Nighthawk mesh slow speed
I have installed a new nighthawk WiFi 6 mesh router with 1 satellite. I am getting great speed on speed test from the fiber, but the WiFi speeds SUCK. when I look at the network map, everything seems ...
Hello Spydrjon,
Welcome to the community! Ultimately the devices will decide which to connect to based off of the strongest WiFi signal. May you try moving the satellite to a further location and let us know if there are any improvements.

I have a gig service. When I test the ethernet wired speed, it is 655Mbps. When I speed test right next to it. I get 547 Mbps. But as I walk away, speed drops with every oot distance. I used to have an standard gig router from netgear when I had 300 Mbps speed and 20 feet away I use to get the same speed as next to the router.
I tried to select my model in the pulldown but it's not in the list. Not a good start, Netgear. I have a Router & Satellite, the package is marked AX1800 MR62, and on the bottom of the box the sticker says *MK62-100NAS*. The router is an MR60, the satellite is an MS60.
For the devices in the back of my house near the satellite, I get slow speeds, excessive buffering during streaming, etc. When my phone is connected to the satellite, my internet speed as measured by the app is 226 Mbps download/12.06 Mbps upload. BUT if I measure using an internet browser speed test (speedtest.net) from my computer, I get only 12.0 Mbps download/11.1 Mbps upload.
I was having buffering issues this afternoon, so I unplugged the satellite and surprise! It started working better. (But I lost some smart switches in my garage because they're too far from the router.)
I bought this system last August. It's behaved like this on an off the whole time. I thought it was my Roku stick but apparently it's the Mesh.
Any ideas?
