[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from Linksys router with Wi-Fi 5 to this router, and the difference in excellent. The set up is much smoother through a phone app, as well as making any administration changes. The wi-fi speed is faster with the same internet speed service, and is more secure. It helps to skip at least one generation with electronic purchases.
We were in a tight jam needing a new router for our space and this bad boy came through strong as heck! In my brain I used expletives, but this router is freaking amazing. If you need a wicked connection, choose this one!
it work great but after firmware install it no longer working

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WiFi was getting wonky after having a google mesh for many years. Decided on this NETGEAR - Nighthawk RS100 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router and now everything works like a charm. The app is pretty intuitive and the WiFi in my house is much better!
Great signal, the app is easy to use and overall I'm very happy with it. The one problem I had was during setup the app bugged and I had to do part of it through the IP address website .
