    It Works!

    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.

    Snappy

    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!

    Installed today, 7/20/2026 Works great

    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.

    Netgear Nighthawk RS 100 is okay for the price

    Fairly okay router. Not too challenging to set up. Seems to be slightly faster than Reyee E5. Lots of options and "tweaks" when you set up on-line. I'd like it if all streams could be merged into one. But it's doing fine so far. Also, it doesn't take up much space. It's connected to a T-Mobile 5G Arcadyn gateway.
