Review on Netgear Nighthawk Whole System 3 Pack by Victor Garro

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Easy Setup - Intermittent problems assigning an IP address to DHCP devices.

There are some reviews that criticize this WiFi 6 mesh system as "not as efficient as other more expensive WiFi 6 mesh systems". more expensive, they are 2-3 times more expensive and maybe a little more functional for your purposes. In any case, it wasn't any harder to set up than a regular router, the extra units just plug in and work, and bonus, they do. I have a wired port that can be used to connect wired devices that cannot be accessed via Wi-Fi, such as IP -High Definition Camera. I suspect that my phone's tendency to disconnect from WiFi and not reconnect is a router bug. , this happened much more often right after installing the new mesh router system - the phone saw a strong WiFi signal and tried to connect, but did not get an IP address from either the main network or the guest network. Restarting the phone doesn't help, restarting the router does. After updating the firmware of the router, this happens a little less often, but still once a week. If it weren't for this one issue I would give our new router system a five star rating, it's excellent value for money and 100% better than the one it replaced. Whatever it is, it's quite annoying having to reboot the router from time to time to keep my phones and my wife's phones connected to the wifi. Maybe one day another firmware update will come and fix this before the router goes into unsupported status.
