Netgear Qsc

[Sherry Galeazzi]

MyWiFi strength has gone many folds than earlier model & that was R 6080 in my house. Now we are very satisfied with respect to signal strength in my 1200 sq-ft house . Now streaming is getting much stronger signal strength. Thanks to my always preferred Netgear. Finally, installation very easily done by us.

Earlier I had RBS50 1+1 which I have been using for more than 5 years and this one is much better mesh experience. Except for the futureproofing limitation (4.2 gbps, (i currently use 1 gbps) which might still be ok till End of Life of this device), this product is a great fit

The router + 1 satellite I bought recently have been able to cover around 3000 Sq.ft well.The satellite is placed about 25ft. away from the router separated by two walls , each twelve+ inches thick (with windows) and the 2.4GHz backhaul link is able to decently spread out the 75 mbps internet connection from my ISP.If you have a Gigabit internet connection,please look for a costlier model.The only con is that router is mildly limited in it's feature set. Otherwise would highly recommend overall.

Writing my review after 20 days of usage of NetGear EX6120 Wifi Extender. I've had used NetGear Wifi Extender in past for around 5-6 years until the old one got damaged due to an electricity fault. Ordered for this one and was not amazed by it's performance. It's been working flawlessly and plus point I got ethernet port that I can connect my laptop even to other rooms where Wifi signal was hard to find. Thanks to NetGear Wifi Extender that provided me coverage with AC dual band [ to every corner of my house], though sometimes there is little drop in speed. Overall Very much satisfied by it's performance, signal coverage. Setting up is so easy, once the setup is done you are all set to get Wifi coverage everywhere. My 5 Star to NetGear Wifi Extender.

I just ordered the product after two weeks long discussion with Malik. He described the product specifications very well and cleared my doubts.

Product is received within 2 days of placing order.

Will share the performance review later.

Had a pleasant experience in purchasing this product. Malik from customer support answered to all my queries proactively and also ensured that the product is delivered super fast. The product itself is very good .Installation was super quick and easy . Now there are no more dead wifi spots in my house.

I wanted a mesh system to increase range while maintaining good speeds and this system doesn't disappoint. It's really good and ready for current gen. It's way cheaper then it's bigger brother the ax6000 which I was looking at but found that too costly. The response and shipping was also fantastic from netgear team.

So in our environment we have a cisco and netgear devices. Specifically 2960x and gs7xxtpv2(netgear). Our core 3750 is using rapid pvst (it shows up as rstp) and all of our netgear devices are set to rstp. We only have 2 vlans so it's a rather small network. 100 for voice 101 for data. On all of our cisco switches if i do show logs I get a lot of mac flapping for devices in vlan 101 and on the netgear sometimes i see a lot of port up/downs/bridge topology change notifications/ports going through stp phases. The network seems to run fine and no real issues with network connectivity or bandwidth or anything. However, something I noticed recently is that netgear devices connected to netgear devices all show RSTP however, on our 2960x switches it seems those are using pvst. I've seemed to have a lapse in knowledge and did not remember that pvst is essentially STP. So netgear - netgear it shows RSTP but netgear - cisco it shows STP. I took a spare cisco and netgear switch and set them up locally and connected them together and enabled rapid pvst ont he cisco switch and on netgears side of the link it shows RSTP. So would that explain some of the topology change notification, the port flapping errors and the mac flapping? Has anyone else ever run into that issue with cisco/netgear environment?

For the most part, there's no real issues I've noticed and as far as our ethernet network goes, we've never had any outages.

Netgear can run mst but for our small networked environment I feel rstp may be better suitable i feel like mstp might be a bit more complex/overkill for our environment. Our core layer switch is using RSTP (rapid pvst) and netgear is set to use rstp. But looks like our distribution/access cisco switches are using pvst which when connecte to netgear shows up as STP. So i think I'll run RSTP in our enviornment. We only have 2 vlans and I think even 5 years down the line I can see only a need to add like 2-3 more vlans. I"m going to implement a management vlan, and a wireless vlan eventually.

Will do. I'm hoping it's just a bit of a weird misunderstanding. Like on our core cisco switch, "show spanning-tree" shows "rstp" but the only options are mst, pvst and rapid-pvst. And testing it on a spare cisco/netgear switch, changing the cisco to rapid-pvst shows the spanning tree mode as rstp and netrgear shows rstp as it should. The more you know. I'll plan to make the change on our cisco switches tonight so I'll let ya'll know how that goes.

So i was able to switch the core switch over to rapid pvst with no issue. Unfortunately that didn't resolve the map flapping notifications. I read somewhere that it can be normal as it might be users roaming from one AP to another. But we virtually have no vlan segmentation. We have vlan 1 for everything and vlan 100 for ip phones. So I'll go ahead and close this and since we're getting a new core switch I may take that opportunity to segment our traffic a bit more with vlan 10 to replace vlan 1 and vlan 3 for APs and 20 for servers.
