NETGEARNighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 7 Router (RS280S) - Router Only, BE9200 Wireless Speed (up to 9.2 Gbps) - Covers up to 2,500 sq. ft. - 2.5 Gig Internet Port – 1-Year Armor & Free Expert Help

Incredible router for the price. Just note that if you want Wifi 7 anything, just due to the physics of how that wavelength works you should not expect it to penetrate any walls. I am currently using the 6e and I am genuinely impressed. My download speed is definitely impacted from wifi 6 but latency is much better. This guy has pretty awesome range for stuff like the 2.5 ghz bands and penetrates a lot more than my tp-link routers. The routers ip point access is fairly simple and you can set it up without an app by clicking bottom of the screen which is a plus. There isnt a bunch of visual clutter inside and it integrated instantly with my pfsense server. The shape is nicer since I wanted to use this in a rack with a 3d printed housing. It doesnt get hot from what I have noticed and is completely silent. I took a gander looking at all the one stars that were on this device and from what I have seen is most people just don't understand how a lot of these machines work or the capabilities of the bands they are using. Dont expect wifi 7 to go through walls ever. 6e will significantly struggle so if you need distance/walls, you should lower your settings for the network you are adding in the configs.

Bought this to replace the router I had for 10 years. If its not broke then you dont need to fix it or replace it is why I waited to buy a new router. Started to have issues with the old router. After some research and looking at reviews I chose this router.Instaltion was almost easy, I chose to do setup through the computer based on reviews. Had to refresh microsoft edge a couple times to finish set up. Easy other then thatHaving this router fixed alot of issues I thought was related to software. One example is a game I played would not display information in some windows. With this router I had no problems with the gameThe backward compatability, the two ghz ranges allows my older security cameras to connect to router.The range is good also. Live in an apartment and this router now covers entire apartment so I can use internet on any device in any room with barely any slowdowns.Even the app is pretty good. Combines other apps i use into one such as an app that shows whats on your network and speedtest. As well as all the othet functions you need.Over all great router so far.

After almost 20 years I replaced my first Netgear router after DSL. Easy setup but no desktop control panel, control panel only for smart phones. You can do some minor setups from Edge or Chrom. But no access to QOS. Gained a 25% increase in speed if you believe the speed test. But all house devices are operating better including the wireless devices due to its extended range. 20 years ago, paid $78.00 for the router, this new one a little expensive but if it lasts another 20 years then I would say it's worth the money. It is ready if you decide to get 2.5 Gig service in the future and your ISP is providing 1 Gig service now. Replace my old router and had the Nighthawk up and operating in the house circuit in 20 minuets. You must register the product!

Faster, more reliable than my Lynksys. Little disappointed that the router does not provide parental controls without a subscription. You can set profiles that have children and their devices but you have to manually turn them on and off. You cannot set a time limit without a subscription.I have used Netgear routers before. They lasted for years without issues. I'm glad I purchased this router for our home.

Good router, haven’t had any issues so far, easy setup, much faster than my previous router. Range is really good in 2500sq ft house

Easy setup and very stable, it has been running for several months without any issues. It's also extremely stable and handles all of our web traffic every day, no drops or buff during streaming 4K streaming at all. Excellent coverage and signal strength throughout the house and outside on the deck. Highly recommended.

Bought this router for $20 off ---had it within a couple of days. It was easy to set up, and it was up and running within 15 minutes. Basic, no-frills interface that does what I wanted.
