Perfect Router for us - We bought this router for our son's apartment. It covers the sq. footage and device limit.

APRILBOct 24, 2026 · Verified purchase ★★★★☆

Great, other than the setup - The modem works great. I have had nighthawks for years and this one was the hardest to get up and running. It automatically put a VPN on my phone and had me in a different region. Other than that it has been good.

netgear RS100 Router - this was an upgrade from my old router that was outdated. It was a little time consuming only because of all the things we add to our internet. The instructions were very helpful. Remember to use the 2.4 ghz for the items that work better at that lower giga hertz.
