    Setup was very easy, especially if you download the NETGEAR app and follow the simple steps. The dual band mesh capability seamlessly connected all of my wireless devices using the best options. Everything works much faster and smoother.

    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.

    Blazing fast internet. I’m paying for 1gb of internet, but I always felt like it was lagging. The reason I started looking at diff internet routers was that I was living in a 1200 sq feet house (1 story) and I noticed that I couldn’t get connection at the other side of the house. I called my provider and the suggested I looked at a wifi extender Story short, I upgraded my internet router, and the connectivity issues were solved! Super fast and easy to setup!

    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.

    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.

    NETGEAR Router Review

    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.

    [Employee of bestbuy] 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.

    Great little router for an apartment

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

    A great router for apartment sized homes. Works with Mac, Linux, and Windows. Works on all 2.4 ghz, 5 ghz, and 6 ghz bands. I verified that can connect to my LG TV (5 ghz), Sonos soundbar (2.4 ghz), old laptop (2.4 ghz), new laptop (6 ghz). I can stream video at 4K and play online games without any hiccups. The band steering feature works well. Band steering lets the router seamlessly switch from the 5 or 6 ghz band (close range) to the 2.4 ghz band (far range). The default router that my ISP gave me was terrible and could not do band steering. It would "get stuck" on a poor band and your device would lag forever. Setup was quite easy. Just make sure to restart the router if it doesn't connect to your ISP on the first try. Be patient and let the power drain completely. Comes with a Cat-5e flat cable (2m length). The router does not get hot and looks minimalistic. Keeps the wife/girlfriend happy.

    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.

    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!

    Hooked up the new Nighthawk in our bonus room, worked through the set up fairly quickly, reset all the passwords for all of our gadgets, happy to see that our doorbell camera worked better than before as it is the farest away from the router. Yes I highly recommend this router. No problems so far

    Title: Safe and Secure Description: My old router was struggling to perform for all of my wireless devices in the house. It was time for an upgrade. I read the reviews and made a decision. The RS300 was the one for my. It powers quite a few devices from laptops to video games effortlessly. I am glad I chose NETGEAR.

    This Netgear BE9300 tri-band router has so far been pretty good. The 6.0ghz frequency band is EXTREMELY FAST if you are relatively near the router - (I pay for 800Mbps and I was able to hit 850 to 950Mbps on the 6.0 band within approximately 20 feet from the router). The range of the 2.4 and 5.0 are both pretty good - I'm around 70 feet away and the connection is solid. The speed is slower - ranges from 250Mbsps up to around as much as 500Mbps on the 5.0ghz band.

    I had a Spectrum router/modem combo which se causing the PS5 store and library game images to fail to load due to some weird DNS settings. Buying this router helped fix this issue as well as given a notciable increase in speed for my 1GBPS connection. This thing is a beast.
