    The Nighthawk app is annoying. Getting to the GUI for setup much more difficult than it needs to be. Even worse is the constant emails and pushing of getting a subscription to Netgear Armor. The administration of an extender is also lacking. Doesn't have 6Ghz.

    Piece of junk ... would not connect to internet except intermittently. It's supposed to work for a 2500 sq ft home. Mine is 1400 sq ft. won't stay connected. I replaced my modem, and it won't connect through the new one at all. Total waste of money and I should not have been sold a protection plan that is less than useless!

      Hi FrankieJay,

      Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback and we want you to know that your experience is important to us. We are sorry to hear that you are having a difficult experience with intermittent connectivity with your RS200. We recommend a few troubleshooting steps when experiencing intermittent connectivity with the internet including checking your cables to ensure they are secure, performing a full power cycle of your modem and RS200 router and connecting a computer directly to your modem to verify internet connection. Additionally, if your ISP modem is a Modem/Router, ensure your Modem/Router is in Bridge Mode to address any potential Double NAT errors.

      We also recommend ensuring your RS200 is on the latest firmware released as recently as 5-9-25, v1.0.1.90: https://kb.netgear.com/000066664/RS200-Firmware-Version-1-0-1-90.

      We would like to follow up with you regarding the connectivity you have been experiencing with your RS200. Please reach out to us at [email protected] with your contact information, and we will be happy to help you.

    The stupid thing ran perfectly and lasted for just a few days past the warranty. Now it is an expensive paperweight. Save your money for a better brand.

  • VERY Weak Signal Distance - I would not recommend

    I am not sure about all the positive reviews. The reviews must be bought or something. I have had 3 other routers in the same spot, in the same house, with the exact same devices and my reception in the front room of the house with NO walls in between, and the signal is VERY VERY weak. My house is 2300sf. The reason I bought this router was because it was rated for 2500sf. It did NOT work for me. I would NOT recommend this router. My old routers did not have ANY problems reaching my front room. VERY VERY disappointed in this routers' range. I thought I was upgrading, I downgraded.

    Worst router I've owned. I have owned probably 20 different routers and this one is by far the worst. Setup was ok but once that is complete the rest of the experience is bad. Kept disconnecting. I like to have my wifi bands separate but on this router as soon as you do that you have no wifi. Slower speeds. Just terrible. I returned this one the same day i bought it. I went with an ASUS router and never looked back. Netgear used to be decent but not anymore. They have gone downhill fast. Stay away from this one.

    Do not purchase anything from NETGEAR, horrible customer service after the 90 day window. We have had multiple issues with this router and they just keep telling me to reset it. I only have 13 devices connected to it, nothing that demands with traffic. Overpriced paperweight now. Thanks NETGEAR

  • Excellent all round product

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

    From setup to operation it really took less than twenty minutes, and that includes disconnecting the old router and updating firmware of the nighthawk router. Using the nighthawk app is very straightforward and user friendly. Network speeds did increase from the ISP router and now we have guest network functionality and improved security with help from the armor backed by bitdefender firewall. That is the greatest benefit is protection for all the peripheral or IoT devices in the home like cameras which are scanned and safeguarded from hackers now. Will continue to use nighthawk products in the future!

    I purchased this router about 2 months ago and so far I think it's great. The set up was very simple and easily finished in about 10 minutes. The app is very good also. It tells me all the info I need at a glance and there are more advanced features in the sub menus. I like the design too. Overall, pretty pleased with my purchase

    My ISP came with a while home coverage but I rarely got 20% of the bandwidth of my fiber I was paying for. After setting up this router, I was instantly getting 400-600 Mbps anywhere in my house with a single router! I love it

    I decided to purchase instead of leasing, and I’m glad I did! The NETGEAR Nighthawk BE6500 is an absolute game-changer. The setup was a breeze—I handled it from my phone in just minutes.
