Title: A worthy upgrade Description: After several years our r7800 router finally needed to be replaced. The recommended replacement was the rs600 and I can't say enough positive things about it. The Wi-Fi coverage area is excellent and we've had no difficulty having all of our TVs connect by Wi-Fi and stream. No dead spots in our house. The 10 gig port handles our internet speed without difficulty. Setup was fast and easy and we were online within minutes of getting it out of the box. Highly recommend

Super easy to setup and use. Nighthawk walk’s you through the steps. I have owned other routers made by the company so would definitely recommend. The lifespan is good. My last one was around 10 years old. The shipping package was one of the best I have seen…totally shrink wrapped and properly packaged.

Very easy to setup. Handles all devices as advertised.

Worked out of the box for my Windows computers and Apple IPads. I live in a ranch style home and router reaches one end of home to the other. Easy setup instructions.
