Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had an older NETGEAR router, upgraded my internet plan to a gig. My old router was 10 years old and still giving me 560 down. I decided to upgrade to see if I could do better with the idea I could always return it if I wasn't impressed. I'm now getting a consistent 957 down and 30 up and this is important...my wife thinks I'm a genius ;) In all seriousness, beyond my expectations. It's easy to setup, walks you through everything and brings amazing speeds.

Title: Blazing Speeds, Seamless Setup Description: The Netgear Nighthawk RS300 is everything I hoped for — and more. Setup was a breeze, and within minutes, my home was blanketed in fast, stable Wi-Fi. Streaming football and basketball is now flawless, even in 4K. No buffering, no lag — just smooth, uninterrupted game day action. This router is built for the future. With Wi-Fi 6E support, it’s ready for multi-gig speeds and dense device environments. I’m currently on a 250 Mbps plan, but it’s comforting to know the RS300 can easily handle a 1 Gbps upgrade when I’m ready.

Wi-Fi 7, wow!! I moved this router from the office to the hall in the middle of my home!! My home is 2600 sqft. Not one dead spot in the house! Also get very good signal out on the deck. Best router I ever had!

Strong and fast signal. Easy to set up using the built-in set up wizard (don't use the nighthawk app - it isn't good). A bit pricey - but hoping to be future proof for a long time.

My former cable modem/router failed. After consulting with Best Buy, I decided to purchase a separate cable modem and router. The ease of connection was greatly appreciated. The Wi-Fi transmission rate to my home devices greatly improved. I really appreciated the improved speed on my laptop. I am sold on NETGEAR products. Great value received for money spent. The other intangible is Best Buy consulting. Overall, a great purchase experience.

Excellent quality. Ease of setup. Works great. Seems to have very good coverage.

Blazing fast, no drops I’ve had zero signal issues since switching to the Nighthawk BE9300. It covers every room in the house, even the dead zones that used to cut out. Setup was quick, and I noticed the speed boost immediately—downloads are way faster and streaming is flawless. No regrets. Absolutely recommend.

Easy to install Great range Friendly app It is a great replacemet for my very but still reliable Netgear router Good price and good looking too...

Simple to setup and offers amazing speeds and coverage of the entire house for every kind of WiFi devise... from old 802.11b to the newest WiFi standard that only a few manufactures have just started putting in high-end laptops and smartphones. This router has been stable and reliable so far, and I love how it notifies me every time a new device connects to my network. I also like how it consolidates all of the different WiFi bandwidth's onto one broadcast name and intelligently switches what kind of WiFi is used with each device depending on device type and distance. Providing the best connection possible. It's a slick WiFi router and compliments a fiber modem really well.

The product works well and is lightning fast for everyday use. I did run into a couple issues after setting it up however. First the provided Ethernet cable did not work with my ISP's modem leading to a process of trial and error before resorting to using a lower tier cable. Secondly, the router and app came default with Netgear's "Armor" feature that acts as sort of firewall that blocks certain connections frequently which led to complete loss of WiFi connectivity for a few minutes. I ended up disabling the feature altogether and haven't had disconnections issues since. Overall the Nighthawk router works very well and is quite fast compared to their older products. The app makes managing the router simple and user-friendly.

I decided to take the plunge with the Nighthawk and replaced both my modem and Wi-Fi router. The difference was immediate—not just in speed, but also in Wi-Fi range. It was so effective that I no longer needed Wi-Fi extenders for my alarm system. If you’re thinking about making the switch, go for it—you won’t be disappointed!

A replacement/upgrade from an older model. From all the devices that I had connected and the fact that the other model was over 8 years old, was getting spotty. Now with this upgrade along with a new Modem, not only are all the devices working seamlessly but the speed is OUTSTANDING. For myself and what I have needed this for, would highly recommend.

I am very happy with the purchase. The router has excellent signal strength and range. I was upgrading 3 year old wi-fi 6 router which was still working well, but the difference between the old one and the new one is noticeable. Easy to set up.

This router is amazing! Great signal, Fast, easy to use, great for gaming and a ton of devices. Highly recommend it.

I haven't had the router for too long but so far it is amazing, at first I had trouble getting it working at first but after giving a call to Netgear support they were patient and helped me until I made sure everything was working. The speed and range is really good to the point I can get the full 1gb download speed through multiple walls in my room through WiFi. Keep in mind that to get high speeds with the router your device has to be Wifi 6E/7 to use the 6ghz Band, and it isn't worth it if you have speeds less than Gigabit or high.

Fairly easy setup. I could see a difference right away, with faster speeds.

Great product, easy to setup, paired effortlessly with Spectrum modem, nice and intuitive app, very reliable and does provide the performance expected matching specs and advertising.

It does exactly what it is supposed to do. Super easy setup, works well!

I replaced an older Netgear model with this unit. Set up was easy and so far have experienced no issues

Know that your Switch 1 will not want to connect to this router as well as any other device that is about the same age old. I did not buy this router for that reason, I replaced my aging router that was not going to be receiving any more updates. It also didn't have WIFI 6 nor did it have the fast ports. This one has WIFI 7 and the faster 2.5 ports which is why I went with this router. I prefer NETGEAR branded tech because it has the best security and is an American brand. I would not trust anything else and neither should you.
