Wireless Access Point (WAX210)| WiFi 6 Dual-Band AX1800 Speed | 1 x 1G Ethernet PoE Port| WPA3 Security | Create Up to 4 Separate Wireless Networks | Ceiling and Wall Mount

I was having endless issues with the virgin wifi, so I bought 2 of these one for upstairs and 1 for downstairs A lot of the issues I was having were from low signal levels from lights and switches that had WIFI even items like the central heating thermostat and programmer and portable devices. After checking what WIFI channels were in use, some users had set there routers and network devices were going across 8 channels. others on adjacent channels Removed all WIFI lamps and placed into dustbin as their Output WIFI signal strength was very week Ipad was complaining about wpa2 and disconnected a lot Step 1 plugged AP1 into Netgear Switch 1, logged onto AP1 set it to a fixed IP and set WIFI to channel 6 Set Security to wpa2 and wpa3. Set user access name and Password Step 2 plugged AP2 into Netgear Switch 2, logged onto AP2 set it to a fixed IP and set WIFI to channel 11 Set Security to wpa2 and wpa3. Set user access name and Password You can only set up the 5g to default frequencies I left this AUTO Put all devices over to new AP1 and AP2 now a few still objected Set router WIFI to modem mode which then refused to connect anything and cut off Internet access left for 30 min still no joy unable to access router so it was a router reset Tried this 3 times all screwed up Next reset Router Access name and Password Set up DHCP to exclude the IP addresses Id's I had used Had a bright idea to just turn WIFI off, but this just turn's itself back on although you have saved the router config later on in the day. It looks like most devices are working OK. The Apple devices are using WPA3 and have stayed connected OK Amazon Devices all working Amazon Speakers working fine. I have turned off MIC's WIFI light Switches are OK and have stayed connected WIFI CH Programmer and Thermostat staying connected Still have issues WIFI 3 x light controllers looks like they are to meet the dustbin Over all pleased with the improvement The lack of WIFI channels on the 2.4 g network is a major problem that is difficult to resolve. however the 5 g network is available and ready for use. Just a word about this AP restricts you to the lower 5g channels

Simple to setup access point that works entirely standalone without any cloud or management controller, all the network configuration options I'd expect to find in a business AP. That's what I wanted for a home environment but lacks all the visibility and statistics you'd get from something like Ubiquiti Unifi, the only reason I mark it down to 4* is that connected client list is no more than a MAC address and SSID list. Signal is good, reaches throughout my 1500sqft home and to the bottom of the garden (about 20m) with enough bandwidth to fully utilise an 80Mb fibre connection.

I am very impressed by this product in terms of its performance, the flexibility of its features, and the excellent user interface. There is however a bug with the initial installation that you need to get around. When you first install the product you are encouraged to connect to a special setup WiFi network that the device creates. When you do so, a first-start window appears that asks you to set a password for the device, and give the WiFi network a name and password. However when you do this and click apply all that happens is that this window re-appears with the fields blank again. You can never get beyond this point. I tried multiple computers but none worked. It is not apparently a browser issue as the window which appears seems to be part of the connection process to the device rather than a browser window. What you have to dot set it up is connect the device to your network with an ethernet cable, then find out via your router what IP address it has picked up using DHCP. Connect to this address and you get the opportunity to set up the device in a similar way as when you connect to its setup WiFi network, but this time it actually works. After that you can set it up in whatever way you want through the excellent user interface. The version number of the firmware is 1.0.1.0 and I am sure this will be updated soon to address this issue, but at present you are stuck with using the workaround. I worry for Netgear - I think they will have many of these sent back needlessly by people who can't work out how to get around the problem and it is a shame, as otherwise it is a great product. Obviously many people who don't work out how to connect to the device will never even get the opportunity to update it to a newer firmware version, so until the product in the channel is updated to a newer fixed version you need to be able to follow the instructions above. There are two other things to mention. Firstly, this device is not an extender (evil devices that they are) but a wireless access point which needs an ethernet backhaul. Secondly there is no power supply in the box, so if you don't have a POE switch or similar you will need to buy a 12v DC 1.5A PSU to go with it.

Tried to replace old WiFi Access point inspired by reviews... . Have smart home light bulbs, sockets e.t.c. This had weaker signal, devices kept vanished.. . Already after minutes of use, smart devices gone offline, later came back. No ideas is it unstable or just damaged. But WiFi signal also was weaker as my old access point. At the end, had to return it as absolutely useless device. Looks, need direct visual for it. And calls "business" AP... .

A+++. Easy setup in a few minutes..

I have some dead spots in my house and have never been able to get a full wi-fi signal throughout. So read the spec which met what I wanted and reviews seemed to be favourable. I ran a cat 6 cable to it from a switch linked into my router (needed switch as router wasn't PoEE) and the results seems to of addressed all dead spots so have wifi for the whole house the plus point for me is that my phones seems to switch seamless between the 2 wifi domains.

Niet makkelijk te configureren, poe is makkelijk in gebruik, mooi design

This access point worked straight out of the box using the instructions that came with it without even needing to go onto YouTube. Simple, effective and so far, working well. There are 4 possible networks available and it is easy to delineate a 2.4 g bandwidth from one that allows both 2.4 and 5 g. For those so It has WPA2 for security. Overall I'm very happy with the device. Netgear phone support is available free for 90 days after purchase.
