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 finally got around to buying a Mesh system after using Wi-Fi extenders which were at best inconsistent with my home and its concrete construction. This was a RENEWED item and it came in a plain brown box, with an inner white box with sections for the units (plastic- protected wrapping) and a tray for the power supplies and Ethernet cable (plastic wrapped and wire twisted) and instruction card so I was happy (my guess is that it was only the Outer packaging was damaged and thus a plain box used -see pic), ... I saved $65 by buying it "renewed". Set-up was easy through the App and so far it seems to be working well, a couple of times whilst setting up my phone dropped the WiFi signal and would not reconnect until I toggled the WiFi on/off on my phone. I have an Android 10 phone - this leads me to .... My only minor gripe and this may not even be the systems fault but maybe my phone?, my understanding is that as you walk from room to room, the system would auto-connect you to whatever node/satellite was the strongest? I have had a couple of times, when testing and walking from different locations in my home, that the WiFi signal loses strength? almost like my phone is hanging on to whatever unit it originally linked to? A quick toggle on/off with my WiFi setting on my phone and it then connects to the closer/stronger satellite/unit.?.... not a deal breaker. It is proving much better than what i had before....I will update if things change.

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.

Set up was easy but do not google customer service for this product go to Netgears official sight I was almost scammed out of 300 dollars there are multiple fake netgear customer service sites make sure it’s the real deal but product works fine.

First, this was a great deal, couldn't pass up an Amazon refurbished item at this price point. It wasn't the easiest mesh to set up, you legitimately need to follow the steps very carefully, otherwise you'll have to reset all three devices and start from scratch. Once all three devices are set and it has gone through it's software updates, the mesh system works flawlessly. Coming from a TP link mesh system, this is a huge upgrade; the switch between the main modem and the satellite connections is seamless, the speeds are excellent, the ability to connect a device on Ethernet to the satellite for faster speeds is amazing. All three satellites are sleek, they mesh well with the decor of my house, there's no antennas or flashy lights everywhere. I 3d printed a bracket for one of them and mounted it on a wall, out of sight and out of mind. The app works great, if for some reason you need to reboot the router, monitor who's using all your bandwidth, or stop your kids from using data on their Xbox when they should be studying, you can do it from there.

I live in an old adobe home in Northern New Mexico, where Starlink is my only option for high-speed internet. To extend its coverage throughout my property, I bypassed the Starlink router using the app and connected a Netgear Nighthawk Mesh system via CAT5e patch cable. From the main Nighthawk Mesh router, I ran a second CAT5e cable directly to my Xbox Series X in the living room, effectively turning the router into a local area network hub. My second Nighthawk Mesh unit connects to my PlayStation in the bedroom via another CAT5e cable, providing a stable, wired connection. The third Nighthawk Mesh unit extends connectivity out to my garage studio. I ran CAT5e through the kitchen wall to a Nighthawk 7200 router in the studio, which connects my MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPhone to my StudioLive AVB network. This includes Presonus and MOTU devices running through an AVB switch for my daily music production work. I invested in the Nighthawk Mesh system to improve signal strength and stability across all my devices—and I’m glad I did. I now enjoy the speed and reliability of Starlink without the extra cost of Starlink’s proprietary mesh accessories.

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