I have other Netgear devices and have enjoyed each one. I like the reliability of the product as well as the ease of manageability. The features what come with this rival some of the more expensive models. And Netgear has come up with several ways to manage their routers. App on a mobile device, standard web interface. I like the fact that Netgear seems to always keep in step with the ever changing world of IT, and seems to be a very innovative company. I believe that hooked up with a reliable internet service provider, this thing will out perform them all. Connectivity speeds are robust, and reliable, the Wifi is exactly what they say it is, fast and reliable with auto sensing between bands to give the user optimization of connectivity. Plug and play all the way, customizable all the way, and reliable all the way.

I used the NETGEAR app to set it up, and the process was super simple — everything was clearly laid out and only took a few minutes.I’ve connected over 7 devices at home using this adapter, and it’s handled the load without any issues. From laptops to smart TVs and even a printer, the connection has been stable and consistent throughout the house. The compact design is also a big plus — it doesn’t take up much space and fits discreetly into any setup.

I bought this to replace an Orbi Mesh Router (RBR560) from about 2016.It took some parameter setting to get it work works as I wanted it. We have a 3 story (basement plus two-story) home. We also have 8 acres with other long-range antennas set up throughout the property.I set this as an Access Point (AP). At the same time, I bought the Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG-Ultra) so that is the actual router.I recommend setting the different Wi-Fi bands with different SSID names. I tried all one name and let the devices decide and that work far worse. Typically my phone, which is about the only device constantly moving, stays on the 2.4g network. I have 1G fiber so everything loads fine. If other more stationary devices (TV's, game consoles, etc.) see the other SSID signals better, I use them for those devices.Overall, I'm happy after I made the adjustments.BTW, before this puchase, I did try the newer Orbi (RBK-763) and I was veru disappointed. I returned it.

The Nighthawk App made it difficult to Set up. I gave up on using the app, and did the setup on the browser site. After I was able to get the router setup, everything was fine. Even the app worked, and it seems to have a lot of nice features, including security features. Router speeds are good and connection is stable. If you get past the setup, it's a worthwhile purchase.

I had a TPLink Gaming router before and I constantly had issues with Wi-Fi stability, so I looked into this product.Netgear has an impressive, smooth GUI that makes setting it up easy, even after transitioning from another competitor's GUI.Wi-Fi range is significantly improved as well within my home as previous deadzones are no longer a problem.Overall, I'm super happy with this product for gaming and using streaming services like Netflix and Youtube.

I upgraded to the NETGEAR Nighthawk RS500 WiFi 7 router, and the difference is night and day. With a smart home full of streaming devices, security cameras, work laptops, and gaming consoles, our old router just couldn’t keep up. This one delivers lightning-fast speeds (up to 12Gbps!) and seriously stable performance—even with over 40 devices connected at once.The tri-band setup with WiFi 7 future-proofs my home network, and the coverage easily reaches all 3,000 square feet, including the garage and backyard. Setup took less than 10 minutes using the Nighthawk app, and the built-in security features give me peace of mind without having to pay for extra subscriptions.This router is powerful, sleek, and built to handle anything a modern household throws at it. If you’re tired of buffering, dropped connections, or spotty WiFi zones—this is the upgrade you deserve!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Aikf at NetGear Tech Support did an excellent job assisting with my NetGear RS90 WiFi USB 2.0 router initial setup/install. He was easy to work with, understanding, and showed true professional skills over the course of this setup process. Aikf was the perfect fit for me, while representing NetGear’s excellent technical support for new customers.

This router wasn’t simple to set up at all. I finally used the QR code on the side of the unit and got it working. I changed the password to my previous one but still had to enter everything on each device. My iPhone 15 Pro was set up first, then iPad and two TVs with Spectrum Xumo Boxes. I couldn’t set up my HP 8600 printer because of a MAC issue that I’ll deal with later. Great coverage in my three level condo with download speed of 560 mbps and upload 23 mbps. The download varies throughout the day but usually over 300 mbps. Great unit at a great price.
