So far it's doing well, I have a sixth ring camera to hook up next week, and we'll see how that goes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For it's price point, it's an excellent WiFi 7 router. I was already about to purchase it, but this particular model went on a black Friday special as well. As with most people, Internet service was starting to charge for equipment rental and as I like to keep monthly expenses down, I decided to get my own equipment again. Setup is easy and straightforward. I only had one big issue that wasn't on the router per se.
I spent around 5 hours on the phone and off trying to get service going through my new modem and router and determined the modem was just fine and wasn't the issue. The router just wouldn't connect to the Internet, wired or wireless. At first I could connect to the router through my cellphone. But shortly after, it would glitch out trying to load the router settings/setup page. I knew it was in the settings and I needed to change an address around, but couldn't access that. I told my ISP to turn back on the old modem/router(theirs) while I figured a solution. I plugged the old back in and wired the Netgear into it. Within seconds, the app notified me that it changed the address to match the providers service. Then it started to update the firmware. After giving it a bit, I reconnected it and everything was working. My ISP is Optimum by the way
My advice to anyone else is to just plug it into your current service if you can and let it update and possibly alter any settings it needs to automatically so you don't need to have a goose chase like I did.

I replaced an older model NetGear with this RS100. The installation was smooth and easy. I like the fact that the NightHawk Armor comes pre-configured and is already blocking malicious sites.

Very easy to unbox and set up. The app was super easy to understand set up. I love that it has a QR code to make setup even faster.
