Nighthawk AX1800 Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System
I'm not sure this is kosher, or if the post will stay up, but I've just got to vent. I bought the Nighthawk mesh wifi system at Costco or Sam's, the one with 2 satellites. It worked for a year. T...
None of these questions is relevant to the issues I was having. I had not updated firmware, that wasn't why the boxes stopped working. The issues with trying to get Amazon Echos to play multi-room music had to do with the inability of the router to separate 2.4Ghz from 5Ghz. And the KNOWLEDGE needed to update and reset these things is absurd. I've been "that computer guy" for decades (I'm 56). And this exasperated me to the point of ditching the whole thing at significant expense.
My house, by the way is 3000 sq. Ft. but with 1250/1250/600 split between 2 floors and a basement, so it is not sprawling. The LAN cable is very short, and brand new. And the Nighthawk system has been removed at this point, and replaced with a different brand router, with gigantic antennas, and seems to be doing the job better than the Netgear setup did.
All questions are relevant regardless if you feel they are not. Any and all details and questions and feedback helps us help you.
I had my 60 series system set up in my 5000sq ft home last year and saw now issues with my two Dots connected. There was a recent slow down in FW reported and seen on v.132. v.134 seems to have fixed that I believe. Reason for asking about your FW version loaded.
FYI, I remember the days of morse code and teletype when I was trained on those. Age has now relevance here.
Well I guess we can close this since you removed the system.
Good Day.
