Sounds so familiar I'm afraid - almost a Netgear consumer BU standard. Hundreds of complaints, reports, alone here in the community an exactly these issues. Christian_R please: This is more than tiring...

Take care

- schumakuMar 08, 2020Guru - Experienced UserStrange comparison - I assumed you desperately wanted a WiFi 6 system. Netgear does have affordable wireless access points (WAC505, WAC540) - these can be operated using a device based Web UI (or Netgear's Insight cloud). For UniFi you need some additional controller, physically or on. virtual system.

Thanks for chiming in with your suggestion.
If I'm not mistaken the controller SW can be run on one of my workstations and in the future I like the mesh concept.
I've read a lot arounf these Ubiquiti appliances and I lke the HD Nano a lot.
WiFi 6 would have been a nice future proofing but currrent reality of my home applicances and internet of things devices is still quit "traditional" with many little things not even able to use thr 5GHz band.
Take care (writing from a country shut down by the damned virus and people's ignorance)
