Excellent
I kept having the wheel of death in my bedroom trying to stream movies - not any more with my new Nighthawk router. Plus I do have spectrum internet and I read Netgear is an excellent choice to pair with this internet service. This is my 2nd nighthawk router, I needed to update as the other one was boughten in 2018.

Best I have ever had
As someone who relies heavily on stable and fast internet, I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the NETGEAR Nighthawk BE6500 Wi-Fi 7 Router (RS200). The dual-band Wi-Fi 7 technology delivers remarkable speeds—perfect for streaming, gaming, and handling multiple devices all at once. The coverage is excellent, easily reaching every corner of my home without a hitch. Setting it up was a breeze thanks to the Nighthawk app, and the built-in security features like NETGEAR Armor give me added peace of mind. While it doesn’t include the 6GHz band that tri-band routers have, its performance on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands more than makes up for it. Overall, it’s been a great investment for upgrading my home network and improving everyday connectivity!

Works great with Spectrum 500 modem
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is very little attenuation between the modem and the ethernet connection from the router to my computer. This is mostly what I use.

Good price and features
I bought this to replace my tplink gaming router due to the impending ban. It's hard to find a home router with the tools and configuration options to satisfy a router nerd/concerned parent, with the capabilities that modern amenities demand on a budget. This router delivers far more than I expected with a 2.5gbps WAN port as well as a 2.5gbps LAN port. The security features are something you never knew you wanted and the numerous configuration options are a playground for those who like to tweak their network.
A great buy!

Solid hardware great app
I needed to upgrade my 15 year old Netgear router finally after getting fiber Internet. The fact that my last Netgear router lasted so long and performed so well I knew Netgear was my best option and I'm very happy with my new night hawk rs200. Looking forward to years of dependable service and I enjoy the new app.

Excellent all round product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From setup to operation it really took less than twenty minutes, and that includes disconnecting the old router and updating firmware of the nighthawk router. Using the nighthawk app is very straightforward and user friendly. Network speeds did increase from the ISP router and now we have guest network functionality and improved security with help from the armor backed by bitdefender firewall. That is the greatest benefit is protection for all the peripheral or IoT devices in the home like cameras which are scanned and safeguarded from hackers now. Will continue to use nighthawk products in the future!

Super easy and strong signal strength
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our previous router started to cut out and in - making it hard to use the internet. Replaced it with a new cable (Netgear Nighthawk CM3000) modem and router (Netgear Nighthawk BE6500 Dual-band WiFi 7 Router (RS200) . We had no idea how slow our previous set-up was - not we are running over 2x as fast downlink! We even set up a guest Network (not only for our guests, yet for all of our IoT devices). The whole process took less than 30 minutes to perform. We highly recommend using Netgear Products!

Replace my old NETGEAR with a new one.
I want to thank Amazon for a good price and fast shipping!
I had some problems setting up my new router so I called NETGEAR customer service and the young lady was very helpful and knew immediately what the problem was and was able to walk me thru the problem. I will never buy any other brand. I’m a NETGEAR customer for life. My neighbor asked me how did my new router went because they are unhappy with theirs. I told them to go with NETGEAR!

Excellent Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am extremely pleased with my RS200! It arrived quickly and was easy to install and set up. My ISP provides 1Gbps and am registering 925 Mbps for downloads and 536 Mbps for uploads. I have a two story home and had no issues connecting all of my devices, including a home standby generator at the opposite end the house and on the basement level. I highly recommend the RS200 - excellent product and great price!

Fixed my internet!
I was having issues with my “stock” modem/ router combo. After using this router in bridge mode it completely fixed my internet. Faster speeds and further distance. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase

User friendly VPN WiFi router
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with this purchase. We were in need of replacing our outdated router. The nighthawk offers an extremely user friendly APP allowing to control the VPN and devices that attempt to connect your network. It also offers superior parental controls via user friendly UI that anyone could quickly learn. The latest WiFi 7 speed is outstanding too!!!

Easy to Setup
I like this light wait router. It was very easy to set up with the download of their app and I can set up a guest wifi. I like also on the app, I can all devices that are connected to the wifi. Oh and the speeds are fast.
