Despite being in a 1BR only, issues with getting the best speed in my bedroom. Initially, I had the TP extender (almost 300 dollars later to enhance my interenet) but it was never the real solution. With the TP scandal surfacing, I embark on another mission to make my Verizon Fios work. I started initially with Erro 7 mesh, but it turned it out it was not better than my TP Extender. Fast forward, I went back - and low and behold, plugging in this beauty, the Nighthawk BE19000 finally for once and all, into the Verizon router resolved my issues. I can finally connect via WIFI my Samsung TV and Roku, plus Sonos to the same speed and agility of my internet like the rest of my "small" place - no satellite, nothing. My Nighthawk is next to my Verizon router - clean. I ran speedtest from my Samsung phone with wifi 7 - perfect score. My roku speed in the BR is the same speed as my Roku in the living room connected via Ethernet to the Verizon router. The beauty in all of this, the combination of all the Ethernet outlets from the Verizon router and the Nighthawk alled me to connect pretty much all my devices in the living room direclty to the Ethernet ports! All worked great out of the box, I run basically two different set of Wifi network, one is from the Verizon and one from the Nighthawk. I chose to run my IoT of things 2.4ghz from the Verizon Router, anything new and shiny due to the Wifi7 capabilities and all, from the Nighthawk, all semless.
At this juncture, whatever i throw to the network at home, it works! I always thought my TV is "Old" but in fact, the streaming speed was simply weak when not connecting via ethernet to the Verizon router. All in all it makes sense, why would a telecom company provide bleeding edge equipment. I supect the chip, the memory and whatever goes into the modem/router combo won't match Netgear latest and greatest, it simply has the better muscle power. Too bad, i never done this - and bought a TP extender for almost 300 bucks - anyway, hopefully, my set up last for a while. But -yes- buy your own router equipment -!! Best Buy to the rescue again..

I got tired of my Linksys router not staying online, so I bit the bullet and shelled out the $$ to get this router. It's been ROCK SOLID. No internet drops. It handles my security system flawlessly. Internet coverage is great throughout my 2300 SQ FT house. Reliable. It's worth the extra money.

A Router Worthy of Dethroning My Nighthawk R7000P

This thing is a beast. It will be the successor to my Nighthawk R7000P which will also compliment my CM2000 modem. Very expensive but a 100% improvement on the RAXE500 which I purchased over a year ago but returned it because it was a nightmare with ridiculous wings that couldn't even lock into place, this router has succeeded where there RAXE500 failed. So much more stable, not high maintenance like the RAXE500. I live in a 100+ year old house with old-school construction and the shape is ranch style and this router hits from one end of the house to the other, punching through all the thick walls. I have a gig-speed package with Xfinity and I can easily hit 1100-1250 mbps on wired and wireless. There's only one LAN 10G port but that's fine because I can just get an unmanaged 2.5Gbe switch for more devices down the road. Setup was a breeze because thankfully Netgear had enough wisdom to not deviate from the design of the R7000P's login page. Excellent product!

I recently upgraded my home network with the Nighthawk BE19000 router, and it has been an absolute game-changer. The setup process was a breeze, and I was up and running in no time. The router’s sleek design is not just for show; it packs a powerful punch with its advanced features.
The Wi-Fi coverage is extensive, reaching every corner of my house without any dead zones. The speeds are consistently fast, which has been a boon for streaming 4K videos, online gaming, and handling multiple devices at once. The BE19000’s tri-band technology ensures that there’s no interference, and each device gets the bandwidth it needs.
What I appreciate most is the router’s robust security features. With the Nighthawk app, I can monitor my network, set parental controls, and protect myself from cyber threats. The peace of mind that comes with knowing my personal data is secure is invaluable.
In conclusion, the Nighthawk BE19000 router is a top-tier choice for anyone looking to enhance their internet experience. It’s reliable, fast, and secure - everything you could want in a router. I highly recommend it!

My parents' old router is becoming unstable, so I purchased this Nighthawk RS700 WiFi 7 to replace my personal Nighthawk RAXE500 WiFi 6e that I've used for the last 2.5 years so I can donate it to them. What an absolute game changer the RS700 is! I had Xfinity 1,200 Mbps service and the RAXE500 always reported 935 Mbps. Last year I dropped down to 1,000 Mbps service to save a couple bucks and the RAXE500 reported the same 935 Mbps. I plugged in the RS700 and the Nighthawk app recognized it immediately and a few minutes later it was sync'd up and broadcasting wireless internet to all my devices. Installation and set-up doesn't get any simpler than this! I was floored when I ran speedtests on Ookla and it was repeating 1,175 Mbps!
My parents' only have 300 Mbps service, so I'm sure the RAXE500 will be perfect for them without being a bottleneck like it apparently was in my set-up.
I have a Nighthawk CM3000 modem and Cat 6a cables.
I would 10/10 highly recommend the RS700 WiFi 7 router (BE19000). it's a powerful beast that will future proof any network!

Having some experience with home networking, I was dreading a new router. However, that was the easiest set up I’ve ever encountered. I was deciding between mesh, or a high end router. I chose the nighthawk and I am really pleased! WiFi range is perfect. My WiFi is actually giving me the speed my lan cables provide. If you are using the modem/router from your isp, do yourself a favor and add this router.

My thoughts on the Netgear Nighthawk RS700 router. From my personal experience, this router has been a significant upgrade to my internet setup. The speed improvement was noticeable immediately after installation, and it has truly transformed my online experience. I am very satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend the Netgear Nighthawk RS700 if you're looking for a router that delivers a substantial increase in internet speed and overall performance. I am confident you'll be pleased with its capabilities. Bottomline, RS700 is a "BEAST" :)))

Excellent router. The auto setup glitch so I had to setup manually but it wasn’t painful. Was hitting 1532MBPS and 42MBPS after up and running. Only downside is after 1 year you have to pay for threat monitoring.

Very powerful router and expensive but it gets the job done. It’s probably very overkill for my setup but I least I know I’m future proof for years to come.i play ps5 with it and my other devices and haven’t had any problems. Paired with my netgear cm2500 modem it was a breeze to setup.

WiFi 7 is the (expensive) future

Setup was super easy. While I only have one WiFi 7 capable device, PS5 pro, the speed on that thing is insane. I have a 2gig up/down plan and the PS5 eats it up. Stability for my other 15 connected devices seems great so far as well.
One thing I didn’t know I would like is the nighthawk app. I love how easy it is to use and the data you get from it. I don’t like the promotion of their security extras, but so far that’s a minor annoyance. I like how it has quite a few Ethernet ports. WiFi is great but the best stability is still wired.
Would recommend this to anyone who wants one of the best routers out. Quite expensive but I was able to get it 0% apr for 12 months on my bestbuy card, and get rewards that come with that so it was a no brainer.

Like no other, Netgear is one of the best performers, like others, for years to come. This is the first non-mesh router that has hit the home with this one. Like baseball, the distance and speed of lightning, this router does justice!

I bought this router because my old was slowing down; as soon as I finished setting this up (which was ridiculously easy to do) this beast of router was firing on all cylinders right out the gate. Performance wise there was no hiccups, no lag ,and excellent range Runs as smooth as butter. I’m very proud of this purchase.

Switched out cox PW8 for this, wired directly to ont, and have no regrets. The PW8 was capped at 1k mbps upload even though I have 2g up and down plan. I was getting close to 800mbps down and up next to the router, 200 down 30 up two rooms away and 900 wired in. Now i get over 2k down and up wired into 2.5 port, 1700 to 1800 both ways next to router, 1100 down 800 to 900 up two rooms away. Very pleased. I hope it holds up. Pic is through 3 walls

I like to use wifi mainly because my cable and modem are located in my closet. I also like to play games like Path of Exile 2 which I kept on getting lag while playing it. Now I play it and it is smooth as butter! I’ve always used netgear so it was definitely an upgrade ftom the previous one I had. Wifi 7 is great!
