The manufacturer NETGEAR has launched its new solution to set up a WiFi Mesh network throughout our home, and with the new 6GHz band it presents, since it supports the new Wi-Fi 6E standard that will provide us with the possibility of connecting to this new band and achieve really high speed. The new team is NETGEAR Nighthawk MK93Sand is included within the entry range in the WiFi Mesh systems with the new Wi-Fi 6E standard, because the manufacturer NETGEAR has top-of-the-range models that cost more than €600 to have total coverage in our home. Do you want to know the characteristics of this affordable model to enter the world of 6GHz?
The new 6GHz band is not used at all right now, so it is perfect for us to use it without having any type of interference with other neighboring networks. In this new band we are going to obtain real speeds of more than 1Gbps without many problems, but you must keep in mind that we will notice the difference in coverage compared to the 5GHz band, and we will have much less, so, if your house is very large, you will have to put this WiFi Mesh system so that you do not have coverage problems.
Main features
This new WiFi Mesh system from the manufacturer NETGEAR is aimed at a user who wants to enjoy high speed, both wired and wireless, since the nodes can be interconnected with each other through the 6GHz band to avoid any type of interference and the maximum possible speed.
The main wireless features are that it has Simultaneous triple band with Wi-Fi 6E and is AXE5700 class. In the 2.4GHz band we can achieve a speed of up to 861Mbps, thanks to its two internal antennas in MU-MIMO 3T3R configuration and the 40MHz channel width. In the 5GHz band we can achieve a speed of up to 2,400Mbps, thanks to its two internal antennas in MU-MIMO 2T2R configuration and the 160MHz channel width. Finally, in the 6GHz band we can achieve a speed of up to 2,400Mbps, thanks to its two internal antennas in MU-MIMO 2T2R configuration and also the 160MHz channel width. This equipment has all the technologies of the Wi-Fi 6E standard such as OFDMA and MU-MIMO, as well as Beamforming to focus the wireless signal on WiFi clients.
At the wireless level, this NETGEAR Nighthawk MK93S model has the same characteristics both in the router and also in the satellites. Finally, the firmware has WPA3-Personal protocol support To provide the WiFi network with the best possible security, this aspect must be taken into account because in the 6GHz band support for WPA3 is completely mandatory, since WPA2 cannot be used here.
The NETGEAR Nighthawk MK93S, which acts as a router, has a 2.5G Multigigabit port for the Internet WANwe also have a total of three Gigabit Ethernet ports for the LAN. In the case of the MK93S that acts as a satellite, we only have two Gigabit Ethernet ports for LAN. We must keep in mind that these devices allow us to interconnect them via Ethernet network cable to have Ethernet Backhaul and achieve the best possible performance through the wired network.
This model has a powerful Quad-Core processor at 1.7GHz speed, so we can achieve high cable and WiFi transfer rates, to make the most of the fiber optic connection to the home.
This model has the Nighthawk App that will allow us to install, configure and manage our high-performance WiFi Mesh system locally and remotely. The firmware has advanced parental control to protect the little ones in the house, we also have NETGEAR Armor, a Bitdefender technology that will allow us to protect all devices connected by cable or WiFi to the system, and in this way avoid and mitigate possible attacks.
Regarding the price of this equipment, we can buy the WiFi Mesh system (pack of one router + two satellites) for €550, a high price, but we must keep in mind that we have the router and two nodes, in addition, they have the latest technology Wi-Fi 6E.
We recommend you access the official website of the NETGEAR Nighthawk MK93S where you will find all the details about this new WiFi Mesh system with the Wi-Fi 6E standard.
