Review: Great Router - Our RS500 replaces a Netgear XR500 that is no longer supported. WiFi connections to the XR500 were also beginning to exhibit connection issues and performance degradation. These problems have cleaned up with the RS500, which has no trouble delivering our ISP's 500Mbps up/down over WiFi and wired connections. Ping latency is 7ms with a wired connection and 9ms with a WiFi connection. Installation and setup was easy, and I preferred to use a web browser instead of the smartphone app. The RS500 supports 2.4Ghz, 5GHz and 6GHz WiFi channels, WiFi 7, and has a 2.5Gbps WAN port, one 2.5Gbps LAN port and three Gigabit LAN ports. One minor issue occurred during setup when it checked for a firmware update and reported that I had the latest firmware. After completing setup and signing in as admin, I found that the router firmware was not the most recent and needed an update. We've only been running the router for a few days now, but so far everything is stable and working well, with no hints of any functional or performance issues. I would definitely recommend the RS500, particularly at the currently available 25% discount price.
Review: small footprint, good connectivity with speed for the average person - For regular people sitting around the house watching TV even working from home with no drama or heavy data requirements, this is the answer. Getting that notification that your modem is so old that anyone can hack it? Get this. It is easy to install, has a very small footprint unlike those ones with wings and antennae sticking out all over. The bubble for coverage doesn't extend a mile out so someone parked down the street at the corner can hack into your system. And, drum roll please, its cheap vs most everything else. I give a big thumbs up. YOU have to register it completely online so it will send a signal to your unit to fully activate it. DO THIS. It isn't an optional thing.
