Actually, I solved the problem:
- I returned the Netgear router
- Bought a Google WiFi router
- All the devices are connecting perfectly, and I have better connection and speed than with the NightHawk router (attached is the proof, connecting from my smartphone to a 400Mbps connection, Netgear was very slow on 07/16, on 07/17, I switched to Google WiFi).
- I did not need to make any changed in any device, just plug and play.
So, I believe that the guys from Netgear dropped the ball here. They are not ready for WiFi 6 (AX) and their customer support is definitely not prepared.
So my advice is; buy another router, even consider another brand.
