Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this to replace an older (very much older) Netgear router. This one was easy to install, set-up, and use. Only negative, and I knew it before I bought it, are the number of Ether net ports. Wish it had a couple more like the older one.

The NETGEAR Nighthawk BE6500 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router is a powerful router that provides excellent coverage. I'm impressed with how well it covers both the third and first floors of my townhouse. Setup was also incredibly simple.

Great product! Set up went fairly well, Supplied extra wiring wasn't needed.

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 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.

Had to get this Router because spectrum said that need this for my internet so brought it so this is all have say about this router but it haven’t lower my bill it was just a lye for me to buy this router

So far this Router has been working as expected without any problems.

Very pleased with this purchase. So far, WiFi appears to be faster. Would recommend.

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.

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!

Have no problems. Has definitely helped my connect problems

Great product for home internet with ease of installation

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 .

Works great. The app for setup bugs out though randomly.

Setup was really easy through the companion app. Works well with all my connected devices and the app offers a lot of flexibility on customizing my connection.

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.

awesome router, best one I've had. i have been using nighthawk routers for years and I'm never disappointed.

It was easy to set up and get working. The AP fir Nighthawk work equally well.

Super easy to set-up & use - signal strength super
