To start off I live in a 1900s home, that has been added onto several times. To try and have a steady wifi signal throughout was a challenge, even with my Nighthawk router from our previous home, and an extender which proved to be less than reliable. I did some research and I settled on this 6e Tri-Band mesh system. Coming from a previous Netgear router, I was pleased with how the app worked, and liked that I had control over some settings. The black boxes are discrete, and able to hide in plain sight. The coverage throughout our home has improved immensely, our security cameras no longer drop out, no longer buffering when trying to stream TV upstairs, and I'm consistently pulling every MBPS and more from my ISP.

Whole house coverage and then some in and around a 2500sq/ft home. Big upgrade to my Nighthawk router from 2016. Quick easy set up. Total coverage upstairs and downstairs, Back yard and Front yard.

Purchased these to replace a two-band ASUS mesh system that has been iffy since day one. Setting up the main router was smooth and easy. When it came to the satellites, less so. I had to make sure I synced them directly next to the main router before unplugging them and moving them down to the second and ground levels below. Past that point, connection has been strong and stable. Mobile app is relatively restricted, but more functionality available from the browser. We’ll see how they hold up in the months to come.

Fast and easy set up to extend WiFi range over an entire house. The download and upload speeds are amazing - initial set up and technical assistance superbly explained.
Satellite extenders are simple to move around and then sync up with base easily. Modern design looks good and fits well on shelves etc

Works great for a large home. Only had a couple minor issues which were fixed quickly by reset of one of the satellites. Strong and fast connections from router to satellites. The satellites give good coverage for whole house and have allowed for PCs without wireless cards to connect to the internet with ethernet. App on the phone is helpful and easy to use to change any necessary settings. Overall satisfied with the product and giving 4/5 due to the brief instances where the satellites have needed to be reset.

Excellent mesh system. Upgraded from AX3600 which was also very good. The 5700 is providing even faster speeds & extended coverage. Setup is quick & easy, security is good. App works very well, so settings & monitoring are a breeze. Highly recommend

NetGear Nighthawk AXE-5700 has been an amazing upgrade to our 6year old Orbi mesh system. We have fiber with 1GB speed coming into the house. Well, our old mesh system was only allowing us to speeds of roughly 70-80mb. With the number of new devices connecting to WiFi and working from home, this situation had to be resolved.
The NightHawk gave me the best of both worlds. Great mesh system, good price and ease of setup. We actually tried another 3 unit system whose setup was frustrating to say the least. Returned that one, paid about $80 more for the NightHawk and now we’re very happy. More than covers our two story, 3500sq ft home. How we’re seeing speed up to 700Mb and 300Mb. I’d recommend this system 10/10 times.

so far excellent decision. I've used Nighthawks for years across business and home. This one connects up to 100 devices, currently at 30 and going strong. range is great no dead spots in house anymore even in pool. setup was deceptively simple (no instructions manual). step 1) download the Nighthawk app step 2) follow app directions 3) done. BIG HINT: name the new network same as your old one (name + password) and all your existing gear auto-registers.

I setup this mesh router a few weeks ago and have had perfect coverage and gigabit speeds everywhere in my 2000sqft house. One major issue with this router is that the sattelites act up. When installing the sattelites, one refused to connect at first, and took over an hour to register. The management software is ok, but not the best when it comes to control of the router system.

Coming from an Orbi environment, this system outperforms any other mesh network I have used. I can finally take advantage of WiFI 6E speeds and see speeds of 800-1000 mbps up and down with my fiber network. The setup was also very easy with the Nighthawk app.

Mesh system works great in the house. Full coverage and fast speeds. Love the extra Ethernet ports! Downloads are amazingly fast on my PS5 and Xbox Series X! Runs 2.5 gbps extremely well and the upnp capability makes my gaming flawless. Best buy I've made in a while!

Was worried about the expense versus current Nighthawk, but the upgrade was definitely worth it. Whole house plus deck gets coverage and we can run our networked TVs, gaming, computers, and roughly 7 mobile devices without any notice of a slowdown.
