Netgear WAX 610 & Nighthawk RAX200
Hi, I’ve just purchase a WAX610 AP and connected to my new Netgear switch. Performance wise it’s great. My switch is currently connected to my existing BT Home Hub 2 which I’m looking to replace, ...
Thanks for replying. I’ve got fttp and the Ethernet goes into the WAN port of the BT home hub. So I’ll be able to repeat this setup with the RAX I believe as that also has a WAN. Worst case I still have the separate modem box.
My question was more around how the RAX router would interact with the WAX AP?

I've never used an insight AP with my RAX200 so I can't speak about how well they'd integrate together.
I do know they wouldn't function as a mesh with the RAX/WAX.
For the price of an RAX200 and 2x WAX210's, why not go with a Orbi or nighthawk mesh setup?
If you have a wired backhaul, and are wanting AX, why not go with the nighthawk MK63 system?
the WAX610 is a 2x2 access point with AX1800.
The MK62/3 system is a ax1800 and when ran with wired backhaul still functions as a mesh. It'd be comparable fronthaul specs (other than business class vs consumer)
Or even going with the orbi RBK753 if you're wanting the option of wired backhaul and orbi integration.
both would be cheap options and integrate better.
both MK63/RBK753 have netgear armor options
- sorry, wax610 not 210 I put in the first part.
