Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router (RS140) - Router Only, BE5000 Wireless Speed (up to 5.0 Gbps) - Covers up to 2,250 sq. ft., 80 Devices - 2.5 Gig Internet Port – Free Expert Help

I spent some time doing research on both modems and routers, including speaking with several IT professionals. I ended up landing on this Nighthawk after many recommendations. This router was a breeze to set up and paired perfectly with my new Motorola B12 cable modem. The step by step instructions in the app made it very easy; the performance and user-friendly experience is really nice. You can easily view all devices connected to the network, configure a separate guest network, run a Speedtest directly from the modem, and more. 2.4 and 5 GHz are automatically configured based on the devices connected. I used the same SSID / Login/ network name from my previous WiFi router and all devices connected seamlessly to the new Nighthawk. I am very pleased with the purchase!

I did not want to pay the monthly fee for a router so I did some research on the best preforming routers. The NETGEAR Nighthawk Wi-Fi 7 RS140 router was the one I chose. I am so pleased with its performance and area it covers. It’s very easy to setup and performance is great. I would highly recommend this product.

Bought this to replace a 15 year old 1st gen Nighthawk router. Anything was going to be an improvement. But this was easy to connect, a decent price, and the speed increase was great.

So i'm giving it 4 stars because there is some uncertainty between whether my issues I'm having are coming specifically from my router, or if the programs I'm running over my network are actually routing out through my internet and back in through my modem because of my VPN doing weird stuff. i tried pausing my VPN and running some LAN Games, but even when I'm almost positive I'm running strictly LAN based programs, it's having latency issues. Maybe it's not picking up a Firmware update or something, or maybe it's the model I'm using has issues, but it's beyond the return date. it normally seems to work great. but my internet is also a Verizon Modem in Bridge Mode running off the local Cell Towers and the Cell Tower occasionally has some issues. i am glad the new model has a small footprint on top of my desk compared to the previous model i used which was a 6 antenna Spider that took up the space a little bigger than a generic frisbee. it does also have some tiny mounting screw holes on the bottom that I'm tempted to 3D print a mounting plate so i cam hang it up high on the wall, but it doe not have it's own equipment for mounting to a wall or ceiling which was a downside compared to the previous model i had. the older models had Screw Hole / Hooks, for easy wall mounting. i am glad i can easily see the lights on it on the front though. the older model had the lights "on top" so if you had them flat on a Desk Hutch at the top of the desk, you couldn't see the lights unless you took it down or had it mounted to a wall.

Love the vertical space saving design. Netgear has been a brand I had in the past and one other brand. They are superior to other brand I have had. Easy install and I am a 73 year old female. Not plug and play but easy to use their unit with some on line guidance. My 2000sq foot home is so happy in all locations with the output power. The minimum model unit I would suggest and any Nighthawk Netgear unit higher will serve you well too. The unit you need is picked by number of devices used and size of home. A strong buy suggestion. I am supplying WIFI to a smart TV with little lag on streams, 2 PC's, 2 smart phones and one print server supplying printing everywhere in home. It also has a guest log in to protect your personal data if you have guests in the home. Very happy.

DO NOT BUY!! I’m having nothing but problems. Dropped Wi-Fi, having to reset password after each dropped Wi-Fi, failure to reach full coverage of house of under 1500 sq ft when it states over 2200 sq ft of coverage, constantly, resetting unit, difficult to set up, unable to connect laptop to Wi-Fi after repeated attempts, ring doorbell Wi-Fi is dropped repeatedly, constantly having to reset and add new password. Tv continues to drop Wi-Fi and having to re-enter password to reconnect. We had to connect TV to the 2nd internet WiFi that is in an outdoor building to work. Unreal. I thought it was my internet but an older, cheaper, router still works far better. There is a YouTube channel that describes all these issues and more with this model. Please, check it out. Worst Wi-Fi router ever!!

I replaced the Ziply supplied router and what a difference. My tv now has great signal in my shop. I did have some issues with some older 2.4 Ghz equipment getting it connected. Great speeds. This solved my problems.

I got tired of paying WI-FI router fees, so did some research on best preforming routers and the NETGEAR Nighthawk Wi-Fi 7 router was the one I chose. I am so pleased with the chose I made. It’s very easy to setup and performance is optimual, even customer support and technical support was great. I would highly recommend this product.
