- Owner's manual
Q: How many Ethernet ports are there on the router and satellites?
A: The router and each satellite have three 1G Ethernet ports (1+1+1) for connecting wired devices.
Q: What is the maximum Wi-Fi speed of this mesh system?
A: This mesh system offers a Wi-Fi speed of up to 3 gigabits per second.
Q: How many devices can this NETGEAR mesh system support?
A: This system supports up to 25 devices simultaneously.
Q: Does this mesh system come with any security features?
A: Yes, it includes NETGEAR Armor, which provides real-time protection against hackers and enhanced privacy with a VPN.
Q: Is this mesh system compatible with older Wi-Fi devices?
A: Yes, it is backward compatible with all current Wi-Fi devices, offering improved performance and capacity compared to Wi-Fi 5.
Q: Does this work well with fiber optics?
A: Works very well. I oay for 1gb service. With my previous eero system, i was getting 200mb max. With this nighthawk im getting 900mb on wifi, full gb hardwired. Just make sure you space them through the house so theyre close enough to communicate, but far enoigh that theu arent "fighting" each other to give your device its wifi.
Q: do i have to use all threenight hawk net gear i can only find 2boxes
A: You dont need to use all 3. You ONLY need to use the main one that connects to your modem, but adding more will of course increase your coverage. Even adding more more at the other end of yoir house will greatly improve wifi coverage
A: This recently happened to me and thr sync button didnt work. Bring the diaconnected satelite right next to your main hub one thats connected to your modem and plug in that beacon again. It moat likely just lost connection to that main beacon. Once it gets comnected again, you can unplug/replug in where you priginally had it and it should stay connected now.

Reviews
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.

Great product
Working great. Even strong enough to get to the she shed in our backyard. Comcast said their router alone would be able to reach out there They were wrong thank you Nighthawk. Very satisfied. Dan
