Excellent Wi-Fi router for a small apartment to support up to >50 devices simultaneously. I had an old Wi-Fi 5 router that wasn't providing adequate bandwidth in the back of my apartment. After replacing it with this mini-powerhouse, my speeds went up significantly. Netgear is my preferred choice for home networking solutions and I'll continue buying since they are an American brand. This has all the features and security settings I needed to configure and protect my internal network.

This router I purchased used and I'm very pleased with it. It looks cool but it works very well. I am using 10 gps fiber and it handles it very well. I get fast reliable connectionsThe only downside is your purchasing a subscription based model with specialized hardware. What I mean is router is hardware but Netgear amour by but defender is software protection. At it costs 49 year they give me one month free. Under circumstances it's ok deal but to use features of the router you have to pay this cost. One thing I'm doubtful is uninstall my antivirus software on my computer even though it's implemented at this level. You never know. All in all I'm pleased with it

Super easy to setup. Was up and running in 10 minutes via nighthawk app. coverage is incredible. Great signal strength all around my 2800 square foot two story home, no dead spots! The RS700 is extremely fast with 5gig fiber internet too. Love it!

I was a bit uncertain about getting this particular Netgear Nighthawk because of the price. I use it at home and we only have maybe 15 devices (computers, phones, TVs, appliances). I was upgrading my internet service to a 2Gbps plan but wanted something that would scale in the future if I went to 5Gbps or 7Gbps plans offered by my ISP. This seems like it will take me several years into the future. The setup is an absolute breeze. You install a phone app that walks you through all the basic setup. I had the router up and running in a few minutes. I connected the 10Gbps want port to the providers ONT and ran a speed test and was getting a full 2.5Gbps to the router. I attached my devices (WiFi 5, WiFi 6, 1Gbps wired ethernet, 2.5Gbps MoCA, etc. Everything worked perfectly with no configuration changes required. My dogs collars are on the WiFi and they get great signal strength and can walk several houses away before they lose WiFi signal so they get at least some minimal signal for several hundred feet. Just a fantastic product. I like the included security features, the push notification when there are security or network connectivity issues. It's pretty advanced capabilities and I'm sure I only use a small fraction of the features.

Works beautifully as advertised, the wifi is awesome and speedy on fiber optic networks. The setup is easy to ease and multiple devices do not slow down any with the speed of it. Worth the money spent on it if you require fast speeds and ability to connect multiple devices.

Quick and easy to set up. The Netgear armor gives an added level of protection to my devices. Be able to connect to over 30 devices with ease. Range meets expectation. I wish that it had 2.5Gbe in it as well, but it still performs great in lieu of it. I would recommend it to friends and family. Smaller footprint than the TP-link comparative.

Easy install, fits in a SOHO situation quickly, Nighthawk configuration excellent with some site-unique device config via browser access. More than doubled my download speed from a 5-year-old NG router! Merged into my complex home network within one day of testing and configuring — transparent switchover.

funciono solamente por cerca de dos horas y su cobertura y velociddad, sobresaliente. Después, simplemente se apago para no volver a encender. Iniciamos la devolución por tal motivo.

Firmware: 1.0.7.86Review written: November 26, 2024I work in IT and have configured various wireless routers over the years, and this post is written from that perspective.The Netgear RS700S is very highly reviewed online, as of 2024 it's one of the top WiFi 7 routers on the market, in the consumer-grade class. Enterprise gear gets much more expensive, but isn't a benefit for us home users.It was released in July 2023, supporting WiFi 7. I waited until November 2024 before purchasing, to replace my old Wifi 5 (802.11ac) router. The reason for waiting so long is many new tech products aren't actually ready on release, as the software will have a lot of bugs only revealed after being on the market. On release, there were multiple bugs that got fixed over time, which can be read about in forums online or in early reviews here.My RS700S is configured in "Access Point" mode, as I already have a main router/firewall to distribute the wired Ethernet connections. The goal was to get very robust WiFi 7 capability, along with previous 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz standards for older devices. The RS700S is actually 3 broadcasters in one unit, supporting those bands.As a quick refresher, the 3 radio frequency bands of wireless have different tradeoffs. The lower the frequency, data transfers slower, but the range is longer. The higher the frequency, data transfers faster, but range is significantly lessened. A wireless "standard" such as WiFi 5, 6, 7, etc. can make use of one or more frequency bands, depending on the standard and settings.2.4Ghz - Slow, but longest range. Okay for web pages and standard lower-resolution online video, downloads are limited to a few MB/s even with a strong signal.5Ghz - Much much faster than 2.4Ghz, but *much* shorter range. Larger modern homes (with hollow walls) likely need several access points in a mesh network for adequate connectivity and speed.6Ghz - Even faster, but shorter range than 5Ghz. Basically a "be in the same room as the WiFi access point, otherwise good luck" technology.The actual range and speed you will get depends on a lot of factors: The speed of your internet, the speed of the WiFi router, the WiFi connection's actual negotiated stable speed, the distance, any walls & materials between you and the router, radio interference, the antennas and hardware speed of your device, and other factors. At every point the connection must be strong to get speed, as the slowest link determines speed.The only device I have right now that supports 6Ghz is my phone, my other devices are 5Ghz, and one older 2.4Ghz device. My RS700S is stable in the 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz bands, and is quicker than my previous WiFi 5 router (which is several years older and less powerful). But my RS700S seems to have a bug in firmware version 1.0.7.86 that causes issues with the 6Ghz band, which could result in dropouts. I am getting intermittent IP traffic issues when using the 6GHz band, which manifests as phone applications pausing when trying to load data. Signal is okay-ish (4 of 5 WiFi bars, -60dbm) and data will continuously flow at speed, but then for a few seconds stop, then flow again. I am about 15 feet away, with one hollow wall between. I do not get this issue on the other bands, and have been using the 5GHz band mainly. From research online, 6Ghz dropouts seem to happen in firmware version 1.0.7.86 but not in prior firmware versions.Firmware needs to be tested extensively before release, and there should be standardized testing in place at Netgear's lab to catch this. Just test it a bit longer before release! This is an expensive device, and I've had much cheaper WiFi access points over the years that just worked. I do not want a refund or a swap, only updated (and thoroughly tested) firmware.

Rendimiento:Tenía un AP Unifi AP AC Pro y todo mejoró estrepitosamente, rango en la misma planta, velocidad de respuesta de conexión de todos los dispositivos. La cámara que tengo en la entrada emite de inmediato la imagen, antes demoraba unos segundos, pese a que es de 2.4ghzEstabilidad:No es necesario reiniciar el router, trabaja sin problemas todo el tiempo. Sólo recomiendo que en los celulares se deshabilite la opción de MAC address aleatoria, tal como lo indica Netgear.Estética:Es un poco grande, pero es muy bonito, combina con cualquier decoración, eso en comparación con las arañas gamer que tienen las antenas externas.Precio:Si vale la pena si quieres lo mejor del momento, por lo menos debería ser útil la tecnología hasta dentro de 5 años, sin embargo, creo que hay opciones nuevas con rendimiento aceptable a menos por menos de la mitad de precio.Conclusión: Actualizando firmware y configurando todo debidamente es un excelente router.
