Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This WAX204 device only lets you access the complete setup 3 times before requiring registration, which prevents any kind of subsequent wireless configuration, and it won't even display connected devices. The registration process requires internet on the device, which defeats the advertised use as an access point. Registration demands that you give Netgear all kinds of rights to your data, and I can confirm the device was regularly sending encrypted data to an AWS server, even without registration, despite the access point claiming that it could not access the internet for registration. It is useless as a stand-alone access point on a secure network allowing internal management only. As a result, I will not have anything attached to my network that demands rights to my content, and permission to spy, and it probably violates HIPAA, so I'm returning it. 9.1 By uploading, transmitting, creating, posting, displaying or otherwise providing any User Content, You hereby grant NETGEAR a worldwide, royalty-free, nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicenseable and transferable license to (a) use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, make derivative works of, publicly perform and publicly display such User Content on the Services to the full extent necessary to provide the Services, and (b) maintain a copy of the User Content (including all related intellectual property rights) for archival and legal purposes (“ User Content License”). 12.4 Data Analytics.
