This router is the newest of a number of NETGEAR routers I have owned and is by far the best. It was easy to set up and install using the Nighthawk app. It has great range and there are no issues controlling 56 devices on my network. I also have NETGEAR Armor and feel confident that my network and devices are secure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Routers do pass away. Mine did. I went back to NETGEAR for a Nighthawk and couldn't be happier. This model has the power to get around the house. Setting these routers up in the past has been challenging, to say the least. IP address, excessive passwords and steps. This router has a SIMPLE-to-use APP, and setting up passwords and extenders was a breeze. It's all in the APP. I am sticking with NETGEAR and with this one, I am ready for FIBER internet. For whatever it's worth, Best Buy made getting it pretty easy. Stream on!
Replacing an end of life NetGear router that served me well for many years with this one. Very easy and intuitive to set up. Once set up, blazing fast speeds and solid connections. All devices synced up immediate, and coverage is even better with the new router than the previous one. Highly recommend.

Replaced out of date router with new RS500. Switched over 15 items to new network effortlessly. Security cameras were a little tricky

Seamless integration as a replacement for 7 year old Nighthawk 5 series. So powerful we are still able to wifi call from our phones from our neighbor's house across the street. Fantastic perfomance!
