Design

Mesh systems are multi-band networking devices that operate on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio bands and use 802.11ac wireless technology. Some models offer support for Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) technology, which streams data to multiple compatible wireless clients simultaneously rather than sequentially.

Pros

Extremely cheap
Easy to expand
Stable coverage

Cons

A little slow at the range
Few additional features

Conclusion

Officially the least expensive Wi-Fi 6 mesh system that we’ve reviewed, the Netgear Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System is really a budget solution to get the most recent wireless technology. It’s an exceptionally basic system, without parental settings or protection, and rate drops off over variety when you depend on a radio link between satellites. When you can change to Ethernet after that performance significantly improves. It isn’t for everybody then, but people that have the proper cabling or with limited funds will find too much to like.
