    My older Night Hawk router from three years ago still worked, but I went with gateway fiber and a new modem with them so I purchased this new router to be safe. Turns out it kept dropping the signal and I had to constantly reset the router daily. Needless to say this $300 baby went back to Best Buy and then I hooked the old Night Hawk router ($179.00) and it works flawlessly. Who knew????

    Probably a good modem router combo for standard home installations. In my case, the router would not operate in bridge-mode, which I had to have.

      Hi AdamJ,

      Thank you for your review and valuable feedback. We would like an opportunity to improve your experience with the connectivity of some of your devices with the RS300. When experiencing an issue with connectivity with some connected devices, we recommend disabling Smart Connect. With Smart Connect enabled, that same router broadcasts a single NETGEARWIFI SSID for both the 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band. You see a single SSID broadcast when connecting your devices, and the router automatically selects the best WiFi band for each device. For more details on this topic please visit the following resource: https://kb.netgear.com/25346/What-is-Smart-Connect-and-how-do-I-enable-or-disable-it-on-my-Nighthawk-router.

      We would like to follow up with you regarding the issue with some devices not connecting that you are experiencing. Please reach out to us at netgearteam@netgear.com with your contact information, and we will be happy to help you.

      Regards,
      NETGEAR Team

    This thing is garbage. It loses the WiFi at least three times a day. The signal strength is weak at best. You'd think spending over $300 for something you'd say least get some reliability. The LAN is the only thing that is reliable. A family member get a cheaper version and they were smart enough to return it in the return window, I'm stuck with this trash for now

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this a month ago. The setup process was frustrating with the extreme lack of directions. The router is not capable of maintaining consistent WiFi speed. I have 2gigs and it keeps going from 2100mbps download and 2000mbps upload. An hour later it will be 2000mbps download and 300mbps upload. This has been happening since the 2nd week right outside the ridiculously low return policy so I can’t return it.

    Excellent router!! Admittedly I’m an Apple fan boy and have used the AirPort Time Capsule for the last 10+ years. Due to the recent drop in support, it has forced me into other options. Explored this as an alternative and it hasn’t disappointed!! Super easy setup and already experiencing strong signals / faster speeds. The app is super intuitive and easy to use! Hopefully this will last as long as my previous router!

      Hi Riptwisted,

      Thank you for your review and valuable feedback. We would like an opportunity to improve your experience with your RS300. Nighthawk WiFi 7 router WiFi networks are encrypted with WPA2-PSK + WPA3-Personal encryption by default. This is because it is the best blend of compatibility and security available. However, some devices such as printers, smart devices (IoT), and older devices are not compatible with this level of encryption. For these devices to work, you must connect them to a network with a lower level of encryption. Depending on your NETGEAR router, there are different methods of doing this. We recommend visiting the following resource: https://kb.netgear.com/000066695/How-to-resolve-issues-connecting-devices-to-your-NETGEAR-WiFi-7-network.

      If you're still experiencing any issues, please reach out to us at netgearteam@netgear.com — we’re happy to help! If your experience has improved, we’d really appreciate an updated review.

      Regards,
      NETGEAR Team

    After configuration, the wireless router would not connect to the internet. Set it to factory default, and it still wouldn't connect! I confirm it's not the cable modem nor the ISP as I was able to connect with an R8500 router.

      Hi FromDa808,

      Thank you for your review and valuable feedback. We would like an opportunity to improve your experience with your RS300 not connecting to the internet. When experiencing an issue with connecting, we recommend , checking to see if the router can obtain a Internet IP address from your Internet service provider (ISP). Unless your ISP provides a fixed IP address, your router requests an IP address from the ISP. You can determine whether the request was successful using the router web interface. For more details on this topic please visit the User Manual, beginning on page 185: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RS300/RS300_RS280_UM_EN.pdf.

      We would like to follow up with you and look further into the issue with connecting that you are experiencing. 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
