Review on πŸ“Ά NETGEAR ProSAFE WAC720-100NAS: High-performance 2x2 Dual Band 802.11ac PoE Wireless Access Point by Tyler Markham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Disappointing range, update

So far the range isn't great even with external antennas. The hull looks excellent and weatherproof. I have no doubt it will withstand harsh conditions, but the range appears to be around 100 feet. After giving my 3 star rating I have been working and progressing a lot more with the device hence I am changing it to 4 stars. Valuation. Instead of fighting obstacles, I removed my antenna to clean it and improve reception. I'm unlikely to check client connection limits and I'm concerned about weather protection and range. I will also be contacting NETGEAR to check for firmware updates and see if a more powerful POE injector would help with signal strength. I am still confused about the lack of antennas here in the US and have to order them from France but now I have them after a 6 week delay.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • May damage
