Netgear Nighthawk Mesh WIFI 6 - Installation and Review - Getting Ready for Fiber

That’s awesome, Thank You for the video. I just purchased one, hopefully it will boost my speeds.

Best ever!! #1 view provider Promo`SM!!

I just purchased one. Can I use the same ssid and password for this new router?

Did you use an Ethernet cable from the satellite to your computer?

Question, will this work with my ac2600? Plug and play?

Can you please tell me what the input voltage is on the power adapters? Is it 100V or 100-240V?

Shouldn’t all those cable lines lead to outlets through your house? Why wouldn’t you direct the signal to another room and set up the network hardware in somewhere other than the absolute worst room in the house? Just seems like if you’re only paying for 200 Mbps, fiber would just be a waste of money.

So if I wanted main up in my office .. and a satellite down in my living room where my entertainment is .. could I plug in a little switch to the satellite so my Xbox and nvideo shield tv pro can remain "Hard wired"

Is it possible to connect the mesh router wifi to existing wifi to get access to more ethrrnet ports ?

I have nothin but bad luck with Netgear , It doesn’t seem to last went through 2 routers in 3 yrs .

I’ve had the same system for about 2 years. Mostly it works fine. But rarely delivers full speed to my devices, but usually enough for my use. I’ve had 2 main issues though. First, it does not like Alexa at all. I have them in several rooms and it’s a crap shoot if Alexa will work, especially multi room music. Second, I’m getting the connection drop on my devices, specifically my work computer, every couple hours. Used to not have this issue, but recently started a couple months ago. Seriously considering switching.

Have you considered running a POE injector to save you on having to do electrical?

Thanks for the video!

Can i connect my Ethernet cable from my pc to one of the satellites would it work ?

I don’t currently have Wi-Fi. I saw this at Walmart. If I buy this, will this be all I need for Wi-Fi, or will I still have to pay monthly for a service to get Wi-Fi?

That shit getto ,but it's 💪

I need to buy a separate modem to use this?

Setup question. My end goal is setting up wifi in my metal shop. I have wifi in main house but the reach is not enough. With this system can I set up mesh router in my house, send wifi signal to satellite in my garage & then grab the wifi signal from garage & then resend signal through an underground cat6 to the metal building where the cat6 is plugged into the other mesh satellite to provide wifi in shop? Clearly I do not understand this stuff so here I am, asking.

It keeps saying invalid QR code what do I do about this????

GOOD INSTALL, MY ISSUE IS MY NIGHTHAWK SAYS NO INTERNET. CAN I INSTALL WITH MAUEL DETAILS IF SO WHERE WOULD I FIND THOSE DETAILS. SUBNET MASK, GATEWAY ETC?

are the two satellites wireless and have the ethernet ports on them to connect to devices in other rooms? Amazon lead me to believe that i had to buy 2 cables to run to them but theres only 1 ethernet jack on Modem, so how could i loop them together?

How do I add using an existing wifi router? Without unplugging that existing wifi router?

Do I unplug my current router before installing the mesh WIFI?

Great detailed video. Thank you!

Just got this. Problem is my satellite in my bedroom is getting no devices connected to it. My PC is right next to it and my so is my phone, yet all my devices are connectingg to the main router downstairs instead of the satellite 5 feet away from it.

To get the faster speed on your internet speed test, did you have to plug in a Ethernet to a satellite for that or just wireless

Mine caused by metal roof

If your router was on the first floor it might solve your problem

Folks if your wondering why he is getting higher speeds that what he subcribes is due to data overhead from the cable companies. Basically, cable providers have 1,000gigs from the headend....

From their, light travels via fiber to a node at the distribution area (typically a pole or underground development)

Then light gets converted to RF and runs coax up to customers premises.. 1000gig is available for the entire neighborhood at this point, but thats limited to what the customers are paying for.....

So if most customers are only paying 200 mbps out of the avail 1,000g thats available, you will end up pulling some data overhead... but during peak hours, when data traffic is heavy, sometimes you will test about 70mbps lower starting from any overhead...

This is why your speeds during certain hours change. So if your paying 200 and getting 236, your most likely not in peak hour.



But if your getting 170 out of 200, then most likely your in peak hour. Your ISP guarantees you 70% to 80% speed... thisbis why overhead is important to have..


So for those thinking omg lets get this so i can get more speeds than what im paying for, dont lol.... your just not in peak hour 😅.

Also, many of these issues dont exist in fiber.. in stead, your limits are down to installation.. coax, you limits are wether or not you want a hole drilled 😅😅😅


Nice video..

We have the same mesh network and spice turntable. I had Comcast 1Gig for a couple of years and switched to AT&T Fiber. Love it.

Anyone notice the Tri band mesh router was creating fake positives? If so how did you stop it from doing that?

NICE! The next time we upgrade our network we will grab this bad boy.

Why don’t you put the main router on the main floor, and the satellites upstairs and in the basement?

Could you run the system with two of the mr 40 routers one running as an access and the two satellites running on the mesh networks?

Did you end up getting fiber installed?

It's mega bits not megabytes you will get 14.6 mb per second with a 146mega bit connection

I have this exact thing but every time I try to connect to the WiFi it gives it says unable to connect, do you have anything for that?

Love my fiber internet. Equal upload and download speeds.

Bryan, OK, it has been 2 years of you using this Nighthawk Mesh WIFI 6 system. Since I am thinking about doing what you did, how is it holding up? Are you pleased with the system? What don't you like about it? (Ya know, pros vs cons). Thanks so much!!!

I have Att fiber it was getting 650 to 750 then att introduced the WiFi extension equipment and my speed dropped to 350 400 and then they tried to sale me the equipment to fix it

My devices kept swinging from satellite to satellite and wasn't stable, did you have that issue as well? If so, how was it fixed?

What if you have a combo modem/router (Nighthawk Cax30)? Would the mesh system still work?

I use Roku streaming devices for all my TV's on three different levels. I have Comcast 1.2gig service and have a Arris S33 modem and Netgear Nighthawk RAXE300. The modem and router are in the computer room top level. I have noticed spotty service on all levels even the level where the router and modem is. Does this mean I need a mesh system?

I thought the nighthawk system was a router?

You didn't set the ISP modem/router to Bridge Mode?

Do the satellites have ethernet ports?

I bought this and overall am happy with the performance, however I am not impressed - after the 90 days u have to pay for support. Had a small issue which I wouldn’t pay. Googled the issue and fixed it myself- sad they wanted to charge

run network cables through home and use a switch to pass it around.
