Review on 🌐 NETGEAR Nighthawk Whole Home Mesh WiFi 6 System (MK62) - AX1800 Router with 1 Satellite Extender, Extensive Coverage up to 3,000 sq. ft., Supports Over 25 Devices by Steve Quinn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You get what you pay for.

I jumped at the chance and pre-ordered when I saw the announcement at ces earlier this year. Affordable Wi-Fi 6 mesh in an easy-to-use package, what can go wrong. Well honestly you get what you pay for here. The good-affordable main router has decent range and promised speed. Bad setup is terrible. it's slow It doesn't always work either. You may have to tell him to set himself up a few times before you get through. - Router configuration options are very, very limited. There's not much you can do with an app or an IP over Ethernet interface. The mesh network is slow and has a very limited range! This is the main reason for 1 star and quick returns. The mesh knot is just awful. I can't connect my LED lights because the smart switching network can't lock the device to a 2.4GHz network. (Required for my LEDs) I returned this and went with Google Grid. Of course there is no Wi-Fi 6, but it just works. If you're looking for the fastest mesh network, Revain's eero pro system has it, but the annual premium for features that must be in every router gives me a terrible taste in my mouth. So for now I'll trust google until someone finds a better grid. Also stay away from TP Link, it was faster than that network, but if you are a gamer you may experience intermittent outages that can ruin your online experience. I hope this review helps you save time and hassle when looking for a mesh network.
