NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router (RS90) – Router Only, BE3600 Wireless Speed (up to 3.6 Gbps) - Covers up to 2,000 sq. ft., 50 Devices – 2.5 Gig Internet Port - Free Expert Help

Our RS500 replaces a Netgear XR500 that is no longer supported. WiFi connections to the XR500 were also beginning to exhibit connection issues and performance degradation. These problems have cleaned up with the RS500, which has no trouble delivering our ISP's 500Mbps up/down over WiFi and wired connections. Ping latency is 7ms with a wired connection and 9ms with a WiFi connection. Installation and setup was easy, and I preferred to use a web browser instead of the smartphone app. The RS500 supports 2.4Ghz, 5GHz and 6GHz WiFi channels, WiFi 7, and has a 2.5Gbps WAN port, one 2.5Gbps LAN port and three Gigabit LAN ports. One minor issue occurred during setup when it checked for a firmware update and reported that I had the latest firmware. After completing setup and signing in as admin, I found that the router firmware was not the most recent and needed an update. We've only been running the router for a few days now, but so far everything is stable and working well, with no hints of any functional or performance issues. I would definitely recommend the RS500, particularly at the currently available 25% discount price.

For regular people sitting around the house watching TV even working from home with no drama or heavy data requirements, this is the answer. Getting that notification that your modem is so old that anyone can hack it? Get this. It is easy to install, has a very small footprint unlike those ones with wings and antennae sticking out all over. The bubble for coverage doesn't extend a mile out so someone parked down the street at the corner can hack into your system. And, drum roll please, its cheap vs most everything else. I give a big thumbs up. YOU have to register it completely online so it will send a signal to your unit to fully activate it. DO THIS. It isn't an optional thing.

My old Nighthawk Router reach End of Life and this saved the day! Super functional and easy to use I plugged it in to my modem and had WIFI back up in no time! download speeds are super fast and it’s great for streaming! The quality is the best of the best and it was compatible with my spectrum modem.

Easy to install and activate. Suppose to have 6G signal strength, so we will see. Seems better already. Too bad I had to reset everything connected to internet like smart plugs/devices, etc. Hopefully this will provide better and more consistent access and connectivity to the internet. I have many smart devices so I have to have a robust and secure system. Love that there is a separate login for parental and guest controls. It seems to be compatible with everything in the home so far. Crossing my fingers. I was generally satisfied with my old Nighthawk but received notice that it was no longer supported. I knew the connection was not always the best and that was probably why.

Great router but not necessarily plug-and-play. Replaced previous Netgear that we had for 14 years but wanted to upgrade due to adding several WiFi devices. When we first plugged this router into our cable modem, the router turned on and we had WiFi access, but no internet. Turns out for our cable modem, the traditional method of turning on the cable modem first, then router did not work. We needed the router on and connected to the modem and then performed a software reboot on the cable modem. At that point the router was able to get an IP address and the internet starting working. Speeds (especially at 6Ghz) are incredible.

Easy set up. Very fast internet speeds. I have 10 different connections and all of them are lightning quick. Well worth the money. No more buffering.

Title: Stable & Simple Setup Description: Delivers solid Wi-fi 7 performance work great reliability for our busy household. Setup is quick. The app is informative and easy to use. Since install, it has run smoothly no matter how many devices are connected to it. The only recommendation I have is to include the option for an MLO network in future versions.

This is a great router. I experienced signal strength and fluctuations. Spent a month analysis and tried the isp router and another router. Went through tech support help, which was great. After a few hours with isp I determined the problem was isp. Changed isp and now everything is perfect. I gave 25 2.4 connections. String and less than 5 second response from cameras. I like clear id of each device and where whether 2.4, 5.0 or wired. I use the armor on the router on each connected device. I get 100mb with 25 devices attached, and that is important. Easy setup and easy to understand options, My only ding is I wish it was more horizontal than vertical. Very stable and compatable with all the devices. Very happy with the very stable router.
