Easy to install and nice design
The device met what I was expecting. I had to change our previous router so the internet speed provided by our vendor was not missed. With this device, we were able to use the offered bandwidth from our vendor and installation was quite easy. The design is nice and the app to monitor its function is easy to use.

Great Option
I looked at manyy different routers and decided on this one. Im glad I did.. My old router worked fine but I have alot of devices now and figured a upgrade was overdue... The RS600 sure delivered.. more than triple the speed output of my old router. Setup was also easy. A

Adequate Performance
Overall, this router was easy to set up and use; however, I was disappointed with the coverage area in my home. I needed to also purchase an extender to cover the same area as my old Netgear router, which was out of support

Jasco Smart switches don't work with this product
Install was great, very easy. Only had one unresolved issue with the Jasco smart switches that worked on the previous model R7200 and now most of those switches don't work. Worked with Nitehawk and Jasco to no avail, now stuck with about 12 switches that can't be used. Bought another brand and they worked instantly.

Nighthawk Router
Purchased the router as a replacement. It has performed perfectly for me. I noticed when I am printing wireless there's no delay like the previous router, even if I am downstairs on my laptop. The setup was extremely easy. I was able to setup all my devices easily. Would recommend this router, especially if you live in a two story residence.

Perfect upgrade
Bought this to replace an old Nighthawk device. This one was such a needed upgrade. It covers the entirety of my house and Wifi 7 is noticeably faster that what I previously had. If your modem is compatible, I highly recommend it.

Great router
This router does everything that I wanted. It has good speed and range. It was easy to use the app for the initial set up but login to the web page to do more advanced setup. I would recommend this router.

So glad I upgraded.
Our previous netgear61 worked beautifully for years. It became obsolete. I'm glad it did. We love the netgear64. Huge improvement.

Please read!!
Investigate before purchasing! I thought I did a good job before purchasing, but nothing automatically connected. I had to re-install our printer, all TV's, security cameras, etc. Still can't connect to one of my cameras. Solar panels haven't reported since install of new router. Apparently I have to have ethernet extenders now. I thought this would give me better...

I thought I would skip the mesh router and go with the single modern router. I know I not making a fair comparison because my old mesh router was the Orbi 760 and I guessing it was 5 or 6 years old.

So easy and so much better
My old router was dying - couldn't handle the volume or something. Pages weren't coming up - Teams wasn't working suddenly. Bought this and it took just a few minutes to set up and get connected. Everything just worked. Now we've got vastly improved performance. The router is on the top floor of my (2-story) house and the signal strength in the basement is 5 bars. Strea...

Ok, but WiFi range is limited
Router is ok. WiFi range is shorter than I expected. NightHawk signal strength meter indicates OK or less (<-75dBm) unless it's literally right next to the router.

Easy Setup and Very Fast Wifi
I bought the NETGEAR Nighthawk RS600 as a replacement for an older Nighthawk model. replacing it was so easy with the application. I was up and running in only a few minutes. On Wifi7, I am seeing download speeds of 850mbs and upload speeds around 350mbs. Very happy with the purchase!

Not Quite made in America
Ridiculously over priced for an object they have planned for obsolescence. The last one was 1/5th the price and the support stopped after 4 years
