So far so good, pretty fast.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first foray into WiFi 7. I like it so far. Speed is good, and we have about 20 devices on it. Hard wired the consoles and our main tv to it, and load times are minimal, zero lag, and no buffering yet. Had it up for a week so far.

Great router.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only had netgear routers since day one, and I previously decided to upgrade from my 2007 model to the new Nighthawk and what a huge difference. We love it.

Nighthawk router
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sleek new design has a minimalist look and small footprint while still delivering great range of wifi. New wifi 7 speeds are fast if your device accepts it. Handles multiple streaming devices with ease.

Works great easy setup.
After doing my due diligence this router was going to meet my needs to replace a 17 year old router. Speed and security are good.

Massive Upgrade
The equipment looks is sleek very futuristic , Speed is good i have 500mbps/month but i get 550-600mb. Security is top notch though you do need to subscribe the extra layer of protection per month. The range of it is exceptional i can't complain how far the signal can reach 2500 sq. ft. For me is more than enough. It's definitely a major upgrade from my TP Link

Great upgrade
Replaced an old Linksys that had become intermittent. It works great, seems to have better wi-fi coverage and speed is good. Used tech support to get it going, they were responsive and helpful.

Great device
This really helped our internet to switch from the default modem that Midcontinent gave us. I feel like having the modem and router separate has definitely made our internet more stable.

Great Router
This is a very good router and simple to set up. This is my second Night Hawk, and it was worth the upgrade to WIFI 7.

Easy setup Great Coverage
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Downloaded the Nighthawk App before the RS200 arrived. A few hours later it came and setup was a breeze. Great router, sleek look, great coverage and fast.

Router Review
I love my new RS200 Router. My internet is so much faster. It's a huge help since I am working from home on my computer. I also had to contact Netgear for Support and they were so helpful. Excellent product.

Easy setup - quick - intuitive
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was dreading setting up a new router so I put it off for a while, but once I got started, it was super easy. I used my iPhone and the directions were very clear. We were up and running quickly!

Best WiFi router I’ve ever owned, 4th netgesr router. These guys are the best period!!
Upgraded from a AX5200 NETGEAR WiFi router I bought back in 2020. Removing old router and setting up the new RS200 was very simple and fast on the netgear app. The difference was noticed immediately with our upgrade with the wifi7 between 25+ devices with 3-4 on and streaming different things at any given time, multiple current gen game consoles on and playing at the same time, PC’s, cell phones, tablets and WiFi security camera system connected 24/7 via Ethernet. Does not phase the RS200 whatsoever. I connect my Xbox series X to the 2.5gig Ethernet port and have my console now at the Xbox erhernet cap of true 1 gig speeds at all times. Thru our ISP we have a “2gig unlimited” high speed plan and even tho we don’t have access to fiber just yet going from the old AX5200 to the RS200 we jumped well over a gig in download speeds and almost an entire gig in upload speeds. We have absolutely perfect coverage in our 1800sf home and I still get signal almost 2 blocks away haha. With setting up the new RS200 we got a heavily discounted parental control plan which allows you to set up different accounts which you save devices to on the netgear app, you can see all the webpages visited and or block webpages, see data usage, see amount of time online per day, set breaks, set bed times. With multiple children this is a phenomenal feature and I would be more then happy to pay the normal price for the extra service. Another nice thing with the parental control is setting up accounts and adding devices like Rokus, tv’s, and anything else you don’t want using data thru the night or whenever and just simply setting bedtimes so the WiFi is turned off for which ever hours you choose. Over all for a house full of streamers and online gamers with many devices connected at once that use on average 2000+ GB of data a month i am truly upset we did not upgrade to this router any sooner! This is the lowest model in the RS series which blows my mind because this WiFi router is phenomenal and I would recommend to absolutely anyone!

High speed
This router is extremely fast and allows me to maintain a 1gbps connection, which is wonderful. It actually supports over 2.5gbps as well.

The speed it Amazing!
Setup wasnt the easiest in the world but once it was set up, it's been amazing. It handles my gigabit speed with ease. It's like all my devices got an upgrade. My last router was a different brand so I'm still digging into all that Netgear offers but, so far, so good!

Fast and Quick
The router setup was quick and easy. It paired to all my devices in my house hold with ease and it was able to connect with no issues due to range! My previous router needed an extender to reach my daughter room! I highly recommend this router!

Good choice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product was reasonably priced, fairly easy to set up for a non-tech person, takes up minimum space, seems to have good signal coverage in my 2000 square foot house, and overall is working well and as expected.
