Instead of one router trying to reach every room from a corner of the house, three units share the job, covering homes up to 4,500 sq. ft. under one WiFi name and password.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho the Nighthawk MK6W Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium to large homes, or multi-story homes, where one router leaves weak spots upstairs, in the basement, or out back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouseholds with a growing list of phones, TVs, laptops, cameras, and smart home devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone renting a gateway from their internet provider who wants to own their WiFi instead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who want simple app-based setup rather than a router admin panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCoverage: Three Units, One Network\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MR60 router plugs into your modem. The two MS60 satellites go wherever the signal needs help, such as a far bedroom, a home office, or the garage side of the house. Your devices see one network name and move from unit to unit as you walk around, so a video call in the kitchen keeps going when you head upstairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNETGEAR rates the three-piece kit for up to 4,500 sq. ft. If you need more reach later, the system is expandable with additional MS60 satellites, and it supports the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED EasyMesh standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiFi 6 Speed and Capacity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MK6W is a dual-band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) system rated AX1500, which means combined WiFi speeds up to 1.5 Gbps across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. It uses four WiFi streams, along with OFDMA and MU-MIMO, two WiFi 6 features that let the system talk to several devices at the same time instead of making them wait in line. Beamforming on both bands focuses the signal toward your devices rather than broadcasting evenly in every direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn everyday terms, that is plenty for 4K streaming, video calls, online gaming, and a house full of smart devices running at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePorts and Wired Connections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MR60 router has one Gigabit WAN port (for your modem) and one Gigabit LAN port (for a wired device or a network switch). Each MS60 satellite has one Gigabit LAN port, which can connect a nearby wired device such as a game console, smart TV, or desktop PC. If your home has Ethernet runs, that same satellite port can link the satellite back to the router by cable, freeing up the wireless bands for your devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSetup and Security\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetup runs through the free Nighthawk app on your phone. The app walks you through connecting the router, placing the satellites, and naming your network. After that, you can use it to see connected devices, run an internet speed test, set up a guest network, and check on your network while away from home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system supports WPA3-Personal, the current WiFi security standard, along with automatic protections like Secure Boot that block tampered firmware. NETGEAR Armor, an optional security service, is available as a paid subscription after a 30-day trial. The mesh system works fully without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNETGEAR Nighthawk MK6W Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"mg-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMK6W (MK6W-100NAS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 MR60 router, 2 MS60 satellites\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWiFi standard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiFi 6 (802.11ax), dual-band\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpeed class\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAX1500 (combined up to 1.5 Gbps)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWiFi streams\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCoverage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 4,500 sq. ft.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRouter ports (MR60)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Gigabit WAN, 1 Gigabit LAN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSatellite ports (MS60)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Gigabit LAN each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWiFi 6 features\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOFDMA, MU-MIMO, beamforming on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMesh standard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWi-Fi CERTIFIED EasyMesh, expandable with added satellites\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSecurity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWPA3-Personal, guest network, Secure Boot, optional NETGEAR Armor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMemory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256 MB flash, 512 MB RAM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize (each unit)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.8 x 4.8 x 2.5 in, 0.63 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManagement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNighthawk app (iOS and Android)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne MR60 Mesh WiFi 6 router\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo MS60 Mesh WiFi 6 satellites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Ethernet cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree power adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNighthawk MK6W vs MK62 and MK63\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three kits use the same compact MR60 router and MS60 satellite design, so they look nearly identical. The MK62 is a two-piece kit (router plus one satellite) rated for up to 3,000 sq. ft. The MK63 and the MK6W are both three-piece kits rated for up to 4,500 sq. ft. The difference is the speed class: the MK62 and MK63 are rated AX1800, while the MK6W is rated AX1500. Coverage and features are otherwise the same between the two three-piece kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Nighthawk MK6W work with my internet provider?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The MK6W is a WiFi system, so it works with any provider. It connects by Ethernet cable to whatever modem, gateway, or fiber terminal brings internet into your home, including Xfinity, Spectrum, Cox, AT\u0026amp;T, Verizon Fios, CenturyLink, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the MK6W include a modem?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It replaces your router and WiFi, and it needs a separate modem (or your provider's gateway) to supply the internet connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere should I place the MS60 satellites?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut each satellite roughly halfway between the router and the area with weak signal, out in the open rather than inside a cabinet. A satellite needs a good connection to the router to pass a good connection along to your devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add more satellites later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The system is expandable with additional MS60 satellites, and NETGEAR rates each added satellite for roughly 1,500 sq. ft. of extra coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a NETGEAR Armor subscription?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Armor is optional. WiFi, mesh coverage, guest networking, and the Nighthawk app all work without a subscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the MK6W compatible with Orbi satellites?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Nighthawk MK6W uses MS60 satellites. Orbi systems are a separate product line and their satellites are not interchangeable with Nighthawk mesh kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"mg-cross\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mg-cross-kicker\"\u003eKeep comparing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee every whole-home option in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mesh-network-systems\"\u003emesh network systems\u003c\/a\u003e collection, browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wireless-routers\/Wifi6\"\u003eWiFi 6 routers\u003c\/a\u003e if a single unit fits your space, or add reach to a router you already own with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wifi-range-extenders\"\u003eWiFi range extender\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.mg-desc{color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc p,.mg-desc li{font-size:17px !important;line-height:1.6 !important;color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc ul{margin:0 0 18px 22px;padding:0;}\n.mg-desc li{margin:0 0 6px;}\n.mg-desc h2{font-size:24px !important;line-height:1.25 !important;margin:28px 0 10px !important;padding:0 !important;color:inherit;font-weight:700;}\n.mg-desc h3{font-size:19px !important;line-height:1.3 !important;margin:18px 0 6px !important;color:inherit;font-weight:700;}\n.mg-desc .mg-specs{width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:10px 0 20px;font-size:16px !important;color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc .mg-specs th,.mg-desc .mg-specs td{padding:8px 10px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.3);text-align:left;vertical-align:top;color:inherit;font-size:16px !important;}\n.mg-desc .mg-specs th{width:38%;font-weight:600;background:rgba(10,94,166,0.06);}\n.mg-desc .mg-cross{border:2px solid #b3a486;border-left:6px solid #b3a486;border-radius:10px;padding:12px 18px;margin:24px 0;background:rgba(179,164,134,0.08);color:inherit;}\n.mg-desc .mg-cross p{margin:0;font-size:17px !important;}\n.mg-desc .mg-cross .mg-cross-kicker{font-size:12px !important;letter-spacing:0.08em;text-transform:uppercase;opacity:0.7;margin:0 0 4px !important;}\n.mg-desc .mg-cross a{color:inherit;text-decoration:underline;}\n@media (max-width:768px){\n  .mg-desc p,.mg-desc li,.mg-desc .mg-cross p{font-size:16px !important;}\n  .mg-desc h2{font-size:22px !important;}\n  .mg-desc .mg-specs,.mg-desc .mg-specs th,.mg-desc .mg-specs td{font-size:15px !important;}\n  .mg-desc .mg-specs th{width:42%;}\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Netgear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888446419030,"sku":"CMR047A-FBA","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/9463\/2534\/files\/CopyofUntitledDesign_1_f7243b7c-4c36-4051-9977-0baf6f34facc.png?v=1789840329","url":"https:\/\/www.modemguides.com\/products\/netgear-nighthawk-mk6w-wifi-6-mesh-system-3-pack","provider":"ModemGuides","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
