Customer Reviews Summary

Title: Huge upgrade from my old routerDescription: I bought the NETGEAR Nighthawk RS90 to replace the basic router from my internet provider, and the difference was noticeable right away. Setup through the Nighthawk app was pretty straightforward, and I had everything running in about 10 minutes.The Wi-Fi coverage in my home has been excellent so far. I’m getting strong signal in rooms that used to have weak or spotty Wi-Fi with my old router. Streaming, video calls, and regular browsing have all been smooth, even with multiple devices connected at the same time. The router supports Wi-Fi 7 speeds up to about 3.6 Gbps and can handle around 50 connected devices, which is more than enough for a typical household.Another thing I like is the 2.5-gig internet port, which helps take advantage of faster cable or fiber internet plans if you have them. The router also includes built-in security with NETGEAR Armor, which adds some extra peace of mind for all the devices on the network.Overall, if you’re upgrading from an older Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 router, this is a great step up without spending a fortune. It’s fast, reliable, and perfect for streaming, working from home, and running a house full of smart devices.Bottom line: Great performance, easy setup, and a solid upgrade from an old router. Very happy with it so far.
