NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router (RS100) – 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.

This Wi-Fi router is awesome for the price. It runs circles over the Nokia router that my fiber internet company provided me. It can handle more devices simultaneously, has faster download and upload speeds, and the signal reaches further. Set up was a breeze and the app has many useful features.

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.

Happy with purchase; Solved some buffering/speed issues I was having. Good range too, can now update the car software in the garage! Only 4 stars tho as this should come with a CAT 6 ethernet cable NOT the cheap flimsy CAT 5E 32 gauge piece of garbage they include with it. Also the Armor protection is only for 30 days and really slows down older computers.

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.

Purchased this router to replace a three year old TP Link router due to slow speeds. Setup was real simple and the performance is great! The app is very user friendly, an all around upgrade. Now my internet speeds are where they should be.

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.

Excelente!

Exellent

El soporte de la Netgear esta en la India, no hablan español, apenas hablan ingles, y forzosamente quieren tu nombre, apellido y correo electronico para tomar tu llamada. Si no das esos datos, te cuelgan. Netgear ahora se dedica a la venta de datos personales, ya que no hacen routers que sirvan. Compre este router por que la pagina de netgear insiste que puedes configurar un cliente VPN directamente en el router. Esto es categoricamente FALSO. El submenu que su misma documentacion indica, NO EXISTE dentro de este router, ende, NO ES POSIBLE configurar una VPN. Falla seguido. De la nada mis servicio deja de navegar. No indica falla o perdida de señal, o un timeout. Simplemente deja de cargar lo que sea, ya sea por wifi o por ethernet. El problema se soluciona inmediatamente conectando directamente al modem de mi provedor de servicios. Si, es cierto. Es Wifi6, pero solo para dispositivos mobiles. Mi PC tiene una tarjeta de red que tambien es wifi6, y por ninguna razon el router solo le permite una conexion tipo 802.11n, lo cual te limita a 200Mbps. No hay forma de conectar mi PC en 802.11ac o 802.11ax. Curiosamente, al compartir datos con mi celular a la misma PC, esa conexcion SI ES 802.11ax. Es decir, no es un problema con la PC, ni con el celular. El router simplemente limita las conexciones de PCs a 802.11n, y no hay forma, no hay manera de forzar al router a utilizar 802.11ax. Y por alguna razon todo quieren que sea por su jodida app.

A brilliant piece of kit ... fast and smooth with plenty of gear hanging off it

Much smaller than I anticipated compared to my previous Nighthawk but no issues as of yet. The previous one lasted about 5 years. Seems to work well with WiFi 6/7 and handles cloud gaming effortlessly. (Tested with Nvidia GEFORCE Now and Xbox Cloud)
