NETGEAR Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 7 Router (RS280S) - Security Features, 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

Works well and setup was easy. I like the app for network controls and access. Wifi 7 is amazing!

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!

Amazing! I replaced a 9 year old Nighthawk with this new one today and the difference in speed is crazy. Using the app to connect it was simple. Didn't have to change passwords or anything. Very easy for a non - IT guy

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It's a 2.5G device, and has a cat 5e flat network cable included for your convenience. LEAVE IT IN THE BOX and use Cat 6, minimum, for the 2.5G connections.Other than that, OK. Port forwarding options are buried in the menu very thoroughly; and are done in a new way: Choose 'new custom service' for everything, and that works. Also doubles as a shelf heater... a bit on the warm side.Compatibility:Needed 2.5g for at least 2 computers. Will add a 2.5g switch later, once I install more 2.5G network cards.

Very fast shipping. Good signal, seems to work very well.

I installed this less than a month ago and I've been regretting it ever since. The 5GHz band does not work at all. I've configured it and confirmed it should be broadcasting. 2.4 and 6GHz works without issue but 5 is simply not there. I happen to be a network engineer and have an Ekahau Sidekick handy. I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt that the signal isn't there dispite the router showing it's online.My first call to netgear was over an hour long, as the tech stumbled his way through the basic troubleshooting steps. I had already done them previously, but I understand they have to do what they have to do to get on with the process. So after the hour long call with no resolution, they stated that they "need to give it a week and see if it changes." I reluctantly agreed to go along so I can just get through the process. Wouldn't ya know it, a week later the problem didn't magically fix itself so I called back Netgear. This time I had an hour of my life wasted by a extremely rude and condescending level 2 tech who insisted on doing all the same troubleshooting steps we did on the first call. At the end of the hour and being no closer to fixing the issue , he stated he'd have to transfer me again to a level 3 tech. It's pretty clear at this point the router is defective and no amount of reboots or resets is going to fix it, so I asked if we can just replace it. He said "No we cannot replace it as this is not a known issue." When I asked to speak with a supervisor, he said he'd transfer me and then my call was dropped.At this point I have a expensive and defective router that is just over a month old, have had two hours of my life wasted by the worst customer service I've ever experienced and I'm no closer to having this resolved. It was my hope that Netgear would do the right thing and replace it now that I can't return it to Amazon. No such luck.I STRONGLY urge anyone looking at this router to not only go with a different model, but go with another manufacturer as well. Netgear has really been absolutely terrible. Cisco and Asus both have better options.

I was concerned about coverage as we have a 3200 squ foot house, two floors, and my old router had large and i mean Large antennae. This has even better coverage! The speeds on both upstairs TVs increased! my pixel phone which supports wifi 7 doubled in speed to 1500 Mbit. 2.5 Gbit ethernet port meant my desktop (wired) doubled (almost) from 890 to 1600.There is one possible setup "gotcha"! - they want you to use the Nighthawk app on your phone. It works great, but there is a stage where the router downloads new firmware and reboots. *Your phone will probably automatically switch to use CELL data when it detects wifi going away briefly! This means after the router reboots, your phone will say it cant find it. Just turn off cell data, or manually reconnect to the router, and boom youre back in business.Tech on this is A+, and setup is easy!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Based on specs and reviews.Ease of setup:The app is very easy to use and configure your router.Speed:This router is much faster than the "rental" router provided and supports up to 7G!Wireless connectivity:The wireless signal is max throughout our house (2,200 square feet, 2 stories plus basement).
