NETGEAR Nighthawk Advanced Whole Home Mesh Dual Band WiFi 6 System (MK72)– AX3000 Router with 1 Satellite Extender, Coverage up to 3,000 sq. ft. and 35+ Devices

After using the Netgear WiFi mesh system for a while now, I can confidently say it’s been a game-changer for my home network. Here’s a breakdown of my experience:Setup (5/5):The setup was surprisingly simple and user-friendly. The instructions were clear, and the Netgear app guided me through every step. It took less than 20 minutes to get everything up and running. Even if you’re not tech-savvy, you’ll have no problem setting this up.Coverage (5/5):This is where the system truly shines. I’m getting strong, consistent signal across the entire house—even in dead zones where my old router struggled. Whether I’m upstairs, in the basement, or even in the backyard, I’ve got solid WiFi.Speed and Performance (5/5):The speeds are excellent. Streaming 4K content, gaming online, video calls, and running multiple devices at once—everything runs smoothly without lag or buffering. The mesh system automatically connects devices to the closest satellite, so there’s no manual switching or drops in speed as you move around.Design and Build (4.5/5):The units are sleek and minimal, and they blend into the home nicely without looking like bulky tech equipment. They don’t take up much space and can be placed pretty much anywhere with power.App and Features (4/5):The app gives solid control over your network. You can see connected devices, run speed tests, set up guest networks, and even pause the internet for certain devices (great for families). It could be a bit faster or more intuitive, but it works well overall.Price (3.5/5):It’s definitely an investment. Netgear’s mesh systems aren’t the cheapest on the market, but in terms of reliability and performance, you’re getting great value. If stable, high-speed internet is important in your household, it’s worth the extra cost.Overall (4.5/5):If you’re tired of weak signals, dead zones, and constant buffering, this Netgear mesh system is a solid upgrade. It’s powerful, reliable, and delivers exactly what it promises. Just be prepared to pay a bit more for premium performance.

Works good it boost my Internet connection for my computer a lot more than my original router

Set up was easy. Now my WiFi speed is super fast now. Glad I purchased my own equipment, now I can return the equipment back to the cable company, and save myself the monthly rental fees, all I pay for now is the Internet.

I called today after buying it in March, never could stay online, off and on off and on all day and night. Finally last night the mesh satellite, the 2nd one, turns red, and wouldn't go back to blue, I spent an hour and half on the phone with netgear and it was working, once we hung up, it went off line, I took myself to bestbuy bought a whole different route tp-link to make sure if it was the mesh system, and after another hour of troublshooting, bam, no drops! I do want a refund, but it is past the time period, I will be letting Amazon know and see if they can help me anyway. I am so frustrated. Spectrum was awesome, they had issues in the beginning as well and changed out my modem, but in all the crisis, I am now thinking it had a lot to do with this mesh set up, maybe try a different seller, but it was a doozy for me and wasted so many days, today from 8am - 10pm I worked on this setup, lost work time and tons of hours of internet not able to work!

I've only been using this less than a day BUTI realized not long ago, I was not getting the speed I was paying for from my router. MY DL speed was about 1/3 of what I was supposed to be getting. I was about to call and complain to my ISP but I decided to test the connection first and plugged in directly. To my surprise, my speed when connected directly was a little bit higher than what I was supposed to be getting.I bought this and set it up and my speed over wifi is averaging 120% of my contracted speed from my ISP.Setup was easy but I found that, because I used the same network name and credentials, I had to disconnect/forget the network and reconnect. That's not super hateful but with multiple computers, mobile devices, IOT devices etc. it was time consuming.Coverage and speed are fantastic. I haven't tested the range yet but I imagine I would have good signal from the front yard all the way to my back fence.

This works fine (without even using its satellite) for my 1600 sq.ft metal home. I had the guy that the fiber optic internet company sent to install its service sit at my desk and pick out what I needed from Amazon. This is what he picked. I ran a CAT line from the ISP's "cable modem" to my desktop HP PC and another to this Wifi, and that's covered all of the 1600 sq. ft. of living space in my rectangular metal home. It's nice to have the satellite that came with it -- in case I want to cover my 1600 sq. ft. garage.

1) If you wish to set your 5GHz to a specific Channel (36 - 161). The selection only covers Channels (36 -124)2) The 5GHz WiFi auto-sets the channel BW to 160MHz (8 x channels). Because this requires using some DFS channels if radar is detected on any DFS channels the AP automatically switches to another channel. Which is Channel 149 with BW of 80MHz (4 x channels). And because of the 1st problem is not even selectable.Note: WLAN devices that operate on DFS channels must detect the presence of radar signals and switch to another channel if they encounter one.3) The is not any selection in the 5GHz settings to even select the BW 20MHz (1 x channel), 40MHz (2 x channels), 80MHz (4 x channels), or 160MHz (8 x channels). So I cannot choose channel 36 @ 80MHz and avoid being switched to another channel.Note: The lower the channel number (2.4GHz & 5GHz) the better coverage you will have.I live in an apartment building where there are many competing WiFi Access Points (APs). So it beneficial to be able to choose your WiFi Channel both 2.4GHz & 5GHz and control the WiFi BW used to limit interference/competition from the other APs in the building near me.
