NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi 7 Router RS100, Up to 2,000 sq ft, 3.6 Gbps

Title: Great product and fast Description: Fast and easy set up. No problems so far.

Title: Great Wifi 7 2.5G affordable home router Description: Installation Review: Unpack the router, plug in power cord, plug in home Ethernet cable, download app and follow the simple set up and configuration instructions on the guide ... 15 minutes and DONE. Now I can support my 500Mbps internet speed I already had coming in from the ISP but with an old router that only could support a max of 100Mbps. Ran the speed test and it showed over 477 Mbps up and down. I am happy now :-). -

The Router works great and the support staff are wonderful.

Honestly, I regret not upgrading sooner. My 800 sq. ft. condo is framed with steel studs/thick walls and my old router signal was struggling to punch through to the front room (my office). 5 GHz was non-exist and the 2.4 Mbps was unstable mess. I swapped in this router today and went from getting 30 Mbps download speed in my office to 200 Mbps. Set up was mostly quick with the longest part being the firmware updates, which only took 15 minutes. The app to manage the router is a nice touch, though I don't know how I feel about a Netgear account being required to use it...company's got to store that information somewhere. The range I suspect would be awesome in a normal apartment with dry wall construction because it's punching through my wifi-hating walls like a beast. I can't wait for my new modem and tower wifi adapter to arrive. The router alone was a stellar improvement, but I think the addition of those two will take full advantage of the upgrade to wifi 7. My only point of frustration is that the router box had clearly been opened and the router removed. The protective plastic bag cover that goes over the router itself in the package was gone and the router looked like it had been wiped down at one point judging by the streaks on the outside of the router. Does this impact the functionality? No. However, I did pay for a NEW router. Some obviously opened this one and used it. New does not mean "looks like new," it means box is unopened and the equipment has never been hooked up. I'm happy to keep this router, but the seriously...the seller should reduce my charge to that of a "used" piece of a equipment. I risked it buying from Amazon, but this is going to be the last risk I take with networking equipment. Too many knock offs, too much bait and switch.

No problems on set up, small and no odd antennas poking out.. yet it has great range. if it's for home use then it's overkill unless you have 30 people over that only use it all at the same time OR 1 Mouther in law that needs to look you up every 2 min's :).

The Netgear Nighthawk family has been my router(s) for years with great consistent service. Last month a notice of my current wifi6 device was leaving support service (auto updates etc) and it was time to move on. After a search of current Nighthawk offering (lots of pressure to get the BEST) I settled on the RS 100, quite a ways down on the family. I do not have internet service coming in that is greater then 200 MB/sec so buying a 1G+ router is just spending money for NO improvement. I was worried about the range - I have a larger home (>2600sq ft) including a critical Solar system that needs constant Wi-FI access that is in the garage at the longest distance from the router and lots of walls. Result - EXCELLENT - strong levels throughout the house and sufficient power to the far garage wall! What I did MISS, that I didn't check (assumed present) was the NO USB port for a local network storage. That should be made clear (or just put them on all!). A tip - check the signal strength (at all areas) while MOVING the router. - twist , and tip it. I have a basement and an upstairs bedrooms. The configuration that was significantly best was having it laying down (long length horz) and 'facing' the long length of the house. I would definitely recommend it for most all residential homes -

After using netgear nighthawk routers for the past 10 years, we recently changed internet providers and needed a new router. I thought I’d try something cheaper to save money and bought an arris router. Worst internet experience ever. The company stopped updating the software and we couldn't use it at all within months of purchasing. Went back to netgear and it’s like a breath of fresh air :)

As easy to set up as my previous Nighthawk. The only reason I replaced that one was it was too old to receive firmware updates. A good replacement.

Our old router had to have an Orbi system connect to it to give us decent wifi coverage in the backyard. This router, which is connected to fibre at the front of the house, reaches all the way to the back fence, on a 400sm block with no issues at all.

The Nighthawk also has great range in the daytime

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)

I have had endless problems with this router. Its auto selection of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz signal confuses my Apple Watch and iPhone. So I turned that feature off and renamed the two networks separately. Now it recognises the faster network but keeps dropping out and eventually won’t let me connect to it. Furthermore, where once I could get a signal anywhere in the house, to connect some things I need to be sitting tight next to the router. After that I can go anywhere in the house or yard and it’s ok. This router tries to be too fancy and it’s giving me a headache as every day I need to reconfigure settings to get it to work properly.

It heated up and had smoke coming out of it. Obviously faulty but Amazon have refused to replace or refund. I have been going in circles trying to get a phone number to call Amazon to speak with a human. I have been a very loyal customer of Amazon for decades and spent tens of thousands of dollars. I will never order from Amazon again. Next stop Fair Trading & NCAT.
