NETGEAR Nighthawk Advanced Whole Home Mesh WiFi 6 System (MK63S) with Free Armor Security – AX1800 Router with 2 Satellite Extenders, Coverage up to 4,500 sq. ft. and 25+ Devices

5x speed upgrade – why pay for Fiber if your old wifi can’t give you the benefits?
I was starting to see some delays in video conference calls while working from home and decided to upgrade my old Eero mesh system. I couldn’t justify the expense of a Wifi7 system so I decided on the Netgear Nighthawk Wifi6 Mesh. Setup was easy and I had all my devices running and reconnected in less than an hour. Little trick – I used the same SSID and password for the new network as I used for my old one so everything reconnected without issue. I would recommend this mesh solution. I’ve used Netgear products in the past, pre-mesh technology and they were always high performing and reliable. I was happy to see the quality has continued.

Easy peasy to setup and functions perfectly, BUT . . .
The device would not register with NETGEAR since it showed it was already registered. It has been a several hour process in getting the Tech Support to register. Once registered, it had a purchase date of 60 days earlier than I purchased. Leaving only 30 days left for phone support and for the free Amour trial period. This could of been a slip up on the Amazon refurbish people. But still a hassle to get registered.I have changed my review to one star. The 90 day subscription to Armor security software could not be activated. Not even a 30 day subscription was included and I was forced to purchase the $69 yearly subscription for the users of this Netgear MK63S product.Another update . . . Amazon refunded me the value of a 90 day subscription to Armor security software. My one star rating all goes to Netgear’s product support. The “Mesh WiFi 6 System” works very good and is easy to setup. It does lack some advance features (WPA enterprise) that are supported by other Netgear Nighthawk products. Another advance feature that has issues is running in AP (Access Point) mode. It is not supported by the Nighthawk mobile APP (application). But can be set using a web browser configuration method. Hope these feature show up in future releases.Issues continue with the Netgear “My Support” service, 90 days free. I now have 11 cases/tickets, 2 still unresolved against the four MK63 systems I have purchased. The service stinks and the Nighthawk APP is even worse when dealing with multiple systems.

What they don’t tell you in the description . . .
I only got this wifi system a couple days ago so this is a short term report based on 3 days of use.A few buyers of this Netgear wifi system seem to have focused on the technical issues but glossed over the stuff that concerns us non-geeks. Yes, it sets up very quickly and painlessly once you have set up an online account with Netgear. And that should be easy if you’re a first time Netgear customer. Otherwise, you need to remember your password. Resetting that (password) can be a pain, but installing the system afterwards is almost as simple as unboxing it and connecting it. The app you’ll download to your smart phone finds the satellites and connects them to the router automatically.What they don’t tell you is: not every one of your smart devices is going to work with WIFI 6. The RING doorbell, for instance. I also had a number of smart outlets that wouldn’t work. I was able to phone Netgear support to fix this problem, but that was harder than it should have been. The woman sounded Russian and was reading from a script. It seemed like she wasn’t that familiar with my problem – maybe she was new to Netgear. Anyway, once we got to the correct web page online we were able to make the router work in WIFI 5 which made it compatible with my legacy devices. Of course, if you have devices that you want WIFI6 for, you’re screwed one way or the other.They also don’t tell you that you’re gonna need an ethernet switch if you’re going to want to hardwire more than device to the router. You’ll want to figure that out and get that switch when you initially purchase the system.You also might want to figure out where the satellites go in advance because they need to connect to AC – you might need extension cords. The power supply cords included with each satellite reach about 3 feet.As far as coverage is concerned, my 2500 sq.ft. house is indeed mostly well covered with wifi after I distributed the 2 satellites. Since this system is rated at 4500 feet, you might expect that would be way more than enough for my house, but not really. It seems just about right. Don’t forget you’re going to want wifi in the backyard, too.
