Customers are saying
Customers express satisfaction with the Nighthawk AX3000's impressive range, extending Wi-Fi coverage throughout their homes and even into outdoor areas. The system's ease of setup and user-friendly app were also frequently praised. However, some users reported connectivity issues, including intermittent disconnections and problems with the 5 GHz band. These connectivity concerns contrast sharply with the positive feedback on range and ease of use.

Easy to use with good app
The mesh system has a great app and generally works well, however the handoff between satellites is not very good. I think this hinders devices on the border of satellites like the one in my garage that is well in range, but I lose connection on a number of devices when moving there I assume the variance in my upload is my internet provide, not the product

Satellite drops everyday, FRUSTRATING!
Bought this last week on sale for $200. Installed and placed 1 satellite in my room where it tends to be a deadzone. Immediately my speeds went up which was great, HOWEVER, everyday since I've used this product the satellite loses signal and the blue status light turns yellow/orange. Just last night it happened 4 times in the span of 2 hours while I was gaming with friends. Today, why watching MAX on my Xbox it buffered and lagged again, losing signal twice. I really want to love this product as the install was fairly easy and my speeds have increased, but the consistent disconnect is just too frustrating for me. Mind you, the satellite in my room is only about 15ft away from the mesh router! My house is only 970sqft yet it struggles to not drop. I should have just purchased the EERO 6E PRO, more money but after reading reviews from that product it sounds like the extra money would have been money well spent. Oh well, $200 down the drain... if I can manage to fix this issue (doubtful), I will come back and adjust. But until then, 1 star... try a different mesh system until Netgear gets there stuff together!
