NETGEAR - Nighthawk RS300 (BE9300)

I just upgraded to Spectrum Gig and updated my older Nighthawk to a WiFi 7 Nighthawk RS300 (Be9300). So far so good.

On 6ghz, at least in the eu. Nothing to write home about, NA probably okey. 2.4(mostly iot now) and 5ghz nothing has really changed recently range wise. The 9300 (the eu equivalent)had some sort of quirk why we couldn't use it in our laptop testing station. But it's not something that would apply to home usage. For the average user it's very overpowered though. And it being a Netgear it will probably come with Netgear issues. So check the web for that.

I recently returned a Netgear Nighthawk RS300 because the UI was quite underwhelming and it lacked isolated vlan capabilities. After some research I replaced it with a Ubiquiti Dream Router 7, which was a lot better, but unlike the RS300, the internal wifi antennas barely cover half my apt, and wiring APs all over the place is not an option. Are there any consumer/prosumer grade wifi routers with great coverage and isolated vlan capabilities? Are there any other home network setups I should consider? What are my options here? The use case is basically that I'm a paranoid dumb-dumb who don't trust my robot duster (or human guests) on my home network, and my girlfriend needs instagram while she's on the shitter, which is "conveniently" situated on the diametrically opposite side of the apartment from the router.

I decided to go with the cheaper RS300. Will see how it goes.

I originally bought the Nighthawk as it was on sale locally but the router didn't work well with my Pico. It would periodically have long freezes on Wifi. I returned it for the Be550 and it's worked wonders ever since. Would the extra bandwidth on the be800 be worth the increase if I could get that for a discount as well? Or would it not make a difference for Pico wireless PCVR?

Almost went with this but the WIFI 7 Netgear Nighthawk was less than half the price so I went with that. 1 2.5gig port for desktop, one for laptop. It's awesome

Not everyone wants to shell out $500 for a wifi-7 nighthawk though. Seems redundant when the one provided for free runs the same frequencies and allows full wifi control with 250 simultaneous devices compared to nighthawks 50 devices.

i've had nothing but problems with my net gear wi-fi 7, after few weeks stuff buffers for split second, social media doesn't load immediately, i also have the net gear wi-fi 6 AX5400 router and works fine. seems walmarts website also has allot of complaints about wi-fi 7, and seeing that you actually have to have devices that use wi-fi 7, which technically none do, im going back to wi-fi 6, ether a new net gear router from amazon or MSI gaming routers or something.

I got a $110 wifi 7 Netgear router from Walmart. It works fine with my Spectrum cable modem.

Take their free modem, put a surge protector on the incoming coax, buy a router of your own. I got a wifi 7 Netgear at Walmart for $110. Get whatever bandwidth you can afford, as it sounds like you'll be using it. When/ if Spectrum brings fiber, it's their equipment they'll replace, not yours.

I had the same problem spectrum came to my crib tried to hook everything up couldnt figure it out so he left the new wifi 7 router in the box and hooked up a wifi6e router..after i hooked it up myself when i got home from work and was very disappointed. I went and bought the new netgear wifi 7 router and with my 1Gig Internet i pulled 1134mbps..
