NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router (RS200) Router Only– BE6500 Wireless Speed (up to 6.5 Gbps) - Covers up to 2,500 sq. ft., 80 Devices – 2.5 Gig Internet Port - Free Expert Help

Bought this to connect to my Xfinity gateway since that does not have a guest network and you cannot change the channels on a network to avoid interference. It was extremely easy to set up a guest network and get it going via the app. It even increased my speeds compared to the Xfinity Gateway alone by 50% or so. Works great!

This was the best reviewed router in my budget and I couldn’t be happier. It replaced an old Nighthawk I was borrowing from a friend. The installation was simple and the effect was immediate: better range, stronger signal, no more dropping from the network for no reason, no more lagging due to the number of connected devices. The signal now comfortable reaches our driveway and separate garage (home gym), so now we can work out while streaming workout videos and music. I would absolutely recommend this router to anyone looking for maximum performance on a budget!

This is a beast of a router! It seriously blew everything else I used for the last few decades right out of the water. It does require some basic knowledge to properly install. I have 40 years of experience with IT and even I had to scratch my head once or twice, but it was well worth it. My Samsung S25 Ultra goes to WiFi7 and simply downloads everything with maximum speed. My desktop is connected through Ethernet (cat 6e) and it has no issues. Beautiful! Control level is also great - you can use app to see who is connected at any given time. I use just basic functions, but you can control this easily from your phone.

Overall, a good router. One of the only electronic things I ever bought that actually worked out of the box. Installation and setup was very easy with the Nighthawk app from my Android tablet. I have not had to access the router as administrator, it actually worked fine, first time. I have a 1 Gbit service and I get that speed up and down. Fantastice coverage, I get good service in my backyard, garage, basement and driveway. A couple of small things prevented 5 stars -- first, if my internet service winks out for some reason, the router will not auto-recover, must be powered down for hard reset and second, if internet is out for any reason, the router will not work within our household AND I cannot access as admin either by Nighthawk app or via the common "192.168.1.1" or Netgear's "routerlogin.net".

Huge upgrade to our home for all our WiFi devices. You will love the ability to connect to an app to control the functions of your devices and much more. I recommend this for any home under 4,000 SF.

Bough this to replace my outdated/unsupported Netgear NightHawk Router. I’ve had issues in the past with other manufacturers routers connecting to my garage opener. Netgear worked with all of my devices. There are complaints here about having to use the app and they are correct if you want to do more advance settings like port forwarding. For that you just need to log into the router from a PC. It’s not like you would want to make those changes through an app or from your phone. The app is great when setting the router up. I just used the same WiFi name and password so everything would automatically connect. And you can turn off smart connect through the app if you want. Turning off Smart Connect allows you to separate 2.4 and 5mhz if you want. This router has advance settings if needed, but it’s a great “set it and for get it” router also. The range is awesome. Plus my connection speed has improved with 25 devices connected.

Title: works great Description: Set it up manually with port forwarding an lan addresses then put it online. Everything went fine. Happy with the product!

Title: Piece of cake Description: Easy to install. Back up and running in no time. Much faster speed
