Works great, no problems at all. I installed the app on my phone and followed the procedure. Netgear -Nighthawk is the easiest Netgear I have ever installed.

I got this on thanksgiving for 100$. Wonderful network device. I had issues with my old modem on spectrum connection and speed . This one rectified all the issues what I had and range is marvelous.

I had bought this extra router because I have been adding more tech devices that need Wi-Fi, and my Netgear modem/router can't handle all our devices. So far, it's been a couple of days and not been much delay. I can easily switch between routers.

Love the nighthawk, we set this up and love the fact that you can print out a qr code for your guest to quickly and eazy access. This keeps them off my game line and gives them there own line via wifi.

My old 12+ year old router finally breathed its last breath recently. It kept going in and out with the connection, and it frustrated me. Once it died, I drove over to Best Buy and bought a Nighthawk router at a very good price. My living space isn't big, so I knew I didn't need to upgrade with greater signal range. I got what I paid for, and it was awesome. My router was extremely easy to set up, and had very few parts in the box for me to physically assemble. I used to set up routers purely through ethernet connection to my PC, but this time I did it with the Nighthawk app via my phone. I was amazed at how much technology has changed since 12+ years ago, because of how convenient & quick the digital setup process was. And as soon as I got all my devices configured with the new network & password, my whole house was running on full steam again, faster than before.

Small form factor but has outstanding range. Better coverage than previous Nighthawk model that had 4 antennas. The app provides as signal strength meter that shows signal as you move around house.

The physical part of setting it up was easy. But there are other parts of the setup that are NOT intuitive or obvious and require going online, but that's not mentioned in the instructions nor does it automatically happen. So just call customer service upfront to walk you through it and save yourself the grief of missing a step. And make sure you have something to take notes on. You'll be glad you did.
Otherwise, I really like the router, and I had no idea that they actually got worse over time and I needed to replace it. Much better now.

I have been running this router for a little over 3 weeks to this point. The performance has been phenomenal. No connectivity drops and am getting max speeds. This router was purchased as an upgrade to a previous Netgear router. I'm also very impressed with the simplicity of the Netgear app. Very easy to use and highly intuitive. I highly recommend this router for anyone needing support for +1Gbps speeds (and obviously anything below).

Title: ok so far but range is doubtful
Description: i bought this nighthawk rs100 because of so many great reviews and the advertised range. so far the connection is good but not the range. my place is only about 700 sq. ft. my router is in the front room and signal is strong, but when i go to the back of the house or in the back patio the signal drops significantly. also when turing on the wi-fi on my phone when i get home it takes several seconds longer to connect compared to my old links's router which was lightning fast. going to give it a couple more weeks to test. but may take it back and try a different brand. my linksys was much better but unfortunately they're harder to find these days.
