Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router (RS100) – Security Features, BE3600 Wireless Speed (up to 3.6 Gbps) - Covers up to 1,500 sq. ft., 50 Devices – 2.5 Gig Internet Port

This is one of many Netgear products I have bought over the years. I am never disappointed, and they are always good value for money, performing exactly as described or better. This router is no different. I bought it to replace a recalcitrant older router of another make which I had spent almost a day trying to get to connect to my new fibre connection. This one went straight in, using a mobile app, no problems - I should have bought this first and done something more useful with the wasted time! I would recommend this!

Easy set up and customise to your home needs . Perfect for a typical 2 up and down UK home

I bought the NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi 7 Router (RS100), and overall it’s been a solid upgrade for my home network. I wanted something faster and more reliable, and it definitely delivers on that. The first thing I noticed was how quick and straightforward the setup was. I had everything up and running without much hassle, and the connection has been stable since. In terms of performance, the speed and coverage are very good. It handles multiple devices without slowing down, and I have had consistent signal across the house. Streaming, browsing, and general use all feel smooth. I also like the overall design and build quality, it feels like a proper, well made piece of tech rather than something cheap. The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that while performance is strong, some of the advanced features and settings can feel a bit limited or not as user-friendly as expected. It works great out of the box, but if you like more control, it could be better. Also, for the price, I would have liked just a bit more in terms of flexibility or extra features. That said, it’s still a reliable, fast, and easy to use router that does the job well for most everyday needs, at this price point it offers great value froma reputable brand.

My wife ordered this following an email from Netgear which stated our current router was no longer going to be updated and that we needed this new one. Perhaps I should mention my wife has Alzheimer’s. It was not until this arrived that it clicked that our old router was NOT a netgear one and that this netgear recommended one was not compatible with our setup.

It does basics well. The admin interface could use some polishing.

Excellent

Bought this to replace the Vodafone supplied router as it was a bit underwhelming with its Wi-Fi range, speeds, and buggy firmware. With Vodafone you will need to ask them for your PPPoE username and password. The Netgear RS100 appealed to me as it was relatively cheap (does not have 6GHz Wi-Fi), from a reputable brand with decent support / firmware updates. It works really well, my broadband speeds are 500/70 which is what the Vodafone supplied router got but the RS100 is more consistent (using ethernet cable and over Wi-Fi) and web browsing feels more responsive. My PlayStation 5 also works really well with UPNP working as expected. If you want a no nonsense router that is affordable you cant go wrong with this, just make sure it is what you need as it doesn't support mesh networks (meaning for good coverage throughout your entire home you need to place it somewhere central), and lacks 6GHz Wi-Fi. The most interesting feature though is you can also disable the LED lights from blinking when there is network activity :-)

We bought this to replace an ISP-provided ZTE router. It was simple to set-up and greatly improved our WiFi coverage. It works extremely well with our Netgear EAX 80, giving an effective and easily managed Mesh system at a very reasonable price. The system has “Armor Now” additional security at an additional price for those who feel they need that protection, but this is simple to disable for those who don’t need/want it.
