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:	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:	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 !

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the My Mesh app compatible with my device
Answer:	Yes, can work as access point anywhere you put it
Question:	Can I allow my family or friend to manage my WiFi
Answer:	Yes this works with Alexa echo and other Alexa devices. All the Amazon devices can connect to your wireless network with this router and the satellite. Works great!
Question:	Can Meshforce replace my modem or router
Answer:	I’m not an expert and the distance is highly dependent on the layout of the house. I was able to span a distance of about 80-100 feet between the router and a satellite. This went through at least one wall and two windows. I can say that the new WiFi 6 is a little more powerful than the older version, which we also have used. For a consumer level product I doubt there is anything more powerful or effective.
Question:	What's the difference between wi-fi range extender and mesh wifi system
Answer:	No, it does not. However, the app gives you the ability to turn off connected devices (and turn them back on) anytime you want.
Question:	Can it be sealing mountable and work as Access point
Answer:	Regardless if Orbi can be daisy chained with wired cable ... if you can daisy chain routers, why not just set up an AP system. If you can hard wired the AP, there is no need for Orbi and you get much better performance. As to daisy chaining Orbi, yes, you can do that.. but that defeats the purpose of using Orbi. The main technological advantage with Orbi is its ability to have a 3rd backhaul channel through wireless connection. If you can using hard wired... just go with the proven WLAN AP (http://pigtail.azurewebsites.net/tp-link/large-building.PNG)... my organization use it to deploy over 200 wireless devices on the same lan without much overhead degradation.
Question:	does it work with alexa echo
Answer:	It all depends upon where you buy it. In the USA it is supplied with 115V power supplies one for the router and one each for the Satellites, this is OK of you live in the USA or somewhere where they have 115v power in the homes. If you live in the UK buy them in the UK they come with 240v power supplies, so they are OK for the UK, but come with the UK 3 pin sockets. In Europe theu come with two pin European adaptors suitable for Europes 220 v power. The problem is if you buy it in one country and want to run it in another. Netgear do not sell the power supplies separately. I bought mine in the Black Friday sales in the USA and brought them to the UK. I had to buy power supplies from Germany that were suitable for 240 volts and adaptors for continental to UK sockets. Be careful, you ned to know exactly what the pin size is the pin lengt and the pin inside and pouside diameters. To save you hassle you need Plug-in power supply unit, 12 V, 1000 mA, with -ve polarity on the outside The pin that plugs into the ORBI should be 5.5mm outside diameter and the socket 2.5mm inside diam. The length of the pin is 12mm.
Question:	How far will this send a signal
Answer:	Orbi One of the big differences is dedicated tri-band Wi-Fi for faster speeds! You can find a detailed explanation of the differences on our homepage: https://www.netgear.com/landings/orbi-wins/
Question:	Does this include the circle parental controls
Answer:	As of April/late May 2018, the latest firmware 2.1.4.10 has not only broken ethernet backhaul, but it also takes down your entire network such that no device can connect to the Internet if you leave the ethernet cable connected to satellite. There is no way to disable auto update of the firmware. I have had an open support case for nearly one month and have spent many, many hours in that time trying to troubleshoot. Never had this kind of issue with my Airport Extremes, which is no longer made, so I thought Orbi would be a good replacement given all the positive professional reviews.

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.
