I it's been two weeks and I'm not sure it's worth the money. Everyday it goes down watching TV in the evening. It'a sporadic during the day when I'm on the internet. Overall, I'm not very happy with the router.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your review and valuable feedback. We would like an opportunity to improve your experience with your RS500. When experiencing an issue with connectivity we recommend a few troubleshooting steps including performing a full power cycle of your RS500 as well as connected modem while disconnecting the ethernet cable between them. After both devices have come back online, re-connect them, as well as confirm your RS500 is on the latest firmware v1.0.5.22 released as recently as 10-15-25: https://kb.netgear.com/000070295/.
If you're still experiencing any issues, please reach out to us at netgearteam@netgear.com — we’re happy to help! If your experience has improved, we’d really appreciate an updated review.

Powerful, Fast, and Worth It

I upgraded to the NETGEAR Nighthawk BE12000 Wi-Fi 7 Router and the difference is amazing. The speed and range are incredible — it easily covers my whole home with multiple devices connected at once. Setup was super simple, and the connection stays rock solid for streaming, gaming, and work. Definitely worth it for anyone who wants fast and reliable Wi-Fi

We are very happy with our NETGEAR nighthawk. Our Wi-Fi is much improved and the app allows me to keep track of who is logged and notifies me when someone logs on.

We bought this router to be set up as a separate office network in our commercial building. The setup process was super easy and fast and the router is very strong across all rooms and even through walls! Would recommend for any home or business.
Great router, easy to setup and very effective range
I would recommend this to a friend!

Replacement Router

This router was purchased to replace my Netgear R8000. This installation process was very easy being that I already had used the app and had an existing network. The range of the router appears to be the same as my old router. I recommend this product.

Great upgrade for my older Netgear router. Set up was simple and quick. Once set up, existing devices connected automatically.
