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.
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.
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.
They 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.
You 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.
Yeah their speeds are terrible man! I swapped out to a nighthawk router for $300 at Best Buy has been worth it
they are awesome on a deal, and netgear nighthawk are fantastic... not that thing you linked...
