Smooth Sailing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, so great!
I have had zero problems with my new Netgear Nighthawk BE6500, it delivers Wi-Fi to all parts of my house, and I have no connectivity issues. I am using gigabit-speed internet, and it supplies this service to my devices effectively. I am likely to buy NETGEAR products again in the future.

Easy to install
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had only one problem when installing the Nighthawk. I put the ethernet cord for the computer connection in the wrong slot. After fixing that, I have had no concerns at all. All devices on the Wifi are working well.

Older Nighthawk Replacement
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our previous unit functioned problem free, however it had aged out of support. Based upon our experience we opted for another Nighthawk. Again, another great unit.
Thank you.

Better than expected
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to upgrade my router since I was forced to replace my modem so I went with this not sure how it would do. Well let me tell you I had an older Nighthawk, AC3200 WiFi 6 Router (R8000) and this new WiFi 7 router totally blows it out of the water even though the new one is considered by some as an entry level WiFi 7 router.
I am completely satisfied with my purchase. The signal is much more powerful. I had trouble getting WiFi in the garage for my WiFi door opener with the old one. I was only getting speeds between 20 and 80 mbs with the old one and the new one I am getting between 540 and 590ish and I only pay for 500mbs through my internet provider.
I love this router. You can't go wrong with a Nighthawk.

Lots more than a regular WiFi
Impressive device. I was just looking to replace my old WiFi. Wow, all the features and the app control was awesome. I was able create a guest WiFi in just a few minutes even though I never thought of setting one up.

Good home device
As a recent purchase, it's been operating great for the week it has been running. Netgear's support was a great help as there 10 year old and new devices on our home network. Seriously improved network speed

Fantastic Router for the value
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from a Wifi 5 ASUS to the nighthawk RS200, and it's a fantastic experience. The UI is clean, the setup was quick and easy, and by changing to my previous SSID I didn't have to re-configure any of my devices. So far, I've really enjoyed the router and have had zero issues with it.

Almost Perfect
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I expected it to have everything my previous Nighthawk had and the Newer features. It did have newer features but it doesn't have the ability to set you QoS. I hate that

Way way better then xfinity router
Just installed it a week ago. Day and night difference in speed vs my original xfinity equipment. I was getting 350 per second on original and this is consitantly mid 900 .. very easy to install. Just step by step. About 15-20 minute install
