    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.

    This was one of the easiest set-ups I have ever installed. It definitely handles the device load for two floors. Highly recommended. Works well with Spectrum Internet.

    I had the previous iteration of this router/modem by Net Gear but after 7 years it was time for a newer, faster one. This is it. Just as good, but faster and better looking.

    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.

    I purchased the BE65009 to replace an old (per haps ancient would be better word) Netgear router. It works like a charm. Set up was simple and easy. I immediately noticed an increase in speed as well as strength of signal. A nice extra was that I could retain my old network name and passowrd. I highly recommend the router for a home network.

    Easy install. All devices connected to WiFi easily. Looks like the basic Armor will work for me. I am terribly dissatisfied that the price when down $20 shortly after I purchased it!

    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 .

    Bought this to replace my Nighthawk X6 R8000. This blows the X6 out of the water. I get better coverage than the X6 and the band carry a better DL than the X6. The only reason I miss my X6 is for the extra DNS settings. My X6 broke down. My WiFi degraded once a week, and it stopped broadcasting the TRI-band.
