Good Wi-Fi Router in 2026. Any recommendation?

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

Scanning for Malware

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

Tried the Quest 3 with a cable and Meta Link software. Do I need to try Virtual Desktop?

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

Google nest mesh or something else?

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,

Rec for Router

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

Netgear RS500 - Sluggish & slower than my 4 year old R6700AX router!

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

How to increase?

Even the cheaper Mesh systems without wired backhaul will suffer. You could go with a really expensive Deco system that has good wireless backhaul but you're looking at $800-1000. I have a 3500 sq ft house. Went through 3 deco (be4800, be5000, xe75pro) systems, Netgear nighthawks (rs300, 500, 700),

Router with best buy

I tried the BE9300, wasn't happy with it. I ended up buying a refurb RS700S. The RS300 didn't have the push to get the internet across my house but its 3500sq ft. Even the corners where signal strength was like 60% are 90+ now. The Netgear Nighthawk RS700S is a beast of a router!

Router for 2000 Mbps download

I recently upgraded to the Netgear Nighthawk RS600 bit overkill but I got it from amazon prime day deals for $494, Works as intended no issues. Since your going for something smaller the RS300 should be good, comes with 2.5g Wan port for the new tier speeds, 2x 2.5g and 2x 1g lan ports if you ever n

FiOS vs Optimum (Nassau)

Netgear nighthawk rs300 should handle like 60 devices and the models after that are if there’s more bandwidths usage. But this thing’s WiFi 7 and future proof for the next few years
