Amazon is offering the NETGEAR Nighthawk RS500 router at its lowest price to date with a 25% discount on its original MSRP. The RS500 offers Wi-Fi 7 speeds of up to 12Gbps across the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands, with the 6GHz band offering reduced interference and improved performance.
Powered by a quad-core 2.0GHz processor and enhanced by technologies such as MU-MIMO and both uplink and downlink OFDMA, the router should maintain strong performance even when multiple devices are active at once.
The RS500 allows up to 120 connected devices, and its six internal antennas and high-power amplifiers provide Wi-Fi coverage of up to 3,000 sq. ft. The router also includes a 2.5GbE Internet port for broadband plans up to 2.5Gbps, a 2.5GbE LAN port, and three additional Gigabit Ethernet ports. Moreover, a USB 3.0 port is also available for file sharing within the network.
Security and network management tools include NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls and NETGEAR Armor powered by Bitdefender, which offers real-time protection against online threats across all devices on the network. Additional safeguards include WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 security protocols with 128-bit AES encryption, an SPI firewall, access control to prevent unauthorised connections, automatic firmware updates, and VPN support for secure remote access.
Finally, users can set up and manage the router through the Nighthawk app, which offers tools such as speed testing, data usage monitoring, device management, and guest network control.
