I connect this and took me 5 minutes to set up, connect it with an Ethernet cable from the modem and configure it to be an access point rather than router. It works great, consistent speed with no drops and great range as well. Would highly recommend."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "First off, this thing can be either a wireless router or a wireless access point. While that may be awesome for some, I already have a capable router/firewall and do NOT want any access points accidentally handing out IP addresses if they lose their programming. I've had it happen before with other brands.\n\nAlso, I cannot stand the way Netgear includes a yellow Ethernet cable. You should NEVER bend an Ethernet cable like that. Roll it up in a circle with a diameter no smaller than a can of soda.\n\nAlso, being well versed in IT, setting these up was more difficult than it needed to be. If you're not technical, I can imagine that these would be super easy to set up. But power users may struggle a bit to find where some settings are hidden, and there are some that I still haven't found.\n\nBeen using them for over a week now and I'm getting good signal strength and throughput.\n\nI put one near the bedroom TV and the LEDs for the 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band are so bright and blinky that I had to move them so I could sleep.\n\nAlso, I don't see any way to mount them to a wall, mount them in a communications rack, etc. Pretty much all you can do is stand it up. I generally prefer a few more options so that they will fit in with the rest of my network equipment.\n\nI know I've mentioned a lot of stuff I don't like about these and Netgear devices in general, but they are very competent at doing what they are intended to do. If you can live with these minor annoyances, they should work just fine for you."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'While our modem and router are in the middle of the house, we have enough appliances and walls that it is pretty weak in the far reaches.\nWe wire 1GB Ethernet to the ends of the house, and are using this WAX202 as a wireless access point, and it has great signal.\nIt was easy to set up, so we had no need for reaching out to tech support.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "While this thing doesn't have the best range I've seen it does have very good speeds. With my phone (The fastest wifi 6 device I have) I hit 470Mbps down and 600Mbps up. On my Dell venue 11 (upgraded wifi chip to wifi 6) I hit a more modest 350 Mbps up and down but that is still plenty quick and when playing VR using Airlink this router suits my needs perfectly"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The Wi-Fi is signal is stronger than my router and a repeater I have.

Then bridged it via 5ghz wifi ssid to the main router and attached two pc's to this unit (wax202) with ethernet cables. Assigning IP addresses to the PC's from the main router. Internet speed tests consistently show 450+ Mbps with my gigabit internet connection.\nBought a second one of these. This one had older firmware and didn't show the bridge mode option. Thankfully another reviewer mentioned this same problem and how it was fixed by upgrading the firmware. That fixed it for me too."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have an older wifi router and this allows me to unload all wifi to it while keeping the router functions on the router.
