When I got an email that my old Nighthawk router was no longer going to be updated, and Netgear suggested the RS700S, I was excited to upgrade. Unfortunately, it's not any better.There is no less buffering with my TV's, and now my garage door won't connect to my internet.This has been a very frustrating switch

Man...if you have a small business or just alot of people who come around your house, this one is for you. It has everything you need, plus some. The "guest wifi" option is great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It seems to have decent range, but it doesn't allow for choosing the speed for each device.

Netgear Nighthawk Wi-Fi 7 Router RS500 - Great Buy

The NETGEAR Nighthawk BE12000 Wi-Fi 7 Router (RS500) delivers excellent speed and coverage. Setup was quick, and I was up and running in no time. The router easily handles multiple devices without lag. The design is modern, and the management app makes monitoring and adjustments straightforward.
That said, the router is on the expensive side compared to other models, and some advanced security features require a subscription to NETGEAR Armor and VPN. Normally the first year of Armor is included with purchase which is an added value

I replaced a 10 yr old Netgear router. WOW. My WiFi speed doubled and no dead spots in my 3000 sq. ft. home. Very easy to install: no connection issues. I would recommend to a friend.

Receive router with good communication o shipping. Setup was very easy. My only hang up is the coverage. They state up to 3000 sq ft coverage. My home is an 1100 sqft house with a basement. Router is on the first floor in the living room. When in the basement on the other end the reception is reduced to only 2 bars and is very slow at loading a page. I expected better signal with such a small house. It only has to go thru our main floor of which I expected a better signal. Outside of that it seems like a great router.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the RS300 because the router I had been using was no longer being supported by NETGEAR. After using it for a couple of weeks, I can say that the router appears to be a solid performer; however, no better than the old router. Based on its performance I would give it three stars because there was no improvement on performance. I gave it four stars because of the ease of installation and the discount offered. Otherwise, I could probably have purchased one of several less expensive routers (including NETGEAR models) locally. In summary I would say that it’s a does the job but has not improved the performance of my home network.
