Hello everyone !! ***Please Note: In (7:20) I forgot to mention that the MAIN default IP ADDRESS IS 192.168.1.1 to access the setup menu if 10.0.0.1 doesn’t work. BUT KEEP IN MIND that in an event you connect the new router to an existing NETGEAR router not a modem and you want to have two networks “10.0.0.1” is the second default so it doesn’t conflict with with the existing NETGEAR ROUTER IP.
sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Kash Julius thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
oh my gosh, glad I found you, i was going to return it and tell costco I cant figure out how to connect the satellites to stay lit blue. Thank you so much
I've been using a Nighthawk router for the past 2 years, amazing reliability and performance. It's the main reason I decided to go with Netgear again for my mesh wifi 6 system.
You use a Nighthawk aswel. I've vpn loaded into mine. Was going to buy mesh, but I thought I'd place my Nighthawk in the attic. It works, no more dead zones due to thick walls.
Thank you for the detail instructions. Was wondering if we can setup AX18000 to use SSID and Pass of the main router so it will be one network. I do not see that option when log in.
This Netgear Nighthawk mesh system is AWESOME!!! Easy setup with Nighthawk app and turned our home connectivity nightmare into a wet dream of WiFi bliss! We are so freaking happy with this product!!!
My speed on my PS5 skyrocketed with this thing. Used to get 30-70 download speed with wired and at this moment, my speed is 224.9 download speed and I’m not even plugged into the router. I’ve seen over 400 when it’s plugged in to a closer outlet by the router.
Joey - thank you for the video, I found it very helpful. I have a 2 quick questions - Should I disable the WIFI settings in my current modem/router provided by the ISP? Also, if the satellite loses connections, should I resync both the router and the satellite or simply turn off and on (as with the example you gave in the video)
Your welcome glad it worked out for you and the answer to your questions, yes you can disable your wifi from your old one by simply unchecking enable SSID “if you have that settings in your modem” and for the second question, the sattelite or extender should not keep losing connection if it does that means its really far away from the the main wireless router try lifting the main router to a higher position and a bit closer range to the sattelite and see if that stops it from losing connection i am not in your home to see distance and so i am just giving info based on imagining where they probably are hope this helps though.
Hello, thanks you very much for your video. I have one question, I will buy a nighthawk mk83 system. And i will like to know how i can set up the ms80 satelites to connect it by ethernet backhaul to the mr80 router. Thanks for your help
I have a Netgear router with multi ports that I hard wired to my TV 's. I notice that this router only have 1. How can I keep my TV hard wired. Can I still use my existing router and add this as well?
I have my isp cable on one end of the house and want signal coverage to reach the other end of my house. My question is, can satellites connect to each other forming a line of coverage from the router or do they need to connect only to the router, which will limit their range?
Can I set this up without connection because what annoys me is that it should just automatic connect to internet and ask for update to continue rather then remkve previous IP provided by Provider it's frustrating and also I live in a two story house with 4 rooms, dining and lounge, weirdly design 2 small hallway. My house is 100+ years
can the ethernet port on the satellite units be used to connect to a bridge? I want to connect 2 other buildings through a wireless bridge and I was wondering if I can use the satellite units as access points through the ethernet port
Great video, if i have a Comcast modem, do I have to configure something in the modem? Like put the modem as a bridge or just plug in the ethernet cable should work? Thanks
@Alexander Parra I recommend buying a standalone modem “surf board by Arris” is highly recommended and the modem only version its just $75 all you need to do is call xfinity or comcast and give them the mac to get it activated, I have links in description for it. Thats what i do for every customer who has problems/frequent line disconnection with any cable modem from any ISP company here in the U.S. Now i have actually tried connecting it to the Xfinity /comcast modem and it does work but i have realized that since those comcast modems are not well build, dropping in the internet connectivity does still happen often and the best option i have found since i am also a comcast customer my self is to buy a standalone modem & connect your wifi router of your choice to that standalone modem. You will obtain great quality of internet & very rarely any disconnecting from time to time hope this helps, if it does please consider subscribing.
@@USComputerSolutions ok thanks a lot. Also i am going to try buying the nighthawk offer that costco have right now (169+tax) for 3 devices, and using the Xfinity Modem first. Thanks for the recommendation
I cannot find a solid answer to this: can you SEPARATE the 2.4 and 5ghz SSIDs? I am reading reviews on amazon and some say yes but Netgear says YOU CAN by turning off the "smart connect" -hoping you can reply asap...thx
Okay, so i have tried multiple times, till i went literally inside the programing, my reasoning to do so was for a client that wanted to connect his 2.4ghs cameras to the wifi since it couldn’t detect the network and as soon as an update happened it literally over wrote the setting and removed what I reprogrammed, so with that said i dont recommend the mesh for having two networks, yes very annoying i do recommend the Net Gear Ax5200 series i have a video about setting it up and i am using it at my home for over a year amazing device in my opinion
I have bell fibre, my I have a 2 in 1 modem/router. Too connect the nighthawk router to this, so I connect the Ethernet cable from the nighthawk to which port? I have 4 LAN ports and a WAN port, 2 DSL also on the side. I’m not sure which one to connect too, my nighthawk is not turning a solid blue colour
I have a ONT that receives the ISP from a cable , because it is bell fibre internet. I left the ONT plugged into my bell router/modem. Then plugged in the Ethernet cable net gear gave me from the bell router/modem to the net gear router. I did this last part on one of the LAN ports on my bell router/modem. It goes: ISP fibre line into my ONT - ONT into ISP bell router/modem - router: modem Ethernet on LAN port into net gear router Is this correct? It seems to be working good, but could I plug the ONT right into the net gear router?
You can try to plug it directly, unfortunately since i am not there to understand the setup, i can’t say, each company has a type of setup for their fiber some just has (fiber cable to modem then a ethernet cable you can plug directly to any router and some has fiber to an all in one router you can also plug that all in one to your net gear router wifi, as i have done this to a client of mine living over seas. So you can try to connect it and see if it works if it doesn’t keep using what works, also if you do decide to to plug the ONT directly just remember to restart the main router. Keep me updated
I need help. First- If I buy this can I connect the router to my modem via wifi like I would with a range extender and then connect the router to the satellite? Second- can I pair the router to a range entender that is already connected to my modem and then sync the satellite to the router? Thanks In advance
I hope you find my information useful, this system is basically one router and two range extenders that are made to connect to the router that comes with the system, so that router is a router like yours it can only be connected through a wire, and the extenders that come with it well it connects to its own router, your second question, well since its a wifi router it should also work on another extra range extender assuming you will have an extra one or because you already have one. If this information helped ya our please consider subscribing thank you 😊
Not necessarily, the ac3200 is really power device and really it gives a good area of wifi signal it is build different than the mesh system, the mesh system is like a normal router that covers its extenders with internet, looks kinda fancy but if the ac3200 is doing the job then be it.
@@USComputerSolutions ok I have 500mbps with frontier. I assumed wifi 6 would allow me to stream faster and the mesh would give me more range vs wifi 5 (ac) .
You can try the mesh if you like but compared to your ac3200 in my opinion it is stronger built than this device in the video now if you are talking about stronger 5g the orbi is way better mesh since i tried the two, I dont know how large your home is but if its not and you dont like extenders the Netgear ax4300 would be a good option for you also.
@@USComputerSolutions 3400 sq feet. Yes I like the orbi but it's $500. For 199 at Costco I thought upgrading to wifi6 and added range would help. I will test tomorrow and report back. Thanks
Well, the mesh 6 is an option i only tested it on under 200 mbps, really cant say i dont have any client who uses more than that, they are happy with it but let me know how it works with you specially with the satellites, keep in mind that the system is dual 2g/5g meaning it will only give you one ssid name some people informed me that their security cams that connect to wifi only work on 2g, but regardless you connect the device and spread those satellites and lets see if it gives you a high speed.
I am trying to setup my camera to my mesh. It appears I can not do this because the app will not work with a 5ghz. I do not know how to change the it to 2.4ghz. This is extremely frustrating.
I don’t really have the mesh system in front of me at the moment but I remember seeing a setting in the system if you go to the wireless setting area you can enable both to show rather than one i think it is set to auto or something and you make it to show both i do apologize, inform me what happens and when I do get my hands on that device ill update the comment here to help you, but for now i hope this can help.
@@USComputerSolutions I can see both when I open the app. This issue is, I can not just change it from 5ghz to 2.4ghz. I recall being able to change it with my other nighthawk. I'm not sure why they don't just have a dropdown so you can easily change it. What bothers me the most is, after the camera is installed, it will work on the 5ghz >
Very strange that the cam is connected but the app is not working seems like the vendor need to update the app but let me tel you what you can try to do, you can change the name for the wifi name one netgear-2g where the netgear ssid is and name one netgear-5g where the 5g ssid is apply let it restart and I think that should solve ur issue, let me know.
@@USComputerSolutions I'm sure I am not explaining this correctly. With my other blackhawk system, when I searched for open avail. wifi it listed 2.4g and 5g. With the mesh system it doesn't. unit's like my camera will only setup on 2.4g.

I am a super NOVICE and this was so incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! This video saved me from hours of stress.

Buy your own modem

Do i need to disable the original wi fi from my router/modem the mesh is plugged into? I still see the original network

Thanks so much!! Super helpful
Another big question how to. Connect lane Lin the house phone to the router, can I still use the previous modern from Provider?
How can I turn off the ax system. My laptop doesn’t recognize the network.
Will the Nighthawk xr1000 be compatible with just the satellite? Or do I actually need that router it comes with?
Hi. Does this system is a wifi extender. Thanks
I have my isp cable on one end of the house and want signal coverage to reach the other end of my house. My question is, can satellites connect to each other forming a line of coverage from the router or do they need to connect only to the router, which will limit their range?

What was the stand alone modem that you recommended to work with this router.
Can I set this up without connection because what annoys me is that it should just automatic connect to internet and ask for update to continue rather then remkve previous IP provided by Provider it's frustrating and also I live in a two story house with 4 rooms, dining and lounge, weirdly design 2 small hallway.

I haven’t tried, but it should work i dont know about latency, it doesn’t hurt to try and run some tests let me know
Hi can I connect my ips router to this router instead of my isp modem? Will this slow down my speed?
can you use the mesh as the router itself? i have a PPPoE Rj45 internet
How easy is this to integrate with my nighthawk A1900 modem/router combo?
How to check the speed test for MS60 or Sattelite extender? It only give me the option to speed test my MR60 or main router but not the sattelite

How do disable the armor it comes with. It’s stopping me from loading loaders to my pc
The router keeps blinking and wont give me internet access
I bought it from Best Buy very tricky set up
Can one of these go outside in a pool house ?
Yes, keep in mind to keep it away from water and not too far away from the main router so you can have a strong link.

Always buy your own cable modem
