RealMastermrxI am running the Netgear Cax80 Modem/router hi speed terabit service with Xfinity. They do sell newer ver mine is about 3+ years old About 80+ items from smart switch+ plugs , cameras, garage door and locks and thermostat .plus hubs. Aqara, Meross and few other products mostly cross platform, apple and Alexa . Mostly runs ok I do find I have Chanel conflicts at times but mostly runs well.
OctawussyI use an Orbi with one satellite and a netgear 3.1 gateway in bridge mode. They’re expensive but I got it used for cheap and it’s been great.
BruceLee2112Netgear nighthawk for 6. Using tplink easy mesh for 7 and been happy so far
NCResident5Definitely 👍. I use a Netgear Nighthawk with WiFi 6.
Academic-Swimming919I agree. I have tried numerous Netgear products, going back to a PCMCIA card, and all of them have had problems. The last Nighthawk I had constantly resulted in "Connected, No internet" for too many devices.
Accomplished-Ruin945I moved from a Netgear Nighthawk router and extender to an Orbi network... Well worth it to me.
AppropriateDevice84They were all WiFi 6. I used a Nokia linksys Atlas, a TPLink one and a Netgear Nighthawk. Except for the Nokia (wifi5), none of them even came close to the signal penetration I got from the GLinet flint 2.
ATypicalJakeYou just need to create an account and load an app on your phone to set it up. I find the Unifi app to be substantially better and more intuitive than the Netgear Nighthawk app I had for my last router. Lots of youtube videos on how to set it up too. Super simple. Only warning I will give you is that the system will tend to grow over time. I started with a gateway, switch, and two access points a year ago. Now I have a NVR and 5 cameras too, as well as a couple outdoor AP’s.
