I replaced an older nighthawk router because I thought it was the cause of my network outage. It ended up being a Spectrum node issue that they didnt discover until after two service visits. This was actually a blessing in disguise as my network speed doubled with the new router. Easy setup using nighthawk app that I already had. I really like that you can tell it to automatically choose which network band to use so only one router name shows up in your device wifi setup instead of three (2.4g, 5.0g, 6.0g). It is seamless so your phone or other device just switches to the band with the best signal depending on distance from router. I didn’t even know about 6.0g until I got this router. It works really well if you are close enough to the router.

Setting up this router was a breeze. I had it going in about 15 minutes flat after physical installation and updates. The speeds, via hardline, are exceptional. We have 1 gb speeds and this router delivered on that flawlessly. The wifi is where it falls a bit short. Speeds via wifi are actually great the range is where the life is sucked out of it. Go beyond one room and you start seeing bars disappear. Besdies this, unless you have a huge home its a great choice.

Recently upgraded my router and this was the one chosen at my local BestBuy. It was a Huge upgrade and the performance increase was well worth the investment. The current WiFi on my network are 10x better than before. Even wired into the router I’m finally getting over 1.3gbs download. I’m impressed and worth the investment. Upgraded my modem as well.

The product is good, and so far it has never given me any problems, and it's easy to install. It's very fast. It also has protection that takes care of all the devices. I really like it for its security, and I recommend it.

Excellent router, works perfectly for 1gig internet and is able to handle all of my devices perfectly. Armor service was a little annoying but goes away in a month.

The NETGEAR Nighthawk BE9300 is an incredible router. Setup was straightforward, and the Wi-Fi 7 speeds are noticeably faster than my old Wi-Fi 6 setup. Streaming 4K content, online gaming, and multiple devices running at the same time all work flawlessly.
The tri-band design really helps keep everything smooth, even with several smart home devices connected. Range is excellent—I get strong signal throughout my house without dead spots. The interface is intuitive, and the advanced settings let me tweak things if I want more control.
Cons:
It’s on the pricier side, but the performance justifies it.
Size is larger than typical routers, so it needs a good spot.
Overall:
If you want top-of-the-line speeds and future-proof Wi-Fi for multiple devices, this router is worth it. Streaming, gaming, and smart devices all run without a hitch.

Router works great. Fast and easy to setup. Was replacing an older WiFi6 Router and the new one transferred everything over with ease. Range is great for a standard sized home. Noticed an immediate difference in speeds and signal strength. Highly recommend this router to anyone upgrading to Wi-Fi 7.

I’ve been using the Nighthawk RS3000 for about four months now, across two different ISPs — first on a 1Gb plan and currently on a 2Gb plan — and it has been rock solid the entire time.
My home is a full smart home with roughly 40 connected devices spread throughout the house, along with several hardwired connections. The router handles all of it effortlessly and fully supports a 2.5Gb connection. Setup was quick and straightforward, and connecting to my ISP through a cable modem was completely seamless. The fiber gateway through AT&T required a few steps, but I was able to follow an easy YouTube guide.
On my current plan, I consistently see average download speeds around 1.87Gb, which is incredible, with latency averaging about 15 ms. Performance has been extremely stable; no speed drops, latency spikes, or random hiccups. I haven’t experienced a single issue since installation.
Another big plus is software stability. There haven’t been constant patches or disruptive updates, which I really appreciate.
Overall, the RS3000 runs great, performs exactly as expected, and has been a reliable centerpiece for a demanding smart home setup.

Excellent purchase. Easy to set up with the app. Has not had any issues with dropping signal. Consistent fast speed. Cover my entire home with a strong signal. Handles many devices with no lag. Great choice at this price point.

I went into this wanting to get a mesh wifi system. I live in an 1800 sf slab home. I've always had issues with signal strength from upstairs to downstairs. We upgraded our Spectrum to 1 gig service. Downstairs, with my old Nighthawk router, i was pulling a 400mbs download with 30mbs upload, which is not slow, but some buffering would occur on our streaming platforms. It took maybe 10 minutes to set up, get firmware updates, and sign in to all my devices. My new speeds from downstairs are insane. 1.02 gig per secons with 40mbs upload! What a absolute beast. How can it pull in more than what im paying for through Spectrum. Its amazing. Do not hesitate with this router!

I needed a new router to improve the WiFi coverage in my home. The Spectrum router I had was providing spotty coverage to the far corners of my house. I considered adding their pods, but the Spectrum representative suggested investing in a NETGEAR router for better coverage and to save on my monthly bill. It was easy to setup and I was able to use my existing WiFi name and password so I didn’t have to reconnect all of my devices. So far it is everything I hoped for. I went with this model as it provides for increased speed if I need it and it is setup to handle up to 100 devices.

Title: Works Flawlessly With Verizon FiOS
Description: Purchased this to replace that awful Verizon provided cr1000 router and it works way better! My home is ethernet configured so it was easy to plug in the WAN cord from the ONT straight into the router for plug and play - didnt have to configure anything additional. WiFi signal is great, speeds are great, and does a great job auto assigning the signal and security method for older and newer devices.
