Title: Reliable WIFI router highly recommended!
Review: I have been looking for a solid wifi router for my home internet and found this RS700S router from Netgear. After careful considerations of customer review where there are less 1 or 2 star reviews compared to similar wifi router and overall high review and product spec I thought I would try this router. Well, I am glad that I did choose this router. Signal is fast and strong covering my home, app is easy to manage the rouer. This router does great job and I am satisfied. I highly recommend this router.

Title: Seamless Setup and Superior Coverage
Review: Here's a review for the NetGear NIGHTHAWK WiFi 7 Router:---I recently upgraded to the NetGear NIGHTHAWK WiFi 7 Router, and I am thrilled with the results. The setup process was incredibly easy and straightforward, taking only a few minutes to get everything up and running. Additionally, the router arrived quickly thanks to the fast shipping.One of the standout features of this router is its impressive range. Unlike my previous setup, which required multiple WiFi extenders, the NIGHTHAWK WiFi 7 covers my entire home effortlessly. The range on all three channels is significantly better, providing strong and consistent connectivity throughout every room.Another great aspect of this router is its cooler operating temperatures. It runs much cooler than my old router, which is a huge plus for long-term reliability and performance.Overall, I highly recommend the NetGear NIGHTHAWK WiFi 7 Router to anyone in need of a robust and reliable WiFi solution. The only downside is that I wish the accompanying app offered more advanced features. However, this minor drawback does not overshadow the overall excellent performance and coverage provided by this router.

Title: Best of the Best
Review: This router has never failed nor has I had to restart it for any reason. Yes indeed it is expensive but on the very same note, is very well worth it's price tag. I am so very excited that I dived in and made the purchase. Now, router wise I can say that I am set for the future. I'm using the 10G port to run my Linksys router as a sub router or secondary router and it works flawless. I have mine mounted on the wall using the Netgear wall mount which looks amazing. I have this unit paired with the Nighthawk CM2000 cable modem, a perfect match. The cool thing I like about this router is being able to use the app to control it from wherever I'm at, which means no you don't have to be tied down to your wifi in order to control this router. Love how cool it runs which makes me feel it will be around for some time. So far I only have like 26 devices connected through it excluding my Linksys router. This router is a must have if you are in the market for a new router. If not, it's a got to have. My streaming doesn't interfere with my large downloads and web surfing. One of the stand out features of this router to me is the ability to separate band by device. 2.4G, 5G etc. I simply can't say enough good things about this product. One thing I will say, if you are by chance having trouble with it, look elsewhere because this product is aimed to please. Something else that I like about this router is that it comes complete with a year of security which makes this an even more fabulous buy. The only con I came across this far is not having this unit sooner. It feels great to know that my service provider is no longer robbing me of the speed that I am paying for. I'm getting every drop of it now. Though I don't have a 3,500 square foot home, it's still good to know that this router will cover such distance. I have also noticed a difference when playing Gran Turismo, it seems much faster in my favor, because even when.I pull over to allow other players to pass me, I always regain the lead again. Even streaming seems even more clear and so much like natural TV. I'm heading into a month of using this router and it's still working just like the very first day of use. Money very well spent and not wasted. Again I will say, you get what you pay for.

Title: Wi-Fi seven router.
Review: So far not much really bad to say about it. It works good speeds and steady connection to the net maybe not worth $700 though

Title: Shipping took forever but router is great
Review: This took way too long to get in. Just over 2 weeks to arrive. The signal strength is great though and it works really well. Super simple and easy process in the iOS app. You will need to download it for setup of this router. It does not come working out of the box for a quick connect and go, but the app does make it easy and whole process took about 10-20 minutes.

Review: Rendimiento:Tenía un AP Unifi AP AC Pro y todo mejoró estrepitosamente, rango en la misma planta, velocidad de respuesta de conexión de todos los dispositivos. La cámara que tengo en la entrada emite de inmediato la imagen, antes demoraba unos segundos, pese a que es de 2.4ghzEstabilidad:No es necesario reiniciar el router, trabaja sin problemas todo el tiempo. Sólo recomiendo que en los celulares se deshabilite la opción de MAC address aleatoria, tal como lo indica Netgear.Estética:Es un poco grande, pero es muy bonito, combina con cualquier decoración, eso en comparación con las arañas gamer que tienen las antenas externas.Precio:Si vale la pena si quieres lo mejor del momento, por lo menos debería ser útil la tecnología hasta dentro de 5 años, sin embargo, creo que hay opciones nuevas con rendimiento aceptable a menos por menos de la mitad de precio.Conclusión: Actualizando firmware y configurando todo debidamente es un excelente router.

Review: funciono solamente por cerca de dos horas y su cobertura y velociddad, sobresaliente. Después, simplemente se apago para no volver a encender. Iniciamos la devolución por tal motivo.
