Customer Ratings & Reviews

This has been a great router. Not only good for wireless signal but it keeps you protected and safe while on your device. It’s good phone or computer. Easy to set up and connect your wireless devices.

NETGEAR has been a stress reducer for me. I work from home and since having switched to NETGEAR I have not had any drops in my internet/wi fi. It's sleek size fits perfect in my smaller office space.

This is a quality router. Very easy to setup and begin using. I would buy again. A big part of my purchase was due to Netgear being a USA company.

Does everything with easy setup with the phone app

This router has been nothing but problems for the four months I’ve owned it. I don’t want to type it all. I’ll say this and it should explain everything. I started having issues with it around month 2. In hindsight I should have taken the piece of crap straight back to Best Buy but i digress. Netgear wants to charge you a subscription fee to use their customer service/tech support. This should tell you everything you need to know about Netgear. I’m gonna take a $350 loss on the junk and smash it with a 2x4. I’ll try and edit to include a link to that video when it happens.

Meh. Eden I first got this, I thought it was great, but after a couple of months, it doesn't seem like it's working as well. Works good sometimes. Often, it buffers with our Midco internet tv. I bought this router that the BB associate recommended for the square feet of our home. I reboot the Tivo all the time- reboot the router and the modem-got a new modem. I don't think this is much better than the 6 year old router I replaced for this one.

It’s able to handle all of my devices smoothly. Lots of protection

Have had router for a month now. Run 20-25 devices smoothly. Couple devices even connect to 6g. I am really pleased with performance.

I work from home for a major hospital system, this has helped to keep increase my ability to chart quickly, increasing my productivity

Absolutely the easiest and best router I have ever purchased

The Netgear Nighthawk RS500 speed is great but range is awful. 50 ft from router and signal is lost at -70dBm. Also, very little minimal setting options. If you are the type to be able to customize settings, this is not for you, best to get Asus or TP Link.

Easy to setup. Great improvement over my old wifi5 net gear setup.

Took a little bit to get it going, but I'm happy with this router.

Buy another brand, I've had it with Netgear products, I've yet to own one that actually does what they claim. This device doesn't work well with fiber connections. The download speeds generally close to what is provided by the ISP, the uploads are awful. For example; a 2gig plan the router will download most of the of the 2 gig, but the upload never exceeds 700-800, and you have to be within 30 feet to get these speeds. Awful product, don't purchased.

Has been working good reaching good speeds on wifi

this thing is worth the money! way faster gaming speed just from this device alone!

Good Experience Helpful Employees Good Selections Tidy Store

Yes, the router was relatively easy to set up, although the GUI in the phone app is very slow to respond without any indication that it's doing anything. This was using an iPhone 16 Pro Max. 1 - the WiFi is inconsistent - devices keep getting dropped off the network at random. 2 - I was managing the router from a laptop, and at one point the browser popped up a message that there are too many devices connected to the router and you need to pay for their monthly service to get up to the 200 devices advertised (they never mentioned having to pay a monthly service to access something you shell out $400 for) 3 - Upon this message, my laptop was disconnected from the network. I used another laptop to connect, and found that the router blocked access to the first laptop because of the 20 device limit. So the router is going to randomly drop devices off the network if you happen to have (for example) 23 devices. This is unacceptable behavior for such an expensive piece of equipment. I will be returning the device as soon as I'm able to.

Best router ever! Blistering speed, easy setup and secure.

Great product. Worth the $$. Easy to setup and connect. Literally minutes.
