We are experiencing significant performance degradation with our Netgear wireless network. The speed tests are consistently lower than expected, and large file transfers are painfully slow. Are there any recommended configurations or firmware updates to improve performance?"683Views0likes1CommentWireless Access Point comparison between the WAX Range (WAX218, WAX220, WAX610, WAX620 & WAX630)
Greeting Netgear Community, I would like to seek your advice and knowledge regarding setting up my home WIFI connection. I am based in Melbourne and recently moved into a two-story house. Previously I've been using the Telstra Router with WIFI function for about 7-10 years and thought it was about time for an upgrade (my partner keeps complaining that the WIFI is slow where it can take up to 16 hours to perform updates on the PlayStation console). NOTE: The game requires an update every month I am looking to mount these WAPs on the ceiling where they are out of sight but provide high-level WIFI coverage. I've read some reviews and the following WAPs were recommended however I'm struggling to determine the differences between these WAPs: - WAX218 - WAX220 - WAX610 - WAX620 - WAX630 I'm aware that the WAX600 range offers Insight Manage Subscription however given that this is primarily home use, I don't think I will need this subscription package. I am looking WAP that meets the following requirements: - Currently, I have between 30 to 50 devices connected - High transfer speeds for NAS Streaming and file copying - Good coverage around the house - Single SSID WIFI and password (devices only connect to one SSID around the house) - WAP that offers future proofing (something that will last for another 7 to 10 years) without much maintenance I plan to get the house hard-wired up, where all the network cables will terminate in my study room. NOTE: My study room has a Server rack where I plan to purchase a 24x Port switch and an 8x Port POE switch (any recommendations on the model would be appreciated) Thank you in Advance Regards San4KViews0likes2CommentsHelp with providing reliable Wi-Fi for church campus that has a barely working environment
Project summary I am working with my church to upgrade their painfully slow 25 Mbps ISP service to T-Mobile small business. I currently have T-Mobile's home service at my house and consistently connect to 5G N41 at an average 350+ Mbps. I took my Sagemcom gateway to the church office and the service worked as expected with an even better 400+ Mbps speed. Cellmapper.net shows a T-Mobile 5g tower directly across the street from the property so that kind of makes sense. 1. Scenario: Provide reliable Wi-Fi for church campus 2. Traffic Demands: a) Basic demands: Surf the internet, send emails, play music, etc. b) High-traffic demands: Facebook livestream of Sunday service, Voice meetings, HD video, online collaboration tools, Surroundings As far as the property itself, we have 3 primary buildings in a triangle configuration. One small business office (approx 1500 sq ft) on the left side of the property where the ISP connection is located. The main church building (approx 9k sq ft) is in the middle of the property about 125 ft away from the office. The gym (approx 12k sq ft) is on the back side of the property about 150 ft away from the office. The main issue we are having is getting any Wi-Fi connectivity into the gym. There is no ethernet connectivity in the gym because the interior walls are thick steel with which we've been unsuccessful drilling through. The other issue is the environment has just been thrown together haphazardly with no real continuity or planning a proper infrastructure. We have small home routers sitting in odd places and no one knows the logins to the web GUI or even what they are actually doing. 1. Office 35.190590, -89.837631 Approx. total area: 1500 sq ft Construction: Vinyl siding with interior drywall AT&T wireless gateway for 25 Mbps isp in middle office. Considering moving to T-Mobile Small Biz 5G ISP - 300-400 Mbps One Netgear Gs305p POE switch in middle office 5 offices all connected via CAT 5e(?) though the Netgear switch. 2. Sanctuary 35.190392, -89.837218 Distance from office to sanctuary: 125 ft Approx. total area: 9000 sq ft Construction: Cinder block One Belkin F5D9230-4 MIMO router upstairs behind baptismal. One Netgear Gs305p POE switch in control room One Ubiquiti UAP-AC-Pro access point in control room Several ethernet drops available, I believe. 3. Gym 35.190901, -89.837340 Distance from office to middle of gym: 150 ft Approx. total area: 12,000 sq ft Construction: Outer walls are cinder blocks, Inner walls are thick steel, Roof is standard steel with a foam insulation covering. Unable to penetrate thick steel firewall so no ethernet or WiFi currently available. Would roof access work for an outdoor AP? Then I guess we'd use indoor APs to provide the interior connectivity? Number of clients Wireless clients max of about 100+ on Sundays. Maybe 25-50 during the week. We also have 8 IP based cameras and 2 VOIP office phones. Please note that as a small church congregation, we do not have the funds for a full enterprise level network design and the hardware that goes along with one. We just need the network to be reliable and work properly! Any suggestions or comments would be MOST appreciated!1.1KViews0likes1CommentCompatible PoE Wireless Access Points for WAX202 acting as router
My current setup is a WAX202 (WAX202-100NAS) AP set up as a router. The other half side of my house has weak signal, I would like to purchase an access point that is strictly PoE so I can do a network drop on the other side of my house to this AP, this drop will not have access to a DC power outlet and must be strictly PoE for this AP. What products are compatible and you guys would recommend so I can do this? Thank you for all the assistance, I have been looking around and unable to find products anyone recommends.

Hi all, I recently installed a new WAC540 access point. All is working fine. BUT we have a Chromecast dongle that cannot connect to it (used to work fin with the oldest access point) I have reset the Chromecast, triple check the passcode and everything, but it just cannot connect, no error mentioned. Any idea is there is a setting in the WAC 540 to allow this connection? Thank you in advanceSolved1.8KViews0likes1CommentOrbi SXR30 as gateway with MS510TXUP Switch and WAX630E AP
As the title suggests I'm designing a high end wireless system for a home business application. I was considering using the MS510TXUP as my main switch with TWO WAX630E access points. However, it seems like Netgear doesn't offer a wire-only basic router to incorporate with these components. Ideally I'd like to monitor everything from Netgear Insight app including router status/management. So I'm wondering if the following will work? WAN into a single Netgear Orbi SXR30 (with radios turned off) Ethernet Out of SXR30 into MS510TXUP as internet uplink WAX630E connected to MS510TXUP over POE++ Will I be able to manage all of these devices under one location in Netgear Insight?

Dear Netgear, I am trying to help out a non for profit (place of worship) with their network challenges. Would you be able to please help us with an access point? (even a reconditioned, ex display, ex demo, refurbished or second hand - working unit is fine). We very much appreciate your help in this regard, thank you. Best RegardsSolved1.9KViews0likes2CommentsWAX218 extend with other units
Hi all, I can't find any information in official documentation: Is it possible to extend WAX218 with another WAX218 (or even more) and manage them together in one Admin UI? (Similar as Ubiquiti products can do) Or are they completely separated and do not know each other? I this case I assume I do still have the seamless wifi roaming feature if I use same SSID, as it is Wifi standard feature, right? Do I have to manually ensure, that they use different channels? Many thanks for your help!Solved2KViews0likes1Comment
