orbi AC3000 Mesh..just realised
so this one makes a good deal. :)
it was this deal from a couple of weeks back for $342.87. Amazon seemed to have their pics mixed up between the combo and standalone speaker

Good price if you specifically want or will use the smart speaker. Personally waiting for a deal on the RBK50.
Same here…
Same. Tempted to just pull the trigger. The difference seems minimal on downlink and uplink backhaul.

Since it's RBR50 and RBS40 I'm expecting performance to be somewhere between the RBK50 and RBK40 results.
The only major downside is only 2 Ethernet ports on the satellite and overall uplink capacity is much slower.
Torn about what to do!
Will be at rbs40 speed
I have the Orbi already.
Trying to give myself a reason to get this.
But I agree with most reviewers findings that it's pretty niche since the speakers are limited to the Alexa ecosystem for casting audio content. :(
Somebody tempt me…
I believe it's compatible with Google now, if that helps.
I believe you are referring to the Google Home Assistant commands :

I found this post on the Netgear Community more akin to what I am referring to:

Not sure how accurate the responder is but the comment regarding Alexa being only half baked kinda sucks if it is true.
Alexa at OV is only partially implemented (no speakers groups, no 'drop in' nor announcement etc.)
Got the RBK50 for $400 from GG Commercial.
Just get a Unifi and echo dot, the Orbi is pretty crap.
now $223.49 at Amazon
Managed to snap one up at in JB hi Fi, Sydney, last one very nice!
Where/When has the "Netgear Orbi AC3000 Mesh Wi-Fi System and Orbi Voice Smart Speaker" combo been cheaper???? I could not find it from your link
