    Awesome device. If you already have a nighthawk router, the upgrade integration process is smooth. I have 50 + wireless devices connected and the transition was seamless as you can use the same network name and password.

    I did not realize that every devise that uses this will need to be authorized with my cell phone. I probably would have chosen a different brand.

    Have only had it a few months but seems to be doing great! Set up was a pain in the… Downloaded the app and it didn’t work Finally got it figured out after hours. Not as simple as others to set up. Other than set up issue it’s amazing.

    The Netgear Nighthawk RS200 is an amazing upgrade from my 8 year old Linksys AC1200 wifi router. I went from 175 Mbps download to 740 Mbps! With the future ready wifi7 you can't go wrong.

    I had to call Net Gear to set up the router and again when I couldn't connect it to the printer. Net gear helped and was very pleasant. Instructions that came with the unit not so helpful. I had to call geek squad 3 times before I got everything working.

    My spectrum router was shocking at best yielding a wireless signal of MAYBE 50mbps. Within 48 hours, I'm showing speeds of over 300 . Don't second guess it. Just do it.

    1 year almost to the day, and it connected to Internet 97 times in 4 hours. Firmware up to date, factory reset, power cycled, and it continues to connect about every few minutes. Reset the the starlink to use that to see if it was the issue. Nope, there weren't any events logged. Good thing I bought the coverage. Hoping the coverage from Best Buy gets this replaced.

      Hi LeighP,

      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 the connectivity of your RS200. When experiencing an issue with connectivity we recommend a few troubleshooting steps; including the updating of firmware, reset and power cycle of your device, we also recommend ensuring all cable are securely fashioned and in good order, reposition your router to a different location free from obstructions and objects like metal cabinets as well as microwaves. Additionally, if your connected modem or ONT also acts as a router, please turn this device to bridge mode to avoid any Double NAT issues.

      If you need additional assistance, please reach out to us at netgearteam@netgear.com with your contact information and a copy of your review, and we will be happy to help you.

      Regards,
      NETGEAR Team
