Love how easy it was to set up. The ease of using the router. The app is very user friendly and easy to navigate. I switched from google mesh to this unit and could not be happier.

I'm not very techy and had a hard time installing this item. Included is a phone number to call for help, and the company representative was very kind and patient, and soon it was up and running. I occasionally get a text that it has checked out my devices and all is well. I get great coverage and am happy I bought this. And it takes up little desk space. A win, win!!!

I loved my previous Nighthawk router but when I upgraded my internet services to 1 gig It was time to upgrade my router. I never even looked at any other routers because my old router was great. Plus I wanted the readyshare ability. Also I wanted to be able to set my own QOS settings. I am hoping they will add that back with a firmware upgrade soon.

Bought this to replace an RAX80 that has worked just fine for years.
Setup was very easy since it's used in conjunction with my Frontier Cable Modem. Setting up and configuring WiFi was also very easy for both my private Networks and Guest Networks.
However, several other important features never worked right on this one or even on a 2nd replacement of the same model. \\Readyshare never worked right and could never access my 2 large USB external drives.
DHCP device and IP address reservations has never worked right either. Devices configured to retain their IP address (by MAC address too) never retain the assigned IP address.
Several other issues with this model - RS200 - resulted in hours on the phone with Netgear Support, nearly every single day after purchase. Netgear Support finally advised me to buy another one of the same model, which I did, but it has the same issues. Netgear has not been abe to identify the cause of these issues, so they remain unresolved. The Netgear Support Tech I worked with told e that he believes they are defective. Not happy at all.

I recently upgraded my internet and decided to upgrade my router as well . I really like everything about this router from easy setup and customization to built in internet protection. Plus the signal strength is amazing! If you’re looking for a new router I’d definitely recommend getting this one .

Well i had a tp-link router and i was not to happy with it’s performance and decided to try another router and went to Best Buy and seen a router called NETGEAR i was hesitant to purchase it because I had a bad experience with the TP link router, but I decided to give it a try. It is set up with easy and once I got it going and connected my products to it the armor plus security feature has on it was very impressive it automatically get a scan on all my devices connected to the router and block that all malware and spyware and I didn’t even know were infecting my devices. I was very impressed.

I purchased this as an upgrade as recommended by my internet provider to increase speed and capacity. Other than some confusion linking my wireless print to the new network, it has worked out well. The tech service from Netgear was very good.

Great router upgrade over an earlier model. I would have given it a 5 star if it had supported the 6 Ghz band which most new smartphones and laptops support.
