-//Write a short, relevant description of the device. Include a technical overview, but avoid marketing buzzwords/useless stuff. Two to four sentences is about right. A picture is goodtoo. Edit the page to see how to add pictures./+The Netgear WAX202 is an WiFi 6AX1800 Dual Band Wireless Access Point/router

-FIXME Any text with a light background (like this one) provides instructions for creating the Details PageWhen you have filled in correct/useful information (instead of any template that's there) **remove the instructions, as well as the ''<nowiki><WRAP></nowiki>'' that encloses it.** +

-FIXME +
-===== Getting started with a new Device Page ===== +
-  - This is an empty template that suggests the information that should be present on a well-constructed Device Page. This means, that **you have to fill it with life and information.** +
-  - There are several "fixme" tags with text on a light background (like this text) throughout this template. As you fill in the page, remove those tags so that people can judge its completeness. +
-  - When there are no more "fixme" tags left, delete this one too, along with the ''<nowiki><WRAP></nowiki>'' that encloses it. +
- +
-===== Keep the articles modular ===== +
-  * Please include only model specific information, omit bla,bla and put everything generic into separate articles +
-  * If you have no time to write certain stuff, link to [[docs:start]] +
-  * [[docs:guide-user:base-system:start]] should lead the way, do not explain this again +
-  * DO NOT provide a complete howto here! Instead //groom// the [[docs:start|general documentation]]. +

-<WRAP BOX> 
-FIXME 
-  - The tables below are automatically generated, **once the correct filters for Brand and Model are set.** 
-  - If the tables below show information for ''<nowiki>NETGEAR WAX202 </nowiki>'', everything is OK and you can delete this text and the ''<nowiki><WRAP></nowiki>'' that encloses it. 
-  - If the tables below contain "Nothing found", it means that either 
-    - the dataentry page for NETGEAR WAX202  is missing. Please [[meta:create_new_dataentry_page|create a new dataentry page]] first, then reload this page. The tables should then contain $something. If they do, delete this text and the ''<nowiki><WRAP></nowiki>'' that encloses it. 
-    - filters are not set correctly. Most common reason for "Nothing found": The dataentry does not contain a Version, but we are filtering here for version -> Please **edit this section and adjust the filters with the proper Brand, Model and Version.** In case the dataentry does not contain a version, delete the line ''filter  : Versions~''. Just try, it's easy. The tables should then contain $something. If they do, delete this text and the ''<nowiki><WRAP></nowiki>'' that encloses it. 
-  - If the tables still contain "Nothing found": Don't panic, calm down, take a deep breath and [[:contact|contact a wiki admin]] (tmomas) for help.
