Just did this - 7 people, 3 floors. Went through a few mesh systems (tplink be4800, be5000, XE75). Hated the way mesh worked, walked to another room device would hang on the further node and online games were choppier (higher ping and latency) than a single nighthawk (even had wired backhaul from ma

Whatever you do, avoid the Netgear Nighthawk RS300 Wi-Fi 7 - unless you enjoy daily (throughout the entire day) intermittent internet disconnects, Wi-Fi lag, etc. Purchased in March, worked without issues for about a month - just a few days past the 30-day free tech support window After that, discon

Which Netgear Nighthawk router do you have?What does he get with the ethernet wired to the netgear, then ethernet connected from router to the modem? I've got the Netgear Nighthawk RS700 and get 1.2gbs on my iphone 17 from 2 rooms over or a floor below. I tested 3 other mesh options and kept coming

In an effort to increase my wifi range I tested a few tplink mesh systems and went through netgear nighthawk RS300, RS500 and RS700. The RS300 was terrible, slow, range was worse than my last router (RAX70). I ended up returning it and tried an RS500 which was much better, in the end a refurbed RS70

I just bought a Netgear Nighthawk BE9300 (aka: RS300) and was wondering the same thing since we found out that Chinese Routers "might" be hard coded with Malware and or Trojans. Although if mine was infected, I would think that it would affect the speed of my WiFi and Ethernet connected devices, but

I've chosen a Netgear Nighthawk RS300 as I had a good price in EU, it is a wifi 7 router but a wifi 6E will be enough for the Quest 3. As mentionned above, it will work best when ised only for VR and not in a crowded area, this is where the 6Ghz band is preferred. I've set up my router in access poi

Seconding this: Netgear Nighthawk RS300 on the top floor of a 3 floor 5,000sqft house, almost centrally located near the ceiling, and I have Wi-Fi throughout the house. I am planning on locating an AP out in the attached garage with hardwire backhaul and a 2nd AP further out in a large outbuilding,

In the last few months I’ve gone from the Xfinity gateway, to TP link archer, to netgear nighthawk RS300, to now the ubiquiti ucg-max + u7 AP. Through all this testing, my desire for maximum network customization has increased substantially. For this, ubiquiti is in a league of their own. By far the

Well my house with including basement is like 3200sq ft and we have PCs down there wirelessly connected to the network too. The RS500 was $299 brand new, the RS700 refurb was $349. So no brainer with the better specs to stick with the 700. I got them both and tested a few things, signal strength at
