Netgear launches affordable Nighthawk RS600 Wi-Fi 7 router with solid performance

Netgear has launched the Nighthawk RS600, a mid-range Wi-Fi 7 router priced at $500, which offers good performance for its cost. It features advanced technology like 4K QAM and ultra-wide data channels, but lacks complete firmware and has limited support options. The RS600 covers up to 3,300 square feet and connects with up to 150 devices. While it performs well at mid-range distances, it is not the fastest option available. It is designed to be more affordable than higher-end models, making it a competitive choice. Setup is straightforward via the Netgear app, but additional features like security require annual fees. Despite its limitations, the RS600 provides a solid option for families needing reliable Wi-Fi without the high price tag.
