[@franciscom431]

Thanks a lot really for the time you spent giving me much an in depth answer. I will try doing all that and still have almost 1 1/2 year warranty left ( bought the router in Switzerland where customer laws are better than in the US and warranties are in general 2 years by law).Once think I can tell you for sure is that Netgear does not have a good customer service at all. I have had Linksys routers since the legendary WRT 54G and their customer service is outstanding. I will keep you posted if any of your solutions works. I am going to do a factory reset. Never did it. Firmware it up do date, and the App is the only way you can connect Everywhere Access ( couldn't find it in the web interface).

[@JbTechFanatic]

I'm happy to help as best as I can and I completely agree with you about the customer service 💯 now we just need to find a way to log you into your router as everywhere access is not useful to help you. We need to connect locally. One way to log into your router you must be connected to your Wi-Fi network and be at home do this on any mobile device like your phone once you're connected pull down your Wi-Fi from the top bar hold down the Wi-Fi icon you should now see that you're connected to your home network and there should be a little settings tool next to your Netgear once you press that you should have an option to manage router once you click on manage router is going to ask you to sign in to your router if you have not set up a way to sign into your router the standard password and sign-in is username is admin and password is the password until you change it. If that doesn't work another way to do it is open up your web browser like Chrome make sure that you're connected to your home network through Wi-Fi and type in To log in to your NETGEAR router with a web browser: Launch a web browser from a device that is connected to your router's network. Enter routerlogin.net or 192.168.1.1 in the address bar. The router login window displays. Lastly if it does not work through Wi-Fi hard wire an Ethernet cable directly into your router and do the same...

So i was staring at in in the middle of the night thinking that it looked cool. So i decided to buy some Phillips hue products and boom i was hooked after i saw all the cool things that you were able to do with lighting i cant stop trying new rgb lights.

[@ChrisJoned]

Hi did you switch of upnp and also remote management great video 1 sub

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching and subscribing. I appreciate your support 💯 you can turn remote management on and off in the night hawk app in account settings 👍 To enable or disable Universal Plug and Play: Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your router's network. Type www.routerlogin.net. A login window opens. Enter the router user name and password. The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive. The BASIC Home page displays. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP. The UPnP page displays. Select or clear the Turn UPnP On check box. By default, this check box is selected. UPnP for automatic device configuration can be enabled or disabled. If the Turn UPnP On check box is cleared, the router does not allow any device to automatically control router resources, such as port forwarding. If you selected the Turn UPnP On check box, the following steps apply to you: a. Type the advertisement period in minutes. The advertisement period specifies how often the router broadcasts its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points receive current device status at the expense of more network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic. b. Type the advertisement time to live in hops. The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value. 6. Click the Apply button. The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing the router and which ports (internal and external) that device opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is open and whether that port is still active for each IP address. To refresh the information in the UPnP Portmap table, click the Refresh button.

Hi Jb, finally have a RAX200 on order with Best Buy will arrive in 3-4 days. My question is the RAX120 seems like it may be a bit better. Specs say it has a larger coverage area, faster CPU, etc.... than the RAX200..What’s up with them having their newer versions of items being dumbed down with less range and slower processors. I noticed this Btwn the RAX80 and the newer RAX70. The main thing I can really see is they are Tri instead of the older ones are a Duel. Do you lose range When you go from Dual to Tri?

[@JbTechFanatic]

First congratulations on your new router it's exciting for sure🤩💯 Its important to understand the rax120 is a outstanding product and still better than most out. So when you get into these top tier products you will always be able to sit back and pick one spec over another. So the good news is either one you will likely love as far as what is superior the rax200. Does everyone need everything it has definitely not. Tri band will always be a advantage to me as i like having my own 5ghz channel that is equally as powerful and i dont have to share. I get the same distance out of my rax120 and rax200 in 5ghz but i get more distance out of the 2.4 on the rax 200. The rax200 will also provide more speed on 2.4 and 5ghz and you also get the lastest more refined less bugs if you will wifi6 as well as 128AES encryption. In my mind there is no doubt a better product rax200 with the biggest spec sheet difference the processing speed that by the way I have noticed zero difference in my extensive testing. This all comes down to personal preference how many people and items you have in your home and what kind of speed you're bringing into your home truthfully if you don't have at least gig speed coming in your home it's all kind of it waste anyway but at the end of the day they are the top two routers by Netgear and either of them should give you a great overall experience. The money sayings you can sometimes find on the rax120 might make it worth it to most customers. I hope this helps 😇💯

[@sobrien8478]

@@JbTechFanatic Greatly appreciate the lengthy reply. I plan on keeping the 200 when it arrives. I see people have mixed reviews but with proper tweaking sounds like it should be great. I don’t have gig Fios yet but I’d like to future proof myself for a few years at least.. The 200 was extremely difficult to order no one has had stock..Thanks again...great breakdown/explanations on your videos keep up the great work. Wish you well

Netgear Has A New Security selection that allows your Devices to enjoy the latest Security WPA3 & Devices Not compatible To still use WPA2 Please select the security type WPA2/WPA3-personal in place of just WPA2 to maximize your experience and Security😉 if for any reason you experience Connection issues after changing please feel free to still use standard WPA2 as shown in video😉 Also with the recent Software update Some features Moved to different pages than shown in video. when logged into the router if you see something missing? Just flip through the different pages to find. Netgear did keep all features shown.They just Moved some in the settings😊

[@qrabbin3482]

I Was about to give a thumbs down for the WPA2 while 3 is available but this comment made me change my mind :p

[@JbTechFanatic]

When I was filming most people did not have the ability to use it with their current software version widely available not beta. so I was just trying to make it less confusing and undated as soon as it was ironed out 💯 as of now though it has all selection up and ready including WPA3 only or wpa2 & wpa3 together so new and old devices in your home that don't support wpa3 have no problem connecting and can default to wpa2.

Yo. I followed your steps and my router lose internet connection. Had to reset the router. I'm not sure what happened. Nice video. New subscriber here

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 😇 💯 🙏 sorry to hear. Reason you can lose connection is Ssid must be exactly the same and box must be checked. Using a unsupported security format best to stick with Wpa2. The small button on the front of the router accidently got pushed this shuts off the ssid Manually and can't be undone with software. A setting or wifi format is not supported by your wireless devices. Lastly a software update was taking place depending upon your modem and service this can take up to 30 minutes never reset your modem if this is happening it can brick your device.. if this ever happens again other than software updates log into your router with a Ethernet connected computer and go though each category and make sure something was not accidently unchecked. 😇😉

Well how bout the Rax120, I hear qualcomm chips are better? Its not triband but it has 5g Wan/Lan... Which do you prefer?

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 😇💯 Netgear Rax120 is a outstanding router and especially for the savings of cash at this point is a great choice. Between the 2 Rax200 is superior overall but the rax120 definitely has a few specs that are better than the rax200. But as the entire package rax200 for me is better. I really like tri-band. So Currently I'm using the latest release Netgear AxE11000 this will definitely be king as it Features everything But hold off on purchasing until the software gets right 💯 ok so 3 routers now over a few years that all share something important They all are absolutely amazing 💯 at release we're pretty much the most premium of the series. so now we sit back think about what kind of items we have in our home what technologies we we'll invest in as far as Wireless goes. and what features will we take advantage of most. mixed in with cost there's something for everyone 💯 I agree Qualcomm chips are better but I absolutely prefer the rax200 but I'm a realist and do realize that for most people they would not notice the difference between the two to justify cost except for the obvious like tri-band😉 but for the power user they will definitely appreciate the upgrades in the ladder😊 But the Axe11000 is the future and within the next 30 days it should rain king for now. kzbin.info/aero/PLMdd-qroR8HUgQHQqSmMzPCQNZYuPeq4j

[@tlteal]

How would you stack this router up against the Amplifi Alien?

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 🙏 Great Question But unfortunately very difficult to cover everything and answer because everyone is different with their needs. So I will say this for me I would absolutely pick the netgear every day of the week. But that doesn't mean that the Alien is bad it's definitely a decent router. I look at it as a nice easy-to-use router. Downside is that used up building cost to build a small screen on the front that is just not needed instead of just making the internal components better and more powerful. With mesh options that can get ridiculously expensive if you need to add on. Also I needed 3 to get the same coverage as just my 1 ax11000. But is also why mesh systems are my last choice because they are built wanting you to buy several hubs. Then It's lacking some crucial features for someone like me WPA3 & Lag - link aggregation. Iot :internet of things: is important if you have smart items and care about security. Maybe some more features will come through software updates later. but for now my recommendation would be the netgear . But this is just my opinion based of my own actual experience and you might have the complete opposite and love the Alien 💯 hope this helps a little 😊

Is this really an overall better router than the Orbi RBK852? I know Orbi is a mesh system but I'm just torn between both.

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 🙏 great question This is only my opinion of course. But its 100 percent better. And if you need mesh you can add mesh. So even if you need mesh extensions you just can't really beat the power of this being the mother router. Its just a beast. Cost is the only true downside. But sometimes that is no issue for some. Every one is different but I place this as the best router I've ever tested/owned so far.

Wondering if I should set it up as an ln access point, or sell it. My issue is the upstairs seems to have pretty good WiFi, but not amazing.

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support and kind comment 🙏 😇💯 you definitely can But adding alot or extra single in your home. It is normal for speed to drop the further you go. So its a question of what is better. When you run a ap as a example if you are getting gig the ax11000 the ap likely will cut in half and then split the signal. A mesh extension like the X6MESH or better might be a better option as you can share the ssid dont have to disconnect and reconnect. But i would just use the channel scanner find a clearer channel and hopefully get better results with just one router.

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support and kind comment 🙏 😇💯 few things make sure the after you run you eternet connections that you reboot your router and then your items. Then under settings set-up then internet setup your Wan is set to 1gig. Then your IP is set to get dynamically from ISP. Next that your domain name is set get automatically from your ISP and lastly that your router Mac address is set to use default address. If it still is not working go under your qos settings as I show in the video make sure that you're connected ethernet products are not blocked simply highlighting the box next to it click on the item to edit and make sure that it is allowed to connect. And the right priority is set😉

Thanks for the review! I tried changing the settings on my Nighthawk AX12 but mine does not have WPA2 PSK-AES What option can I use instead?

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 😇💯 something is wrong it should be the first option on all ax12🤔 is there a software update? How are you viewing through the app or webbrowser? What to choose depends on the security type you need. Look down at The bottom of the webpage click the help tab scroll up look through the terms of security then pick the one that best suits your needs. This is important because some of the devices that you might try to connect might not work if you pick something else. Let me know

[@chadsalas9658]

Use WPA3 its better anyways idk why he says to use wpa2 its the older technology

[@JbTechFanatic]

Yes its newer and better BUT many of the devices that we own do not support it therefore the item's won't connect or will have issues I'm not saying all items will. So the reason why I recommend that in this video I think of 95% of people it wont work for and cause them issues that they won't know why. it won't connect. and usually the ones that have items that are capable already know of the differences. As a example With the x10 router if I was to say everybody turn your router to the ad technology only. it is definitely better. but likely you won't find one item in a home that will work with Ad so when you do stuff like that on a KZbin channel all of a sudden you have hundreds of people asking you why their Wi-Fi doesn't work. I've already dealt with 20 people that decided to go ahead and pick that option on their own and reached out to me because their items would not connect. But you're correct if you have technology in your home that is compatible hopefully that will be the future standard😇 hope this helps explain why

Thanks for the great video. I thought this Netgear router has a built-in modem as I was thinking of buying one to upgrade my existing modem/router. I don't want to have 2 devices, a router connected to a modem, with both device requiring power connection and taking more spaces. Would you recommend any top Tri-band wi-fi 6 router with built-in modem (if the device with such specs exist). I have not doubt the Netgear Nighthawk tri-band AX12 provide great performance but wouldn't this all depends on how good is the modem it is connected to? Netgear also has the OBI Wi-Fi 6 router. What is the difference between these two devices?

[@JbTechFanatic]

To be 100 percent honest I don't recommend all in one modem routers as my personal experience has never been good and they never perform as well as two separate devices. But having said that netgear and many other companies do make them with relatively new tech and fast speed. In fact most service providers sale or lease all in one units. Mesh systems are what your seeing orbi has pods spread out that connects wireless throughout your home using mesh they are for large environments. But maybe look into netgear all in one offerings you should get a good product through netgear 😉💯

[@VsSecretChannel]

One question I have that I can’t find the answer to is , Is it dynamic or static...? Can you change the IP to it by resetting or would I have to go get a whole new router of someone Ddos’s me & gets my IP address?

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 🙏 that is up to you and your provider. Its capable of bolth But I use Dynamic. If you want you can use static. your isp must provide the information and you would simply type it in. This can be changed and redone anytime but only directly logged in to your router the app would not work. Hopefully this helps

[@VsSecretChannel]

Jb TechFanatic Thank you i’ll have to check with my ISP then before making this purchase!

Great information and delivery. One question... I'm using a rather older router...Netgear's R6300 WiFi Router and would like to know if it is a good idea to have the same password for both 2.4 Ghz band and the 5.0 Ghz band or should the passwords be different? I've heard different responses . Thanks

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support and kind comment 🙏 Honestly it really makes no difference performance wise. I keep mine the same.

Hi JB, great review, honestly! I have a couple of questions I was hoping you could help me with. Sorry if its too much :-) 1. At the time you did this review it seems you only could enable OFDMA for the AX signal (10min,17sek), with todays software it´s possible to enable/tick 4 boxes for the OFDMA (AX, 2,4ghz and both 5ghz). Do you recommend me to enable all 4 boxes? 2. I´m only seeing one 5Ghz SSID - Should I be able to see both 5Ghz SSID´s? Or Does the AX12 by itself choose what device is on the lower channels(36) and higher channels(100) therefore I only see one of them? 3. Having some upload issues at long distance where download speed is 150-200 Mbps and upload the 10-15 Mbps, at closer range the upload bumps up to +500 (1000/500 service). By the way I´m half way testing the AX12 RAX200 against the RT-AX88U: 4 devices(AC/AX/N), 40-160mHz, 2 locations inside, 2 locations outside, AX/AC/2,4/5ghz, 3 speedtests on each band, device & location. For the inside testing the AX12 outperformed the AX88 except distance upload speed I mentioned above. 5Ghz Inside testing 6-7 meters: On average the AX12 outperformed the AX88 on both download and upload speeds. 7,3% faster download (764 vs. 712 Mbps), and 20,6% faster upload (515 vs. 427 Mbps). 2,4Ghz Inside testing 6-7 meters: On average the AX12 outperformed on both download & upload: 22% faster download (184 vs 151 Mbps) and 12,5% faster upload (153 vs 136 Mbps). 5Ghz Inside testing 12-13 meters: On average the AX12 outperformed the AX88 on download which was 25,3% faster (223 vs 178 Mbps) but on the upload the AX88 was 38% faster (49 vs 68 Mbps) which seems a bit odd. Only the AC signal was affected by slow upload speeds. 2,4Ghz inside testing 12-13 meters: On average the AX12 outperformed the AX88 with 64% faster download (128 vs 78 Mbps) and upload speeds were 10% faster (86 vs 78 Mbps). Again 64% download diff seems odd, but one of the AC devices was really struggling to find a signal. Outside testing I haven´t finalized. :-)

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support and kind comment 🙏 Ok first here is my video on getting good software as some updates have come out with some issues and this could be one problem.. link👇👇👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2PGgYCYg5mgd5Y As far as ax features like ofdma mimo ect Only use these if you have devices That are compatible otherwise leave them off But if you do use it on 2.4 and one 5ghz not the hi band. And yes you should see two 5ghz bands. but you won't if you accidentally unchecked the box for ssid on the second 5ghz band. Also What speed is coming into your home up and down? And is your provider consistent This is a huge problem in the industry. The providers speeds promised to be one thing but vary heavily Throughout the day. Then we think it's our router when it's actually our modem and our server Always test your speed through Ethernet with a gig capable Device. Then If your losing speed That is typically a congestion problem. Or the device your speed checking is not capable. Or your pinging off the wrong Tower to get a true read. Also could be in proper placement Causing interference or blocking From mirrors brick walls cordless phones and other wireless devices that are too close to your router. Note If you are using qos this will also limit your speed test as it divides it. If you want to get true results Find a device that is gig compatible Through Wi-Fi and Not many exist so you might have to upgrade your Wi-Fi card or buy a ax adapter. Once you know your device is capable & ready try this shut everything off except your one item that your speed testing with. Then go around your home and run speed test this will give you a true measurement of how much speed you're losing in different locations. It is very normal For this two vary different times of the day. Due to overall congestion in the air. As a rule of thumb you should be happy with at least 65% Of your speed Coming into your modem And out of your router. I leave my 2.4 gigahertz on auto And I use channel 60 DFS And 100 on my high band This might be different for your neighborhood but use the Netgear app To run a signal and analyzer. I hope this helps let me know😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqOmoqOsf8-KnJI

JB - Great video loaded with information. So, which is better: the Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR1000 or Nighthawk AX12 AX11000 RAX200? I currently have an older R8000 and think its time to upgrade. It works great and I can occasionally hit 900+ speeds but usually in the mid 800s. I am still using the stock AT+T U-verse modem (5868AC). I know there are probably better modems out there but did not want to spend the money if it was not necessary. My internet gets a daily workout since I work from home then game online. Any suggestions on the upgrade I should make?

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support and kind comment i appreciate you 🙏 Fist on your modem no need to upgrade if you are getting the speed you pay for its doing its job. At any point faster speeds come and you want them you might but just wait. Modem upgrade is going to increase your experience but is only needed if it's something you want as it sounds like you are getting great performance out of the one you own. But if you decide to get it both the models you mentioned are great I'm a huge fan of course of the ax 11,000 but the gaming router will have special software for gaming and ping Etc. But if you have a lot of devices the rax200 would do better both of them should give you a great experience if it was my choice I would stick with the ax11000 and check with your provider if they have the new game mode that many providers are now offering for an extra $5 a month this essentially does all the features a game router does specifically for games. but even better because your provider is making sure that it prioritizes gaming. all the important factors for gaming ping latency ect. I still choose the rax200 for my number 1 pick. When deciding you just got to weigh the pros and cons of both features but no matter what you're going to have a great router.

Two questions: 1. Will the OFDMA help me with 2.4 devices, such as wireless switches, etc.? 2. I currently have an XR500, would it work to save those settings and use them to restore into the AX12? 2.1 My main reason for that is obviously the SSID and more so I have a IP's reserved for certain things both wireless and wired.

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 😇💯 at 21 minutes in I start to go over more detail then the review section of each feature including OFDMA if you want more information. But yes it helps so so much. in fact I'm stunned how well it handles all my smart devices. Also you can definitely copy the settings of your xr500 and manually set your router up like it is now. When you follow my setup portion of the video make sure to copy your SSID exactly as your XR500 and compare settings to your current. But flashing it with a USB might or might not work🤔 unfortunately I didn't try it but the features/formats are different so I'm honestly unsure. But You could even run your XR500 as a access point if you wanted to keep certain items connected to it. If you decide to get one reach out any time if you run into issue's.

[@tcflint]

@@JbTechFanatic When I said save the settings, I specifically meant using the backup option to generate a .cfg file. Would this config file restore on the AX12 or only another XR500?

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 😇💯🙏 if your SSID is not showing up a few things could be wrong one there is a manual button on the top of the router right next to the WPS button if this is shut off it will not broadcast a signal no matter what you do also under the settings you will see a little box next to broadcast SSID there will be one for your 2.4 gigahertz signal and two for five gigahertz signal make sure that the box is checked and lastly if you use the Smart Connect feature it will broadcast one SSID with the same name for all of your bands your router will decide based off signal and device which one to connect it to automatically . The Wi-Fi analyzer is in the Netgear Nighthawk app it's labeled Wi-Fi Analytics simply swipe left for each category.

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 🙏 depending on how many devices you have connected and how big your house is what determines whether or not this is worth it for you. once its worth it to start getting into this caliber of router you definitely usually are around gig speed. But right now you're getting 100% of the speed that you're paying for. so it will not increase that. typically companies give you anywhere between 30 and 50 over the speed you pay for as a buffer for the slow periods. but when you start jumping into let's say a full gig you likely would pull only around 500 or around that and then if upgraded routers it would pull the full Gig likely. it's something to keep in mind for the future unless again you want better distance and more devices and the upload seems to be missing maybe? I would just wait until there is a good reason but thats just me.

It might not be worth it based off those factors. 600 dollar routers are extremely expensive and definitely are not need for a majority of people.

Thanks for the info and review. My old router was a Netgear R9000 and I had it setup with 3 WIRED WAC510 AP. I’ve been having intermittent connectivity issues which I believe where due to a router issue. This is one reason why I chose to upgrade to the AX1100. Prior to getting the new router I had bought a new AP WAC540. I’d like to configure it and the two other WAC510 with the new router. Can you help with that or give some pointers to optimize?

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching and subscribing I appreciate your support 🙏 😊 Thank you for the information. A few questions. Why do you need so many access points? How many devices are you running? What is the sq footage and build type. When you started to have these issues did it happen after adding Ap and did you use a Channel analyzer to see if it was Network congestion causing the dropped signals ? Did anything change in the environment did you add any mirrors new microwave did you change modems or move routers ect?

[@fmech7131]

Jb TechFanatic thanks for the quick response. My house is 2100 ft^2 with 4 bedroom. The Ethernet connection coming in to the house is the furthest bedroom in the house. I don’t have a Ethernet connection in the living room as the wall were my TV sits is a n outside wall. I’ve had issues.since day one getting a consistent WiFi signal in the LR which is centrally located. I started off with buying the Netgear R9000 router which helped some but still not enough. This is when I brought in a network “tech” who suggested that I add 3 AP throughout the house to help. They seemed to help for about a year and then I started having issues during peak times. This started right around March when I began working from home due to COVID-19. I checked my ISP speed and they were excellent. 946 Mbps up 466 Mbps down is avg. . A few weeks ago I started to dig a bit and found that Netgear had a WAC 540 which seemed to be able to handle load fir the current three that I have. I bought it thinking that I could setup in living room to replace the WAC510 that’s there. I have yet to install it. Last week my router started acting up and I noticed it was hot and my lights were blinking red. I tried a few things and came to conclusion that router is on the fritz. This brings me to the purchase of the new Netgear router. So I have about 15 to 20 WiFi connections (Directv, Roku, peloton, cell phones, iPads, two laptops for work, etc ) . I have four wired lan connections in the office where I have the new router. I have not used a channel analyzer and honestly would not know how to use one. I’m open fir recommendations here. I’m sure I probably don’t need the 3 current AP and will probably just setup the one WAC540 in the LR.

[@JbTechFanatic]

@@fmech7131 my thoughts is you dont need any extenders or Ap. The signal is so important and that is your issue and i believe that you are just on the wrong channel. Also the more wireless ap you add the more crowded wireless signals you create. The ax11000 gives me edge to edge coverage 2 stories 4k sqft and it gives me coverage in my front and back yard. Remember location is everything when it comes to a router you want it high in the air away from mirrors brick walls and microwaves cordless phones and other wireless devices you also can buy a long Ethernet cable and have your Wi-Fi far away from your modem if you want a better location. Follow my video step by step and I believe the 11,000 will fix all your problems. The channel analyzer is simple to use and it's built into the Netgear Nighthawk app simply open the app click on Wi-Fi analytics and swipe left it will tell you what channels are the best to use in have the least interference simply set your 5 gigahertz channels to those it recommends and leave your 2.4 gigahertz on auto follow each step in my video and let me know how it goes try not installing any of your access points let's see what happens first. If an extender is needed I would say one at Max let me know once you have it and it set up😇

[@fmech7131]

Jb TechFanatic I believe you are spot on on the channels. I was reading up a bit and even downloaded an app on to my phone. I can see where my neighbors WiFi is all over in the 2.4 ghz band. The Tech set it on auto which went to channel 2. I noticed that the issues tend to occur in the afternoon when many are getting home. I’ll try the router by itself and let you know

I'm doing this test at night and I disconnect most of the devices in my home as well

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing I'm thankful for your support 😇🙏💯 sorry to hear that your not getting your speed. First thing you need to do is get a computer that you know for sure has the ability to get gig speeds. Hardwired in to your modem do serval speed test then hardwired into your router do several speed test and tell me what speed you're actually getting from AT&T. it is extremely likely that they are not providing the speed that they promised. this happens everywhere all day long and is very frustrating. Also keep in mind when you connect wirelessly each device has a maximum capacity of speed as an example your device might only have a capacity of 50mbps. If that is the case then you can not use that item for a true speed test. Lastly follow my settings from this video this will help you at least maximize your speed from your router please let me know how these tests come out.

[@darrenpressley5003]

Need help with this router i just bought it a week ago and still cant configure it my set up is Netgear M1 Mobile into AX12 ax11000 router can this work..

[@JbTechFanatic]

Unfortunately that is a wireless router. you need to get a modem that provide service then the modem is plugged into the router which is the Netgear in this video. The M1 is a all-inclusive service so your devices should be just connecting wirelessly to that you shouldn't need a router. I'm not sure if the M1 allows bridge mode and has an Ethernet out to run an external router or not but likely not. I will look into it a little more for you when I get home but for now I'm pretty certain that you cannot use the two together unfortunately

Which wifi analyser you use in the iphone to find the best channels i am struggling to find one tks?

[@rafars2246]

Your video was very helpful to refresh my memory about why I don't like netgear routers. Those settings... I just cancelled my raxe500 preorder and preordered the gt-axe11000. I know the router is great, but I need more control over the settings. By the way, seeing your speed tests you should definitely use the 2.5gb port for wlan. That way you'll be able to get even better speeds. Now with the latest comcast speed update you could get over 1.4gb down.

[@JbTechFanatic]

Thank you for watching 👀 I can't wait to get the new Rax500 it looks to be amazing 🙌 I hope it ends up holding up its end. as far as settings I'm truly interested to know what settings netgear doesn't have that you need? Especially with the lastest firmware it has pages after pages of settings features ect almost overkill. Using the app of course shows way less and is made that way for the average consumer. So the app doesn't dig too deep into confusing setting. But when you log into your router It has everything I could think of. I use the 2.5 port I don't have Comcast but I'm now getting over 2g through wifi speed test on the few devices that supports that speed. But I'm happy they seem to continue to increase speeds. That's always exciting 💯 any way nice chatting with you be safe out there and have a great day 😇

[@rafars2246]

@@JbTechFanatic I ended up getting the raxe500 because it was in stock again last night hehe. Supposedly arrives this next Monday. So if you read this soon enough, it is still in stock. Now, you'll have to make a sacrifice. I'm not sure how the 5ghz band is going to look like, and the 6ghz band is not working well yet. I was actually wrong. The big deal for me with the settings was to be able to choose the channel in a particular band. I did a bit of deeper search and found that it was possible. Years ago I couldn't with a Netgear router that I had. So I'm happy with that. Everything else I don't care much. I'm actually very curious, you know we always had two 5ghz bands; each one of them with different channels to choose. So what happens now? Would we get a 5ghz band with all the channels that were occupying prior two 5ghz bands? Or maybe we just get the good 5ghz faster channel? Or maybe a mix of both? lol I'll let you know what that looks like. Now the only regret I have is that cool rbg light the gt axe11000 has. Other than that, hopefully this router is ok. I've being trough a router nightmare since this last November, and it is so frustrating to have a 1.2gb plan and not being able to use it. I thought you had Comcast because your uploads were slow like mine. Anyway, have a great weekend!!

[@JbTechFanatic]

Lol awesome I'm going to try to order it now. Rgb is so cool and definitely hard to give up. I Loved the netgear x10 rgb blue lights in the antennas. Im interested to know also how the will do the 5 and 6ghz. I hope they just combine it and the device can decide what to connect to based off it's capabilities. Yeah I have 2.5 gig and only 30 To 50 upload and it's so annoying lol. Definitely let me know how you like it. kzbin.info/aero/PLMdd-qroR8HX6m2-yUp6kM5nlH_phNo89

No problem anytime. Speed wise it would be a waste but yes to future prof distance and number of devices devices ect. But then it is easy to make the augment to wait for the price to drop. What i can say if you have or plan on getting lots of smart devices its definitely worth it now.
