User questions & answers

Question:	How reliable and user friendly are the parental controls
Answer:	Just go into the HP printer’s Setup/Network config and set a manual IP - 192.168.4.60 - and be done. That will save AirPrint and other misery as well.
Question:	Is there a separate modem I can buy that supports spectrum telephone service? I want this mesh system but need a Modem that supports my phone service
Answer:	You need to purchase your own modem and register it with Comcast, then you can add these as your WiFi router and return the Comcast Gateway you have now. You will have to tell comcast that you are doing this, then you don't have to pay their rental fee. I have my own modem and router, have for years. It pays for itself to do it this way!
Question:	Will this sync and interface with tp-link omada systems
Answer:	I had an older NetGear extender (5 years or so, plugged into the wall, dual band). I just bought this to replace it and like it a lot better. It automatically finds the signals and keeps you going. My NG extender gave me a 2G and a 5G connection separately. So I had to constantly disconnect my WiFi on devices and choose the other when the connection was crappy or lost. No more of that!! My internet is one thing now and that's worth the price of admission. Also, love love the app so that I can actually see all devices using it. And the security updates are great since I'm working from home now and have to use company programs.
Question:	I just installed this and apple is indicating wpa/wpa2 (tkip) is not considered secure. how can i configure this to wpa2 (aes) or wpa3 security type
Answer:	The bacons have to have a power source. If it is too hot, the bacons will be too hot and crispy. We found it better to do the bacons in our oven rather than plug them in. Try it.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a motorola surfboard modem and wifi router combo. my speeds and reach is poor. will orbi work with my modem and router combo
Answer:	Yes ORBI will work fine and it’s secure and fast
Question:	Can the Access points use Ethernet
Answer:	The main hub has a few Ethernet ports and that will give you the speed of Ethernet without comprimising speed.. I’m sure you can plug Ethernet from the satellite hubs but the speed would be the same as WIFI because it’s essentially just another wireless router accessing data wirelessly.. (if you’re speed is 300 mbs or less you wouldn’t have to worry about it anyhow..
Question:	Is this system compatible with older Orbi systems
Answer:	RBK23 Absolutely! Our Orbi routers and satellites are cross compatible. Please note, however, that the Orbi router can support up to 3 satellites and devices connected to the AC2200 devices may experience slightly slower speeds than those connected to the AC3000 ones (for example).
Question:	The description says good for internet plans upto 200 mbps. So is it really 2.2 gbps or is it 200 mbps
Answer:	Mine easily handles over 200 mbps. However, according to their advertisements, it can handle over 1 gbps. I recommend you check out some Youtube videos of people who do reviews of the Orbi. There are quite a few and they may mention speeds greater than 200 mbps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work without wires? Can it wirelessly connect to my main router in the living room
Answer:	Not unless your main router is a Google OnHub (they support the mesh network capabilities needed). From Kate (Manufacturer):Google Wifi is a "mesh" Wi-Fi system, they are not extenders for your existing router. The first Wifi point plugs into your modem with an Ethernet cord, and plugs in to power. Others plug in to regular power outlets in your home. They connect wirelessly to one another to create a single Wi-Fi network within your home. If you have Ethernet ports throughout your house, you can also hardwire each point. If you hardwire the units, you will still get a single Wi-Fi network throughout your house and the points will use Ethernet for connectivity between each other.
Question:	How would I handle my wired devices? If this replaces traditional wireless routers I lose my 4 wired ports
Answer:	Each Wifi point has two Gigabit Ethernet ports. There 1 WAN and 1 LAN on the primary Wifi point (which must connect to your modem) and 2 LAN ports on each additional Wifi point.
Question:	Can I set up a guest network that is isolated from my main home network
Answer:	Yes, but what I like most about that, while I have a main network for my self with a very complicated password because might have client information on network, the kids or friends might be visiting in town and always had a guest network for them, but with the google wifi, I can allow them partial access to my network, being printers, apple tvs, rokus , or sound systems. I have had this only one day, I am in a ranch style home on 1 acre, with 2 in each front corner of house and one in middle of the rear of the house and get reception on entire 1 acre though not the greatest connection on the edges but still fast and stable. also good connection in detached garage/pool house, might add one more for the detached garage/poolhouse to go from good connection to great connection
Question:	If I have wired Ethernet throughout my house, can I physically plug in each unit to the network and have them function as one mesh wifi this way
Answer:	Yes, they work that way. The setup is: ------------ In words: 1- Connect the Main Google Wifi WAN port directly to the modem, then connect the LAN port to a switch. 2- Connect each ethernet cable from outlets in the house to the switch. 3- BEFORE connecting the other Google Wifi(s) to the Ethernet, you MUST pair/activate/create the mesh with the Main Google Wifi. You MUST do this for each Google Wifi that will be connected to the network. 4- After pairing/activation/mesh creation, then you can take them to the location where you want to connect them to an ethernet port. I have this setup and it works flawlessly.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you buy extra satellites
Answer:	Mu understanding is yes.
Question:	Anyone experiencing constant drops on apple devices? i can’t seem to get a good wi-fi connection on 5ghz for ios devices i tried all 3 channels on 5gh
Answer:	Check your firmware, including satellites. There was an update (V1.0.4.96_2.0.41) to resolve 2.4 device drops. The MR .chk file is different from the satellite (MS) updates. I didn't see anything for 5ghz issues.
Question:	This model of nighthawk isn't on spectrum's list of approved routers yet. has anyone gotten it to connect with their spectrum internet anyway
Answer:	What you are probably looking at us a modem/router list, not a router list. This does not have a modem, so make sure you have a modem before buying this. If what you have now is s modem/router, do not connect this to that. It takes technical knowledge to make this work using another router. You need to buy a modem, activate that modem with spectrum and then connect this to the modem.
Question:	Can this be wall-mounted or ceiling mounted
Answer:	There is a wall mount that can be purchased separately for this device. I mounted one satellite and placed the other on a flat surface. I’m not fond of the wall mount for it but it works.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a relatively new hp printer that i cannot connect as it uses wps. is there a way around this? if not, i will have to return. unhappy with this
Answer:	Hi Jason,Thanks for reaching out and for your question!If you'd like to use an Airport device on an eero network, you will need to bridge the Airports. eero's cannot mesh with other routing devices. For more information, we recommend viewing this help center article: https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/articles/208315013-Connecting-AirPort-Extreme-Time-Capsule-or-Airport-Express-to-your-eero-networkI hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to give us a call at 1-877-659-2347 or email us at [email protected],Jeff, eero support
Question:	Hi, i have an integrated modem and router from comcast xfinity. how would eero replace the router
Answer:	Hi Jeff!Thanks for your question. With eero, you can definitely use Ethernet to connect each eero. This will eliminate any potential interference, and let you get the most of your speeds from each eero throughout your home. eeros also work in a mixed wired/wireless network, so you can even mix-and-match your eero connection types. It should be noted that eero Beacons do not have Ethernet ports, so for a completely wired set up, you will only be able to use eeros.I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to give us a call at 1-877-659-2347 or email us at [email protected],Jeff, eero support
Question:	Is this the same as a netgear wifi extender
Answer:	Hi Macjune,Thanks for reaching out and for your question about eero.If I understand your question correctly, you are wondering if you can use eero with another router? The answer is yes and also no.If you'd like to use another router in front of your eero, you can do so. You would have two options here—running two networks or running your eero in bridge mode. With the latter, you would lose many of eeros advanced features, and all the networking settings will be handled by the upstream router. You would still get the benefits of eeros mesh.If you are asking if you can start with an eero and then add another router to expand the mesh, this isn't possible. eero's can only work with other eero and eero Beacons.I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to give us a call at 1-877-659-2347 or email us at [email protected],Jeff, eero support
Question:	Do the bacons plug into an electric outlet
Answer:	Hi Dan!Thanks for reaching out and for your interest in eero. In a 2700 square foot home, you would likely be just fine with an eero and eero Beacon. With that said, it really depends on your home, the materials used, and the overall layout.Getting started with an eero and eero Beacon is a good start, and you can of course always add additional eeros where needed.I hope this helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I eliminate my present router that I rent from my carrier, Verizon
Answer:	Yes. You can replace your current router with Nest Wifi router. But if you have a modem/router combo, you can't. Because you need a modem with a functional Wi-Fi network to connect your Nest Wifi router to. If that is the case, you can put your combo in Bridge mode or disable its Wi-Fi functionality, so that you can connect your Nest Wifi devices together to create a mesh network and avoid a Double NAT. You can find out more about Bridge mode and Double NAT here: https://support.google.com/wifi/answer/6240987?hl=en
Question:	Can the primary router be connected to a switch and from the switch to a secondary router (and later perhaps a third)..for a hardwired connection
Answer:	Yes, you can connect a switch to your primary router and then secondary and tertiary points to the switch. Your network should look like this: Modem > Primary Nest Wifi router > Switch > Secondary Nest Wifi point and Tertiary Nest Wifi point. You can have a look at other alternate hardwire options here: https://support.google.com/wifi/answer/7215624?hl=en
Question:	Can I add these to my current Google Mesh network or are they incompatible with each other
Answer:	Absolutely. Nest Wifi is compatible with existing Google Wifi systems. You can easily add a Nest Wifi point or use your existing Google Wifi system to extend coverage in your home.
Question:	Can the two be connected via Ethernet to use a wired backhaul
Answer:	Yes. The Amazon pack is multiples of Routers. The routers do have ethernet backhaul. The comment about 200/200 is incorrect. I have some backhauled via cat6 and 5e and I get close to full speed at the spoke point. Now if you wireless to the point and hardwire to a computer past that, you're limited to the wireless speed. These are great units, you won't be disappointed unless you need really complicated network setups with VLANS or something
Question:	If I install this in my attic directly above the center point of my 2 story 4000 square foot home should it provide full coverage
Answer:	Coverage varies by type of construction ..in my country UAE the homes construction of concrete, and can not be covered this area!
Question:	Way inside the user's manual it says to always use shutdown cmd instead of just removing power otherwise the firmware can become corrupt. What
Answer:	I don’t all the time but It’s always good to play it safe.
Question:	Does this work with at&t U-verse? I can't connect to 192.168.1.2. Difficult to setup
Answer:	Yes, I have At&t U-verse, best to call Zyxel customer support, they are very good, and will walk you thru steps

Smart Antenna Wi-Fi Access Point The Perfect Choice for Easy 802.11ac Migration

the Gigabit era in Wi-Fi connectivity, upgrading to the 802.11ac standard represents the next step in wireless evolution. Many enterprises looking to break the 1-Gbps Wi-Fi speed barrier face the challenge of replacing existing 802.11n access points. While 802.11n operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency band, 802.11ac predominantly uses the 5 GHz band which by its nature traditionally reduces coverage when compared to 2.4 GHz. This led to costly and time consuming efforts for installers to ensure that sufficient APs were installed to give complete coverage.

ZyXEL Smart Antenna technology is a groundbreaking feature of the WAC6502D-S of wireless APs that solves the coverage problem by adaptively adjusting antenna patterns to fit a variety of wireless environments. The Smart Antenna’s industry-leading RF output power and sensitivity combine to offer greater coverage and performance over traditional networks, making ZyXEL’s WAC6502D-S the ultimate one-to-one AP upgrade choice.

As well as ZyXEL Smart Antenna technology, the WAC6502D-S includes several other new features including the innovative APFlexTM, tool-less mounting bracket, and many other software enhancements such as the ZyXEL One Network utilities, making the WAC6502D-S a complete product designed to streamline network installation and speed deployment for the best possible Wi-Fi experience.

Breakthrough Smart Antenna technology for any environment

The WAC6502D-S of 802.11ac APs delivers industry leading performance, thanks in part to its innovative Smart Antenna design. Featuring more than 700 optimized antenna patterns, the ZyXEL Smart Antenna continuously calculates the ideal physical-layer path for each individual client. This feature not only offers the best possible signal by shaping to various patterns, but it also mitigates interference from other wireless clients. The WAC6502D-S’s ultra-fast capabilities makes it perfect for delivering premium performance in interference-laden environments, such as conference rooms, airports, educational facilities and other high-density venues. And the series’ enhanced adaptability further simplifies one-to-one AP replacement.

Best-in-class coverage and performance

In a Wi-Fi market crowded with 802.11ac APs, the WAC6502D-S stands out with regard to performance and coverage due to its unique RF design. The AP’s three-stream hardware configuration provides power of up to 30 dBm while providing unequaled receive sensitivity as low as -102 dBm. The ZyXEL Smart Antenna doubles the WAC6502D-S’ performance over conventional internal antennas, and performs three times (3x) better than legacy 802.11n APs.

Easy and instant deployment with APFlex, DCS, and tool-les

ZyXEL APFlex eases installation by resolving the managed/standalone AP mode configuration, automatically integrating into the network environment with or without Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), eliminating the need for pre-installation preparation. Other helpful features include Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS), avoid the interference of co-channel and overlapping channel at initialization. In addition to software solutions, the WAC6502D-S simplifies installation through creative design features. For example, the universal and tool-less bracket design allows for flexible ceiling track mounting without the need for special tools. From software to hardware, the WAC6502D-S makes setup and operation fast and simple.

Efficient and reliable Wi-Fi network

The WAC6502D-S ensures users get the best possible overall network performance by utilizing load balancing and client steering. Load balancing allows administrators to set limits on network traffic and the number of clients associated with each AP. Client steering monitors the capabilities of each wireless client and steers them to the less congested band and better signal AP. When it comes to deployments in challenging cabling locations, wireless mesh networks help extend Wi-Fi coverage. ZyXEL’s proprietary ZyMesh* creates reliable and resilient mesh links instantly. Yet the configuration is intuitive and centralized manageable on NXC controller. ZyMesh improves network reliability through true wireless connectivity with repeater APs selecting multiple routes to provide backup and failover for uninterrupted service. Together, these three technologies provide the WAC6502D-S with unbeatable efficiency and reliability.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between these wall plugs and the RE300 individual items
Answer:	I would like to give you some personal advice. Do not buy any type of Netgear extender. They do not work at all. What you need to do is get a expensive router that is the best thing for your Wi-Fi system. Amazon can supply you with that. Or go to Best Buy and test it out. Trust me extenders do not work. You’re throwing your money away.
Question:	I can't find any substantive information about the deco m3 online. what's the difference between the m3 and m5 (other than cosmetics
Answer:	Try using the extender's IP address - just enter 192.168.1.250 in the browser window, while the unit is powered and in close proximity to your router, which should be powered also, of course !
Question:	can i plug a unit into my barn
Answer:	The wifi range extender gets really warm when its plugged in. I personally keep it out of sunlight areas to avoid overheating Hope this helps
Question:	Does the base station have ethernet ports for routing? If so, are they gigabit
Answer:	This device has been designed to integrate with virtually any router - as for coverage, your square footage is paramount, i.e., beyond 1200 sq ft, your extension will be negligible. Hint: 1200 sq ft is nearly a 35 x 35 square !
