NETGEAR Nighthawk RS100 WiFi 7 Router – Dual-Band, 3.6 Gbps, 2.5G Ethernet Port, 2,000 sq ft

Powerful WiFi 7 for a connected home

Meet the NETGEAR Nighthawk RS100, a router-only solution engineered to handle busy networks with the latest WiFi 7 technology. It delivers combined throughput up to 3.6 Gbps, offering a smoother experience for gaming, streaming in 4K, and video conferencing across households with multiple devices. This device is a router, not a modem, so you will pair it with a separate modem from your internet service provider.
