This modem helped our WiFi speeds increase compared to our old one. The app is very useful and the setup is easy. The WiFi coverage is much better as well.

I recently upgraded to the NETGEAR Nighthawk RS300 from a previous WiFi 7 router that only supported dual-band connectivity. The dual-band setup was causing reliability issues with my numerous smart home devices, leading to frequent connectivity drops and slower speeds.The Nighthawk RS300 has been a game-changer. It offers tri-band technology, which significantly improves the distribution of devices across different frequency bands, ensuring a more stable and reliable connection for all my smart home gadgets. Since installing the Nighthawk RS300, I have consistently experienced speeds that exceed the advertised rates from my ISP, which is a testament to the router's superior performance.Moreover, the setup process was straightforward, and the user interface is intuitive, making it easy to manage and monitor network performance. The advanced features, such as QoS (Quality of Service) and MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output), further enhance the overall network efficiency and speed, especially in a household with multiple devices connected simultaneously.In summary, the NETGEAR Nighthawk RS300 has resolved my connectivity issues and provided a significant boost in internet speed and reliability. For anyone facing similar problems with their current router or looking to upgrade to a more robust and efficient network solution, this router is definitely worth the investment.

This router is everything as advertised and more. Set up with the app was quick and easy. Once I had it set up with my old network's name all my devices connected seamlessly. Overall coverage in my home is great. Worth every penny!

So far so good, but not without compatibility issues and annoyances.1. Basic setup was very easy, but you have to have an active cable modem or other digital service internet connection to setup the router. 2.5 Gb Ethernet RJ-45 interface is there. There are also 2 additional 2.5 Gb RJ-45 internet interfaces plus 2 1 Gb RJ-45 internet interfaces.Annoyance: The Nighthawk phone/ipad app only supports basic setup.If you want to do something like disable SSID broadcast, you need to manually login directly to the router via laptop from a browser.Other routers can be setup without the connection, and then plugged into a live internet connection like a cable router.2. Some older networked appliance type devices may have WiFi compatibility issues.Example: Older Apple TV boxes like the Generation 2 Apple TV A1469 will hang on initial connection request to the network. You will get to the screen where you can select a network SSID for AppleTV to choose, but it will bomb out with a message:"There was a problem connecting to the internet. The WIFI password entered is not correct. Try Again. (-3900)" - or -"There was a problem connecting to the internet. The WIFI password entered is not correct. Try Again. (-100)"Often this happens before the system has even prompted you to enter in a password. You have only selected the network.This is a modem chip type communications issue which is actually somewhat common with older WiFi devices built to older WiFi specs and newer WiFi6/WiFi6E/WiFi7 routers, not just Apple and not just NETGEAR.One workaround in my case was to DISABLE Access Control on the router and retry setup of the old Apple TV device. This did not work.Another workaround of changing authentication to downgrade WPA2/WPA3 back to WPA2 on the router and retry setup. WPA2 is apparently not always reliably detected by the NETGEAR Router. This did not work, either.Annoyance: The Nighthawk app also is too basic to handle this as well, and info on the WPA settings is not under the SECURITY tab, but under the INFO on the wireless network - but not changeable there. Again, you have to login.Another workaround of disabling all router security also did not work. With some routers it will work, but the older Apple TV boxes will return to an error state of (-100) or (-3900) once security is turned back on.Before you return your router, consider replacing the older devices unless you have no option. In my instance, the Gen 2 Apple TV 1469 box is the only device I have that had connection issues. The device is very old and getting a new one is not that expensive. You may run into similar problems with older Home WiFi appliances adhering to older WiFi specs, even if you replace the router with a different brand. Search their knowledge bases before deciding to return the router and getting something else. Do your research on the device and the specific routers you are looking at, and don’t blindly trust what the router vendor tells you..Keep in mind that WiFi7 is also still an interim draft specification at this time (January 2025), but it has backwards compatibility. WiFi7 is faster than WiFi6 or 6E, but not much can take advantage of the speed yet.WiFi6 is a released spec.WiFi6E is somewhat proprietary and has no backwards compatibility or limited backwards compatibility, but it is faster than 6.I did, however, still notice a definite improvement in my Internet TV devices on the new NETGEAR RS300 Router.
