his is the second WAX6 10 I have purchased. I was so impressed with the ease and proformance of the first unit I brought the second unit to add my wifi coverage down my garden into my home office. I was amazed how simple it was to link the two units and have a seamless wifi connection in my house and now into my home voice. Both units are connected via cat6e and though the app – I just confirmed the registration and app did the rest.
Ordered this to improve Wifi in my house, however it lack an extender option- it is a access point, so creates a seperate wifi when connected. The device can be powered by a (very overpriced) 12v power supply or via PoE switch/injector. I went down the injector route and was up and running in minutes. Having come from an IT background, I was happy to customize my install, however it comes with Netgear Insight for 1yr. This allows easy setup and remote management via a phone app or web portal. Slightly pricey for what it is, and disappointing there is no extender option, but the item is well build and sturdy- with options for wall/ceiling mounting and signal strength is very good. Highly recommended.
Overall I’m happy. I fitted 4 around my house. Speeds aren’t the same on all of them – 3 are super fast but one is quite slow but that might be due to cabling. You can’t use any Netgear app to configure these and that’s a big negative. If I had my time again I’d get the WAX214 instead. That said, they were easy enough to configure.
At first look ok, but! It is too big comparing to other products for same price like CISCO. I think CISCO used materials with better quality.
I expected that my cisco poe switch will be supported, but i have got next error: “All radios are down due to insufficient power(poe 802.3af). Kindly use Poe 802.3at/802.3bt or Power adapter as power input.” Really? Now i need think add power adapter to AP with power requirements for TV? I im still not checked second lan port- main reason why i decided try this one AP. Next time i will by cisco. Sorry
All-in-all well worth the price. I just hope others will not read my review and neighbours stay off th 6Ghz band 😛
The only problem with this device is when it’s factory reset, it will always attempt to connect to Netgear Cloud management, this will cause the Zero Day (Web GUI) to act strange and ignore applied settings if it’s connected into Netgear Cloud previously.
Workaround is simple, configure this device not connected to the internet and it will behave and work locally, I assigned a static IP via MAC address on router and then blocked the IP from outbound connections.
Once it’s configured it’s fine and rebooting is also fine, just initial setup could be a pain.
Je recommande a 200% facile a installer et c’est la premiere borne qui fonctionne aussi bien. Jai retirer 3 points d’accs. Et juste avec elle j’ai le wifi partout dans la maiso
Very happy. Good quality and does exactly what it claims to do so!
Der AP knnte etwas preisgnstiger sein, ihm fehlt es jedoch an nichts.
Der AP ist ebenso schnell und unkompliziert im Betrieb wie er eingerichtet ist.
Es knnen eine Vielzahl von Parametern eingestellt werden so dass auch oder gerade professionelle Anwender hier nichts falsch machen knnen.
We recently moved into a property which has been networked using Unifi APs and switch (4 years ago). Not only did the APs only support 2.4ghz our 2600 square foot property was left with many bad reception areas. The previous owner had thoughtfully added a number of ethernet points..but this can be quite unsightly.
We replaced 2x Unifi APs with 2x WAX610 APs plus an unmanaged POE+ switch and wow. Simply wow. We have gone from a 20MB speed in to 68MB throughout the property..no dead spots..just really reliable Internet which was a breeze to configure and install.
Worth every penny.
Hatte mir den WAX630 als Ablsung meines “alten WAC540” zugelegt und musste feststellen, dass das nicht ohne greres Umbauen meines Netzwerks funktionieren wird. Zu Beginn stellte ich fest, dass leider auch nicht mehr, wie beim Vorgnger dem WAC540, smtliche Regionen ausgewhlt werden knnen. Die komplette Region “Nordamerika” fehlt. Das ist sicher den Hintergrund, damit der AP nicht auerhalb der jeweiligen Landesspezifikation betrieben werden kann, allerdings htte ich das doch gerne selbst entschieden und nicht Netgear. Das weitaus grere Manko ist, das der WAX630 kein untagged VLAN mehr bietet. Es ist nur noch tagged VLAN mglich. Ich kann absolut nicht verstehen, warum man diese Option entfernt hat – zumal es physisch durch die 2 vorhandenen Netzwerkports mglich wre. Beim WAC540 war das kein Problem. Ich musste mir jetzt teils weitere neue Hardware anschaffen, um tagged VLAN einrichten zu knnen. Die WLAN Reichweite ist, wie ich es vom WAC540 schon gewohnt war, sehr gut.
Other than that, the AP has worked perfectly and I have had no issues relating to it. Throughput seems to be pretty good. Getting fairly steady 40-47MBps to a LAN connected NAS when transferring large files from an other room to the AP and about 15feet in distance though solid brick wall.
Over all I am happy. Never thought I’d say that about a netgear product. But its doing what its meant to.
