    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.

    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.

    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.

    Good looking paper weight. Firmware updates cause constant issues.. Lan running at 87 mpbs plugged into the router. Take the router out of the equation. Get 750 all day. Customer support starts with dumb advice even if you tell them everything you've tried. Best buy wont let me return the it for in-store credit.

    Big Improvement to my home

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Description: I was skeptical at first but was blown away by how this router changed my wifi in the house. My house is 3100 square feet with two levels and one router covers the entire home. I've had many devices in the corner of my home that cannot connect for months.But with this, everything works, it just works. The netgear app is great and really helps with managing all the devices at home.

    I love it!! My internet is beyond fast even with all the devices I have hooked up Ethernet and WiFi. No lag or buffering ever. And with the subscription to the parent controls I’m able to monitor and block my kids access to not only websites but devices as well or give them a certain amount of time. Overall I have no complaints.

    Lots of extra features

    Setting up the router was quick and straightforward, thanks to the user-friendly app. It’s fast enough to fully utilize my home fiber internet connection, consistently delivering gigabit speeds to my wireless devices. One nice feature is the 6GHz band, which is especially useful in my neighborhood with lots of other Wi-Fi networks. The additional band helps avoid interference from the neighboring networks, ensuring a faster connection on devices that support it. Additionally this access point supports port aggregation, which helped speed up the connection to my network attached storage drive.

    Upgraded Nighthawk Router Is Great

    Our old Netgear Nighthawk router support came to an end, so we upgraded to the suggested replacement which was the Nighthawk BE12000. The difference in coverage was immediately noticeable. Our Ring camera outside of our garage works 24/7 now instead of spotty coverage at best. My husband's internet connection for Teams meetings no longer has a constant lag throughout the meeting. I highly recommend this router.

    I’m extremely happy with my Netgear Nighthawk BE12000 router! Setup was fast and easy using the Nighthawk app, and the speed difference was noticeable right away. The Wi-Fi 7 performance is fantastic — I’m getting strong, stable coverage in every room, even out in the backyard. Streaming, gaming, and video calls all run smoothly with no lag or drops.

    Absolutely incredible router! The NETGEAR Nighthawk RS500 with WiFi 7 delivers blazing fast speeds and practically zero latency — perfect for gaming. I’ve noticed no lag at all, even with multiple devices streaming 4K movies at the same time. The connection is rock solid with no buffering or hiccups. Setup with the app takes just minutes and you’re ready to go. It’s been running flawlessly since day one. Highly recommend for anyone who wants top-tier performance.

    I had a XR 500 before this router it was good but this router the RS500 was way easier to setup and the performance is un matched latency dropped incredibly more stable and it is also very slim and speak very easy to put in a spot that nobody is afraid of bumping or something of that sort I will continue to stay with netgear and their gaming routers the performance in my experience again is unmatched thanks again netgear

    I bought this to replace a router that kept knocking down the internet. This has an easy setup, and we havent lost the internet once. I don't need any extenders, I can go outside the house and still have good signal. Very Very happy!!!

    Our router needed to be updated with better security and performance. After reviewing the options available the best choice for our requirements was the Nighthawk WiFi 7 RS500 router. Upon installation our network performance improved significantly. This router was easy to install and up and running in no time. We now enjoy faster more reliable streaming and better network security as well. We highly recommend this router.
