    Was told this is the one to go with especially with gamers in the house. The speed wasn’t any different than my current router. It didn’t have the parental controls like I wanted without a monthly subscription!

    Getting this product delivered via doordash was a nightmare but thats another story. This router is very disappointing. Horrible range disconnects constantly. There is a reason it keeps dropping in price. I had an old nighthawk router i absolutely loved but couldn't update the firmware so got this. I do not recommend at all

    Horrible router. Only 2 items would connect to it. Even India couldn't get it to work. They didn't want me to return it. Told me to get someone out to my house to help. Really? Returned and bought TP, had no problems with that router.

    Once working, is amazing!

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

    The product took some time to set up and I spent about forty minutes on the phone with tech support (which is AMAZING, by the way). It was a frustrating process, but now my wifi is fast and reliable. If it was possible to do half stars, this would be a 4.5 star product.

  • Pros mentioned:
    Range

    Good value!

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

    Title: Good value! Description: Good range, relatively small form factor, and security updates (and Armor software) seem to make this a good value for the money. Installation (from another Netgear product that was out of service date) was not quite as straightforward as I believed it was going to be, but doing it manually instead worked well. 5ghz speeds (15 feet) are near 250 or better most of the time, and diminish the further out you go, but radio (without extender) seems to cover (or very nearly so) the distance claimed.

    I would recommend this to a friend

  • Great value and performance

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

    Title: Great coverage and response at a reasonable price. Description: I had to replace my cable modem when I upgraded to a fiber internet provider. After reviewing what was available at my local Best Buy, I selected the Netgear Nighthawk RS100. It's 2000 sq foot range adequately covers all areas in my 2-story colonial. That saved me from investing in a more expensive mesh system. The setup was straight-forward with Nighthawk app. The monitoring system for connected devices is great and I have no issues with it's performance. I feel I made a great investment with this unit.
