About NETGEAR Nighthawk Whole Home Mesh WiFi 6 Add-on Satellite (MS60)
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
91% praised the intuitive app, but 9% struggled
Setting up was straightforward and simple through the intuitive and user-friendly web interface.
The whole-home-mesh-wi-fi-systems use an app for setup and general use, and there is also a web interface for more full-featured administration.
The app has limited features, while the web interface has all the features.
I am disappointed with the app as it is slow and lacks advanced controls.

97% praised the coverage area, but 3% found dead spots
I have full coverage everywhere with similar speeds whether I am standing right next to it or at the far corner of the house.
If your home is larger than 4000 sq ft and not rectangular, it is suggested to purchase an additional remote unit to reach the back bedroom.
The set can cover my home up to 4,500 square feet with wireless connectivity up to 1.8 Gbps.
My home is a single story ranch with 1,800 sq. ft. and is within the coverage area of 4,500 feet.

90% liked the customizable settings, yet 10% found them limited
I face update issues with the advanced settings being clunky and it errors out a few times before it works.
I will have to go with one of the more expensive systems that have the feature of adjusting sensitivity.
I had a difficult time finding the settings I needed and the layout was unintuitive, making it hard for me to go back to them again.
97% found it easy to set up
Setting up via the app or on the computer was very easy.
The Netgear Wifi 6 Mesh system is easy to set up.
81% liked the ability to support many devices, but 19% didn't
The system can handle 13-15 devices connected at a time.
I have 28 devices connected and it is handling everything I throw at it with no problems.
When my kids are home from school, the number of devices jumps up to 20.
I am unable to block the chromebooks as per the schedule. It only supports one schedule which is another problem. My sons suddenly became blocked in the middle of the day for no apparent reason.
95% appreciated the performance
Internally, I am able to make full use of my decent DSL connection with great speeds.
I replaced my cable-company supplied router with this mesh router and experienced an incredible upgrade in performance.
93% were impressed with the security features, although 7% weren't
The product is user-friendly beyond means and has great security benefits.
On the first day, my wife's phone possibly attacked the product with malware.
The web admin functionality is unfinished and security cannot be turned off, unlike in the phone app.
The app constantly nagged me about their paid security service which I did not care for.
