This router works very well. Smooth streaming and all the info I need on the Nighthawk app. I highly recommend.

It's been well over a week now and still waiting to have my armor subscription transferred to this new router. Why should I have to call support open a ticket and wait weeks with still no updates. I should be able to just do this online. Completely useless waste of my time. I should have just changed to a different manufacturer when my RAX120 was no longer supported.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easy peasy!!

I had to replace my ten-year-old Netgear router because security patches were no longer available. After much research, I settled on the Netgear Nighthawk RS100. Instead of a horizontal unit with little rabbit ears, this sleek vertical beauty is one solid tower of engineering. The speed is fantastic, and installation was a breeze with Netgear's Nighthawk app running on my iPhone.
Installation Tips:
1) Turn off cellular data if you use Nighthawk for setup on an iPhone so the phone and the router are forced to search for each other like lost lovers in a monsoon; and
2) consider using your same network name and password if you're replacing a unit, allowing all of your subscriptions and devices to recognize the new router without drama.
SO SIMPLE! Worked like a charm, and I even got a minor speed boost.

Review of the RS100 Router
on July 20, 2026

Much faster than my old router and very easy to configure.

Great router, sleek and easy to configure.
It is much better to configure directly into the web UI rather than the app, since you can drill down into more settings than the app, of course you need to know what you are doing, because if not, it will be difficult.
it has been running for about 10 days, doing what we needed to do: balance the network traffic, since we do not have much of high speeds in this block

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Title: Easy to Set Up
Description: I was intimidated to start the set up but quickly found out that it was very, very easy and I had zero issues. The instructions where very clear step by step. I didn't have to call support at all and the app is very easy to use and understand. Perfect Purchase!
