Future proof router.
Just upgraded to the BE12000 Netgear WiFi 7 router. This router’s screaming fast and easily covers my two story house. No dropped signal. Setup was super easy. I had my network up and running in 20 minutes. I highly recommend this future proof gem of a router.

Great Router
Upgrade from the old RAX70 router to the new BE12000 Wifi7 router. Also upgraded from coax cable to fiber optic. The Netgear Armour security is way better than any that we tried in the past. The range is great, I am able to receive a strong wifi signal in my shop which is a metal building over a 150 feet away from the house. I highly recommend this router to anyone upgrading to fiber optic.

Great Router
I live in an apartment building and our old router was having trouble competing with all the other routers in our building, which led to slower internet. This router is great and I no longer have that issue. It has not let me down once and has good technology to balance the ideal frequency between each device. It overpowers the 2.4 GHz of the other routers around me. The latency has been reduced significantly.
