Verified Purchase:Yes
My home network needed an upgrade to Wi-Fi 7. With 4 people relying on Internet access for work video conferences, gaming and streaming, my older router was at its limit. A number of devices in the house are wired (two offices and the family room, and basement TV's), so the wireless connection is hosting laptops, phones, tablets, gaming and bedroom TV's. Happy to say all are working exceptionally well - no buffering or delays. The app is nice too, just wish they'd make it easer for people with experience to bypass the elongated app setup process. The only down side to this router's operation (and most home routers for that matter) is it only has 4 Ethernet ports so I have a managed switch next to it to tie in my hardwired connections.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Nighthawk does what it said it would. Faster internet speeds now compared to older model Nighthawk we had.

So far so good

Setup was straightforward using the Nighthawk app. Anything that didn't go right resulted in guidance to get things back on track and installation took about 20 minutes as the app said it would. Very useful!

Once the router is up and running, it is fast and has great range. It is covering my entire 2700 square-foot house easily. However, the set up was very buggy. I am transferring from an older Netgear router, and my old app would refuse to allow me to press the button to activate a new router, even though the button was on the screen. I ended up having to uninstall the old router and disable it in the app, then plug in the new router and wait for a few minutes for the app to detect it. Then the app told me to connect the Ethernet to the modem, which was already connected, so I disconnected and reconnected it and that froze the whole thing so I had to unplug my modem and router and reset everything again. Also, when the router was getting set up the app still got frozen in a portion that said “may take a moment” for 1hr+ and I had to force kill it and restart, they need to put reasonable (5 min max) timeouts on their setup times.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Purchased replacement Nighthawk router - Nighthawk WiFi 7 Router RS300, 9.3 Gbps
on July 7, 2026

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this Nighthawk router to replace the one I purchased in 2019, which reached its "end of life" and was no longer receiving any security updates. Was fairly easy to install with the phone app. The only hiccup was that my old network and new network had the same name and so I actually had to finish the install using the desktop version on the NETGEAR website. It came with a free wall mount kit when I included a certain keyword on the checkout page, but it turns out I didn't need it since my Ethernet cables were too short and I was simply swapping out my old router for this new one, and I was using all 4 Ethernet cable plug-ins. I do like that this router has a vertical orientation rather than a horizontal one like my old router since it now takes up less space on my media closet shelf than my old router did.

I got this router with my daughter's recommendation as they like their router. The app has a lot of useful tools to manage the router and get stats. The router provides great coverage in our house with is two level with several devices simultaneously connected.
