Very good coverage and easy to set up.
The WiFi router was easy to set up and is providing excellent connectivity in the entire house (two story colonial). We have not encountered any bandwidth issues even with 13 devices operating concurrently.

Won’t stay connected
Router works with tv and iPhone but will only stay connected to laptop for 5 minutes or less. Have replaced all cables and wires. Must restart install sequence to get router recognized even then will only stay connected for 5 minutes at a time. Speed is excellent but of no use if can’t stay connected.

Could be better
Not as good as my old router. Had to upgrade due to my one being outdated.

Good router.
As someone who has been paying for 1G for years and receiving about 500 mbps. I bought this router in hopes that I would be getting what I paid for and I have consistently gotten 890-940 mbps.

Works great
Though I needed someone to help me set it up, it was pretty straightforward. I have always been satisfied with Netgear and their customer service which helped me decide which model I should get.

Great little router
The RS 100 router was easy to set up and works well. I have no need for a more expensive router. This one can handle home needs such as a couple of phones, computers and smart TV’s.

Nighthawk RS100 Great little perfomer
I have one TV for streaming and a laptop that I use occasionally while watching TV.
I use the laptop to browse or look up information presented on TV and check financials.
I live in a 900 sq. ft. house and the Nighthawk RS100 works flawlessly. It is twice as fast as my previous router which was eight years old.

Caution with older network devices.
All of the devices in my house were able to connect to the Wi-Fi 7 router, except my older desktop computer. Wired or wireless the desktop would not connect. Performed the normal updates to router , still no success. My workaround was to hardwire connect old Netgear router to new Wi-Fi router. At least my desktop can connect wirelessly. Perhaps a new Wi-Fi card is ...

Updates to keep secure
My old nighthawk router serves me flawlessly for more years than I can remember - but reached EOL. It was time to replace as I require latest in security.
Build quality on this new model appear good- I enjoy the simple shape- and that it takes less space- and install was easy.
I hope it lasts as long as the old one!
