Review: Blimey. Where do I start. - Blimey. Where do I start. I’ve just retired my trusty old Netgear Nighthawk R8000 after many loyal years of service and replaced it with the shiny new Netgear Nighthawk RS500… and I feel like I’ve gone from driving a dependable old diesel estate to being handed the keys to a spaceship. The R8000 was a solid workhorse. Faithful. Dependable. Occasionally needed a stern look and the odd reboot when it got ideas above its station, but we understood each other. It did Wi-Fi. It did it well. It had little lights. We were content. The RS500, however, is something else entirely. Setup was suspiciously easy. I kept waiting for the usual networking faff, obscure settings, and the ritual sacrifice to the gods of DHCP. None of it happened. It just… worked. First time. Which frankly made me distrust it for a few minutes. The speed difference is absurd. Devices that used to wander onto the network like they were queuing politely at the Post Office now connect like they’ve seen the pub shut sign. Downloads are instant, streaming is flawless, and the house Wi-Fi coverage has gone from “fair to middling” to “blanket of invisible wizardry.” Rooms that previously required a small prayer and a specific stance near the doorframe now get full signal as if the router has taken it personally. Wi-Fi 7, as it turns out, is not marketing nonsense. It is witchcraft. Where the R8000 coped bravely with modern life, the RS500 positively thrives on it. Laptops, phones, tablets, smart TVs, smart plugs, and the assorted digital nonsense we all seem to own now — it doesn’t even blink. Everything runs flat out, all at once, without the slightest hint of sulking. And the stability. Oh, the stability. I used to know the exact facial expression my family wore when “the internet had gone funny again.” That face has not appeared once since installing this router. Peace has returned to the household. Even the admin interface feels like it was designed in this decade. Clear, fast, logical. No archaeological expedition required to find the settings you need. In short: this is not an incremental upgrade. This is a generational leap. If you’re sitting there with an older Nighthawk thinking, “mine still works fine”… yes, so did mine. And I had no idea how much better it could be until this turned up. Five stars. No hesitation. No regrets. And my only complaint is that I didn’t do this sooner.
Review: improved wifi - The router was easy to install and transfer existing wifi settings, My wifi coverage has increased dramatically within my home and I have now got a stable wifi connction through out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome after initially being frustrating
*by D***N on 8 October 2025*

I have been using Netgear Nighthawks for years and I love them. I received an email from Netgear telling me they were no longer supporting my last one, which I was annoyed about as I have only had it 2-3 years. However, it forced me into purchasing a new one. I bought this one from Amazon Warehouse for around £200, around half the price. The set up process was ridiculous using the app which I've never had a problem with before. It would intermittently work then stop working. I then accessed it through the web page, it downloaded an update the app didn't find, and everything worked perfectly! The difference between this and my last one is unreal. My speeds, connections and coverage are incredible and I couldn't be happier. Don't give up with the set up, but Netgear really need to look at the app and sort it out.
