Mesh Speed
Got the mesh nighthawk system from costco for 250 dollars with 2 satellite and 1 router. Works great. I have 4200 sq feet house. I am getting 200 mb second internet with comcast xfinity. I get ab...
- Ok returned this **bleep** to costco. Went to bestbuy and got the velop ax4200 triband for 430 plus tax normally 500. much better covers whole house and even deck. So please close this thread.
When you test off the nighthawk app, it hosts the speedtest on the primary router, not on your actual device. So the speeds its displaying are the speeds its getting from the modem/gateway, not the speed where you're actually at.
what mesh system did you get? There's a difference in performance from the dual band system to the triband system (unless the dual band is setup using a wired backhaul).
Thats a base model dual band mesh system. Its not going to have peak performance but it is going to provide good coverage with seamless roaming. You're also going to notice faster speeds when connecting to the router versus to the satellites because its a dual band system and not a triband.
If you have the option to hardwire the satellites, they'll be faster
- I will try wire again. If not I will return to costco and get the orbi triband ax or a linksys velop. Or tp link decos are cheap too. My old router by tplink was great. But never had a deco. I want AX so no google for now.
