Netgear Nighthawk RS300 (BE9300) Tri-Band WiFi 7 Router

Updated experience on bottom

Initial review: Jumping from wifi 5 directly to wifi 7!

This is most affordable wifi 7 router now. Yep expensive but worth it. Never seen steady jump to 937mbps(download)/548mbps(upload) in a mobile device in wifi 7 using 6ghz!. Massive difference to the routers you get from ISP. It's neat Tri Band manageable and controllable from their mobile app.
All devices connected and really improved the latency and response.

Netgear armor powered by bit defender is kind of good but it's a separate subscription purchase and it's expensive. You get 30days to try it out and see whether you need it or not. Without a anti-virus on pc it can protect from router level.

So now finally you can fully utilize the expensive fibre plan you had for years.

Some old google home devices started working bcos better channel utilization.
With tri band iam using all the 3 bands 2.4, 5 and 6 ghz separately.

UPDATE: After around 3 to 4 months now, I see an issue with this router. Say 2 months later- wifi broadcast just disappeared while landing connection works and internet works fine. Only way is factory reset and then go through all setup again which is quite annoying. Once sets up then it works for next 1 month until wifi trouble comes again amd repeat the process. It's on latest firmware and when searched online found several customers have same problem. It can be hardware or firmware issue. Thinking to replace and see if it works or not.

It was very positive on first month of use and now not at all good anymore.

First unit, the wifi transmission completely failed after about 3 days. Pb tech were brilliant to deal with- replaced it with no hassles. Second unit works so far, but the wifi internet stutters sometimes, cuts in and out for a second. Very annoying when gaming. When it is working, it works well, speeds of around 900mps off LAN. Very fast wifi, pages load instantly. Good coverage, we don't need extenders anymore. I spent ages on the phone with netgear help desk about the issues, but they can't fix it. Just seems to have teething issues being a new model. Will have to return this one if the problems persist. Model is RS300. First unit, the wifi transmission completely failed after about 3 days.
