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 Matthew Coste

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I would wait for something better.

The speeds are okay and the setup was a bit quirky, but I managed. I, like many others, have a problem with devices freezing, sometimes just for a few seconds, sometimes requiring a reboot. I have music stored on a NAS that's hard-wired through a router to a Mac mini that's connected to my stereo. Sometimes the music just stops for no reason. Usually I can just press the play button to continue the music, but why did it stop? Never did that. Something similar is happening with phones and tablets. The device seems to be jumping around, disconnecting and connecting to different devices, and it doesn't matter if it's wired or WiFi. Unfortunately I've played around with this long enough to past my return date so I'm stuck with it. This technology is still somewhat new and prices are starting to come down. Soon every router will have WiFi 6 and Mesh when you need it. Soon there will be more competition and much better products at this price point. If you need it now, spend more and buy something better.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
