Review on NETGEAR Insight Long Range Management Warranty by Candace Robinson

I think it's a great product. If I were to do it again, I'd probably go with the WAC505 because the AP's specs are similar and it's cheaper, presumably mostly due to the lack of router capability. However, I am glad that the WAC510 works as an access point. One more comment - I've seen complaints that this product doesn't include an external power supply. But if your other devices support PoE, that's great. One less cord to tangle, one less outlet to find an outlet for. Even if you don't have PoE power supplies, an injector doesn't really cost more than a DC power supply, and you're free to choose where to install it. For example, I have a PoE injector for the WAC510 on the router end of the ethernet cable where it's out of the way. As a single point of access, the WAC510 is as easy to set up as I could ask for. There are some additional options (like the spanning tree protocol), but as far as I can tell almost all of them can be left on the default setting with no harm. The reviews for the system and the Insight app seem enthusiastic, but the web interface suits my experience and situation. As a single access point, I would say that the signal levels and throughput in my home with the WAC510 are very similar to the TP. -link Archer A6 router/access point that I tested. As they say, YMMV. Netgear is a bit more attractive and unobtrusive. In my house it is almost impossible to cover the entire territory of my house with an area of 2000 square meters. Foot plus basement with a single 5GHz access point. In short, the only practical access point placement leaves a dead zone in the corner of the house where we spend most of our time. So I decided to add a second WAC510 with the bridge option. The instructions for setting up a bridge between two access points are pretty clear, but I had some questions, so I emailed the Netgear support team. They responded within 24 hours and answered my questions clearly and completely, so I'm very happy with Netgear's support at the moment. The bridge evened out the coverage in my house as I had hoped, and my wireless clients transparently switched between APs as they moved around the house. The key to switching clients to the best performing AP seems to be to enable load balancing with RSSI and disable bonded clients. The problem with configuring a bridge is that there is a trade-off between the maximum performance of the bridge. The additional transition from access point to access point during data transmission reduces it by about half. The best solution is to use multiple access points separately. However, in this scenario, you should be able to connect wired network access points in locations where they provide maximum coverage. Overall, I'm very happy with the product and support from Netgear.
