NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router (RS200) – Security Features, BE6500 Wireless Speed (up to 6.5Gbps) - Covers up to 2,500 sq. ft., 80 Devices – 2.5 Gig Internet Port

Like other posts, I don’t like taking time to write reviews. However, I received an email from Netgear that my router was too old to take anymore updates. Since I prefer NETGEAR, I went online to AMAZON to purchase a router. I decided the (RS200) would easily serve my needs. (My wife and I are old retirees). Amazon had a note that router may be less at other venders. I clicked on and found AMAZON store describing one like new. I ordered half the price and it arrived in mint condition. Set up was fairly easy. It is easier if you have an iPad and iPhone close by. The biggest problem was finding old passwords to reconnect thermostats, Roku sticks, Apple streaming devices. Too, if you have RING cameras. they have to be removed and reset. I got very little help from RING. One was understanding foreign language, other was English speaking that did not have any idea what to do, and lastly is the garage door opener. The NETGEAR has only been installed (3) days, but so far it’s performing very well, and speed has improved.

Bought the RS200 to replace my aging router. Was pleasantly surprised at the ease of set-up. The additional security features, I didn't know I really needed, give me confidence today's adverse environment.

Description: Super quick set up, decided to use new wifi name and password so reconnecting all devices was a bit of a chore, but have had zero lag and zero downtime since setting it up.

Overall, a good router. One of the only electronic things I ever bought that actually worked out of the box. Installation and setup was very easy with the Nighthawk app from my Android tablet. I have not had to access the router as administrator, it actually worked fine, first time. I have a 1 Gbit service and I get that speed up and down. Fantastice coverage, I get good service in my backyard, garage, basement and driveway. A couple of small things prevented 5 stars -- first, if my internet service winks out for some reason, the router will not auto-recover, must be powered down for hard reset and second, if internet is out for any reason, the router will not work within our household AND I cannot access as admin either by Nighthawk app or via the common "192.168.1.1" or Netgear's "routerlogin.net".

Very Fast internet, easy to set up. Highly recommend Netgear routers and products.
