    I was having trouble with the equipment from t-mobile providing adequate coverage and was experiencing a lot of signal drop out. I got this to replace their gear and it was extremely easy to setup, and also covers the whole house without any mesh access points needed. Really like the app that goes along with it as well and the ability To setup Guest WiFi!

    I bought mine for $120. It was $99 the next day on Netgear. The new RS100 is also now available for the same price. Needed my cell phone and a QR scanner to set it up. Also my LAN light is red but I don't know why. There are no diagnostics.

    Bought this to replace a 3 y/o router that was being discontinued with support. Does what I need it to do, so far so good. Only problem is that Netgear firmware doesn't allow devices on the guest network to see each other without allowing them to see your personal network.

    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.

    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.

    The router is good. The setup is a bit of a pain.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    Connected with New SONIC internet Modem. Initially had a lot of issues in getting the needed strength. After a thought relocated to attic (mine is single storey). Now I am getting a blast in each nook and corner of the house. I suggest for huge houses, two routers could be configured to get a huge blast

    The RS100 router was extremely easy to setup and I immediately saw improvements with the wired speed and wifi stability. The aice of the unit is also proportioned to fit in the exact spot necessary with trouble managing of cords. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for stable network connections in their home or office.
