r/VanLifeUKNone starlink Internet router?
2 months ago

Full-time Van lifers here, we have a Netgear MR6 which is 5G ready and don’t bother with an antenna! It’s a great piece of kit and because of its size and battery power, it can be taken with us when out and about. However, it can make the battery hot when charging at times so good ventilation around it is required. You can connect TS9 connectors if required but we have never needed to, even inside the van with doors and windows closed. We purchased it from a company listing on eBay and selected the A1 Refurb which arrived in perfect condition and saved us over £200.

r/wifiWhat is the best Wi-Fi Mesh Router to buy, that has 5G SIM card slot?
11 months ago

As far as I know there is no mesh router with 5G. That being said I’d recommend you get a good 5G router like the netgear m6 pro and a great wifi7 router like the netgear rs700. I used to have the orbi 960 and they suck. When the orbis are working they are super fast. But at times they are not working… that got on my nerves so much that I now have the rs700 for wifi and I don’t even need a mesh.

I dont know about this model but fuck Netgeat Nighthawk. I owned a different one few years ago that was supposed to be a a high spec version, and it caused me infinite problems, which all disappeared when I bought a different one.

r/HomeNetworkingNeed some help choosing a suitable router.

I 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.

I moved from a Netgear Nighthawk router and extender to an Orbi network... Well worth it to me.
