Ok, here we go! I researched everything! After days....I decided. The new nighthawk mesh 2 Sattelite system! Wrong wrong if you plan to game. Wifi 6 and the Sattelites are amazing!!!!! But gaming needs a constant stream. I thought that I was clever and would plug my xbox series x in to a satellite "hardwired." You know, have the main router hardwired to the Modem and my kids 2 Xbox series s's and my series x on a satellite but hard wired in to it while have researched wifi 6 and understand how it functions. Did not work. The series x would still have a wifi 6 function that jumps from channel to channel. Making things like party chat malfunction. I did what I already knew was the right thing to do. I read reviews on this product for 2 days. It is the real deal! I have roughly a 2500 sq ft tri-level home and all living spaces are on one side. That is useful info btw. Living space covers closer to 1800 sq ft Tri-level. This new awesome router is located in the corners of the bottom "basement" level. I have 2 netgear wifi 6 mesh extenders and have programmed 1. Takes some googling. But that extender is hardwired to the xbox series x now and works amazingly with no drops. The download speed is 100 my per sec where as with the satellite produced a 300 my download speed. But there are no drops and gaming is fast, even while downloading now. With this nighthawk router and extenders. The second extender connected on its own. Moral of the story is... if you are gaming between 3 xboxs, streaming between 5 devices or let's face it. We have 5 smart tvs 3 tablets 4 phones smart over microwave, nest thermostat, ring doorbell and flood lights/cameras and browsing or even using these devices at the same time? This Nighthawk with extenders crushes.
Side note: the 500$ nighthawk satellite combo wifi 6 mesh system is amazing! Just does not work for gaming. Hope my review helps.
