NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router (RS180) - Router Only, BE5500 Wireless Speed (up to 5.5 Gbps) - Covers up to 2,500 sq. ft., 80 Devices - 2.5 Gig Internet Port – Free Expert Help

It's easy to set up, whether via the web interface or the phone app. It's plenty fast, fast enough that WiFi is not the speed limit with our 500 Gbps Internet service. Readyshare works well, too, turning the router into a cheap and easy local file server.

This was an upgrade to a 10 year old router. This allowed me to get the actual download speed I was paying for. Easy to install and works great

I have always used. Netgear routers, well since they've been around, and have always had a very good experience. The Nighthawk was a needed upgrade. It far exceeded my expectations. Easy to setup with a superior signal.

Our old wifi router was no longer getting updates, so I needed to buy a new router. Netgear is one of the few non-Chinese routers the government approves of, so I went with this brand. This router was very easy to set up and worked immediately with little hassle other than changing the wifi info for freakin' everything linked to it... Coverage is great throughout our house and hopefully wifi 7 will future proof the router (we don't have any wifi 7 devices yet).

The manual wasn't lying when it said it would take about 20 minutes to set up the NETGEAR Nighthawk. There was nary a hiccup when it came time to reconnecting my Nest thermostat and smoke detectors, which can be quite persnickety when it comes to dealing with multi-frequency networks (I couldn't them to play nicely with a new multi-frequency gaming router from ASUS, forcing me to return it and go back to my old, slow single-band router until I found the Nighthawk). 10 minutes after setting up the router, I was able to manage to update the router's firmware and create a guest WiFi network. I was a little bit skeptical of using an app to get things started, but I was pleasantly surprised as to how intuitive and downright helpful. All in all, I would definitely say

Easy to set up! Once we got all our Wifi information matched up everything reconnected almost flawlessly, but keep in mind you have to have the password and username the exact same as your old Nighthawk router and it won't mess anything up. It's noticably faster and the security they offer a free trial on will likely be worth the cost. The Internet has stayed stable, still covers the same distance our previous AC2600 did and although it's taller it fit just right. All in all happy with the purchase.

1 Star is too many stars. Netgear’s quality control has really dropped. I could not get this to work after weeks of troubleshooting. It would intermittently drop out and only give me 5 to 10 Mbps, when I am paying for 400 Mbps. I had to disable the Quality of Service (QoS), disable the 20/40 MHz coexistence feature, disable the parental controls and more to get it to finally start working consistently at 400 Mbps. It worked for a couple of days then back to intermittently dropping out and only give me 5 to 10 Mbps. I ran a Command Prompt Continuous Ping to Google’s Public DNS Server 8.8.8.8 and I could watch the intermittent activity. See attachment picture. I don't know what would change after a couple of days of working correctly. I used logical problem solving to eliminate my ISP, and my modem as the issue. I went back to my old Netgear R6400v2 Router, and now my connection is good.

Received this today. We needed to upgrade to a new router as the one we had couldn’t be upgraded anymore. Found this on prime day which made it even a better value. Took a bit to get all our devices to work together but was fairly easy. Hoping it will give us stronger internet.
