NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router (RS140) - Router Only, BE5000 Wireless Speed (up to 5.0 Gbps) - Covers up to 2,250 sq. ft., 80 Devices - 2.5 Gig Internet Port – Free Expert Help

The NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router RS180 solved my connectivity problem with a stable connection to handle my network speed with stability. The size is perfect to sit on top of the bookshelf. I recently upgraded to Spectrum Gigabit Internet & Spectrum sent me their WiFi7 Router. From day 1 I was having problems streaming WiFi to my Roku Devices. It would freeze or buffer every 30 minutes or so but the internet connection was fast & stable. The WiFi streaming in my house that was choking. Spectrum sent me a replacement router & I made sure all the wires were Cat6 but the issue continued. Spectrum Tech Support said the issue was my Roku Devices were on 2.4 GHz WiFi. Thing was for years I have streamed WiFi like this and it works for my needs. If a WiFi7 can't handle a WiFi 2.4 device, that router is trash. So I purchased my own Router and all the problems are solved immediately. The NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 RS180 Router was easy to install. I did not use the App. Even though the admin page initially tries to make you install the app, I just select I don't have a compatible mobile device, and then you can get to the Router Admin Panels from your PC Browser with local admin login. No need for an App to install or configure, but you can install the NetGear App at any time you so choose. For the last 5 years I had the NetGear R8000-100NAR Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Router, so this NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router RS180 seems to have stable connections so hope I get years of solid use out of this device.

I spent some time doing research on both modems and routers, including speaking with several IT professionals. I ended up landing on this Nighthawk after many recommendations. This router was a breeze to set up and paired perfectly with my new Motorola B12 cable modem. The step by step instructions in the app made it very easy; the performance and user-friendly experience is really nice. You can easily view all devices connected to the network, configure a separate guest network, run a Speedtest directly from the modem, and more. 2.4 and 5 GHz are automatically configured based on the devices connected. I used the same SSID / Login/ network name from my previous WiFi router and all devices connected seamlessly to the new Nighthawk. I am very pleased with the purchase!

This was the best reviewed router in my budget and I couldn’t be happier. It replaced an old Nighthawk I was borrowing from a friend. The installation was simple and the effect was immediate: better range, stronger signal, no more dropping from the network for no reason, no more lagging due to the number of connected devices. The signal now comfortable reaches our driveway and separate garage (home gym), so now we can work out while streaming workout videos and music. I would absolutely recommend this router to anyone looking for maximum performance on a budget!

I recently upgraded my Spectrum internet to 1 Gig. They sent me a new modem and router, but their router just didn't quite do it for me. So I Googled a good 1 Gig router and the Nighthawks popped up. Based on Amazon reviews I tried this model. So far I'm very impressed. Setup was super easy with the app. So how is performance? This thing flys. It's super quick, the speed difference on my phone loading things and my tvs loading is noticeable. The range is great, I used to use wifi extenders for some of my cameras but I no longer need them now. I'm very happy with this purchase and highly recommend this router.

The router set-up is not flawless. The Nighthawk App is glitchy. Started with following instructions to use the Nighthawk App. I followed each,step and towards the end of set-up, either the App, or router hangs. Being an old school network guy, I logged into the router and did the set-up there. Once I got set-up via the local,web browser, the interface in the Nighthawk App synced with the router and there it is, the tri-band router is,working. I really like the 6G WiFi for my devices. I also created a Mesh wireless network using the the Netgear EXS25 and EXS27 extenders. Again I tried the Nighthawk App set-up, hangs and clunky. I resorted to plugging in a lan/etherenet cable into the ports and configured manually. Worked well. Again the Nighthawk App finally caught up after the manual web,based set-up. Netgear please fix that clunky Nighthawk set-up App. A novice will find this frustrating and may return the product. Perhaps you should also publish,how to set-up using the web interface. I would have given this 3 stars but for now 4 will suffice. Once the nework,is running,it is a breeze to admimister. Also with the 3000 sq foot coverage of the router plus 2 wifi extenders, the whole house is completely covered with no weak or blind areas.

Essentially doubled speeds in my house where the router is poorly placed in the master closet (by design of the builder). A couple rooms are on the other side of the house and the Spectrum router was a joke. This performs so much better and the setup was easy and painless. You can do it through the app but thankfully Netgear still allows you to simply log into the router locally which is my preferred way of doing it. Only had it for a week or so but so far no issues. Looks like a monolith and I love it.
