Netgear Nighthawk Whole Home Mesh WiFi 6 System, 3-Pack , BLK (Renewed)

I used to be a router snob. No more. I had an ultra-expensive router at my home a few years ago when a friend asked me to come help him install this system in his new home. I did and it was easy to install--and it gave him fine speed for his needs, adequately covering a 6000 sq. ft home. My ultra-router has been nothing but a pain in the years since while this Netgear ultra-cheap mesh set has just plugged away, performing reliably well in my friend's house. So when I needed a router for my vacation cottage, this is what I bought--a refurbished mesh set for dirt cheap, and it's working just fine. I like the fact that I can manage the vacation cottage's router from home. But most of all, I like that it's cheap, reliable and sufficiently fast to handle my 300 megabits/second service. Really, this is all most of us will ever need. And in the recent past I've spent over $500 on a single router. The only thing this set seriously lacks is wired ethernet that goes faster than 1gb/sec.

This was the best decision ever for my townhouse. I have spectrum internet only and the router/modem combo that came with their package didn’t reach my entire home. I stream a lot and have multiple devices running so I need good wifi. I tried wifi extenders and nothing worked for the upstairs coverage. I was skeptical about buying refurbished but have had these for 3 months now and I can say I have had no issues with them. I gave back the spectrum router because you don’t need it. The setup was easy and the signal strength is so strong. I get coverage in my entire house and even outside. No buffering issues and super fast speed. I’m definitely satisfied with this brand and this product.

I purchased this in August of 2023 on Wirecutter's recommendation. The first six months were great. Good speeds, setup only moderately frustrating, and a decent price. It's now January 2023 and my router has stopped assigning IP addresses properly. If I try to connect via DHCP, it never finds an IP address. I have power cycled; I have done a factory reset; I have changed the range of IP addresses assigned; I have used my google-fu as best I can. I can only connect to wireless if I assign a static IP. I've looked at the logs and I can't see anything that changed that would cause this problem. It's been on the same firmware since I purchased it, and that's the most recent version. This wouldn't normally be that big of a deal, but: I use a lot of smart switches. I love a cozy room but I don't want to turn 12 lamps on and off manually. Giving each of them a static IP address *once* would be a PITA. Plus, the first advice that Netgear offers for troubleshooting is "do a factory reset". Then I'd have to reassign the static ip's all over again. I haven't even come to the worst part. NETGEAR DOES NOT OFFER CUSTOMER SUPPORT after 3 months unless you pay them. That's right. They want to charge me for troubleshooting a product that has failed within 6 months of purchase. This product has become a waste of money and a source of endless frustration. I don't even feel right giving it away and handing the problem off to someone else. It's literally just trash now. Do yourself a favor and buy literally anything else. And NYT, you might want to update your recommendations.

Replaced older system at my moms. Inexpensive and great value. Mom is happy with performance and enjoys more consistent, faster coverage all over her house. I can monitor, update and restart the network remotely.

I was totally about to return this. Setup was done through the app and went smoothly. Tested the speed and the internet would flicker on and off. I saw that the firmware was not updated so I did that. After, half my devices would not connect. I tried rebooting, changing the name. Separating 2.4 and 5ghz. Nothing worked. After spending about an hour trouble shooting I did a factory reset as a last resort by pressing and holding the reset button on the back for 15 sec. Went through the whole app setup again and this time it kept the firmware and everything connected. Even with the ghz being auto, which was a surprise since some of my devices only support 2.4. Only got to test it for an hour or so but so far it's covering the house very well

Title: 100% Satisfaction Description: This product works better than I expected. I struggled getting wifi throughout my entire house, even with extenders. A friend told me about this product so I bought it, hesitant that it would be complicated to set up or even work. I was so wrong! Set up was super easy and I not only have a strong signal throughout my entire house, but even my backyard. This product works.

Description: I actually had to add a second group due to the number of connected devices. This works perfectly with the right placement you can have access everywhere inside and outside your home. Easy installation and options for hardwired devices too.

I have spent 8 hours trying to get this working. I think I will get it working but it has been challenging.
