This router is way much better than my last (mesh type). Installation was easy, and it worked seamlessly. Not only did it meet my ISP’s projected gigabit internet but exceeded the expectations. Strong signal anywhere in my 2-bedroom condo. Look no further and get this router.

We upgraded our old gateway to this router paired with a modem from our ISP. My family is impressed by the faster speeds and increased range over our old model. This works well for our 1500sf home. Would recommend!

Works great! Lots of customizable options for this router. Huge upgrade to my previous Nighthawk and looks very clean.

Title: So far so good Description: Had to get a new router. Very easy to set up. Downloaded the App and everything so far is working great. Price was reasonable at Best Buy. The employee Ian was very helpful and answered all my questions.

Needed to upgrade a 7 yr old router. Wanted fast speeds and easy setup. This delivers, on both.

We set up our Netgear Nighthawk router RS100 today. It is working great. Working with Xfinity on their end took long, but the lady was nice and we got it done with me following her instructions.

This router is my second nighthawk. My first lasted for a long time and when it was time to replace, I knew that I would buy another. The app is also helpful when trying to diagnose an issue with service.

Had the router for a month and it's provided much better signal all around the house. The blink doorbell has much better signal now.

Its definitely better than the router it replaced, however the 2.4ghz seems to be pretty bad. Note: i live in a singlewide trailer that is 56ft. The router is almost dead center. For whatever reason the speed and connectivity is completely unstable in my master bedroom. 5ghz works perfectly there and further. I primarily upgraded for the processor and the fact it advertises to handle more devices than my previous. All in all its a decent up to date router.

Title: Very good router Description: Overall I have to give this router five stars once it is setup. My only issue was getting the initial setup done. Had one failure and had to restart after it made it almost all the way done and then failed. No real error that I saw just a failure message. Restarted the process and it worked fine the second time. You do have to use the app (android in my case) to do the setup. Not overly difficult but a lot on hitting 'next'. I will note that this is typical for most equipment setup so can't fault the manufacturer. Still I would prefer using my desktop to do this so I can use the keyboard. Once setup it is pretty flawless. I've not realized a huge speed increase, but it seems to do well with all of my home devices. So yes, my 40+ devices all seem to work without issue. I don't game so this is far more important to me. Especially cameras and lights. For just around $150 I would say it is well worth the cost.

The RS100 is just what I needed. The range of signal covers my 1800 sq ft home just fine. Speed is fast enough for me to stream TV and do anything online that I do like surfing or email or Marketplace browsing.

Great product works really well. Faster speed and more stable connection. Major selling point was the ability to run multiply devices all at once. Set up was a little difficult but Netgear support was awesome

Title: Great product at a reasonable price Description: Netgear Nighthawk RS100 is a router for those who want wireless tech without the high price tag. It’s compact, affordable and offers faster performance than many older routers. Good speed for streaming, conferencing and general business internet needs. Great coverage for my office which is 1500 sq ft. Bottom line is that it offers solid baseline speed for everyday internet and internal networking. It was super easy to set up . ( I configured it through the IP address not the Nighthawk app.) Bottom line: entry-level Wi-Fi 7 performance at a low price.

The NETGEAR Nighthawk BE3600 Dual‑Band Wi‑Fi 7 Router (RS100) is a strong budget-friendly option if you want to step into Wi-Fi 7 without spending a lot. It delivers solid performance with speeds up to 3.6 Gbps, covers around 2,000 square feet, and can handle dozens of devices, making it a good fit for typical homes with streaming, gaming, and smart tech. The inclusion of a 2.5G WAN port is a big plus for faster internet plans, and setup through the NETGEAR app is simple. However, it’s still an entry-level model—it’s dual-band only, meaning it lacks the 6 GHz band that unlocks the full potential of Wi-Fi 7, and it may struggle in larger homes or more demanding setups. Overall, it’s a great value pick for everyday use, but power users or those wanting top-tier performance may want to look at a higher-end tri-band router.

Title: easy set up Description: Being a bit tech challenged, I was happy that I could set this up without help and it seems to have great connection and speed for a reasonable price. I like the sleek look over the antenna look too.

Great product with insanely fast speeds. My townhouse is about 1,600 sq ft and I have no issues in any part of the house. I like to game and get pretty competitive, and this router has been incredible. Zero lag and smooth connection. Also, the app gives you control over your connected devices and super simple to use.
