It broadcasts three bands at once (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) for combined speeds up to 9.3 Gbps*, covers up to 2,500 sq. ft., and keeps up to 100 devices connected at the same time. If your current router is the reason a gigabit plan feels slow over WiFi, this is the upgrade that removes the bottleneck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the third band matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost routers split every phone, TV, camera, and laptop across two bands. The RS300 adds a 6 GHz band with extra-wide 320 MHz channels, which works like an open express lane for your newest devices. Less crowding on the other two bands means steadier video calls, smoother 4K streaming, and lower lag in games, even when the whole household is online. WiFi 7 is about 2.4x faster than WiFi 6, and the RS300 stays fully backward compatible with older WiFi devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMulti-gig wired ports\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlug your modem or gateway into the 2.5 Gig internet port and the router can pass along plans faster than 1 Gbps. Two 2.5 Gig LAN ports and two Gigabit LAN ports handle gaming PCs, consoles, NAS drives, and smart TVs, and a USB 3.0 port lets you share a drive across your home network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorks with any internet provider\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS300 is a standalone router, so it connects by Ethernet to the modem or gateway you already have. It works with cable, fiber, DSL, and satellite service, with no coax connection needed. If your provider's gateway has its own built-in WiFi, you may need to put it in bridge mode first.

Advanced settings are available in a web browser at routerlogin.net. WPA3 encryption, automatic firmware updates, and guest WiFi are built in. A 30-day trial of NETGEAR Armor is included, and the optional subscription is not required to use the router.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"mg-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRS300 (BE9300)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWiFi standard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiFi 7 (802.11be), tri-band\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBand speeds*\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.4 GHz: 0.7 Gbps \/ 5 GHz: 2.9 Gbps \/ 6 GHz: 5.8 Gbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCoverage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 2,500 sq. ft.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDevices\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInternet port\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x 2.5 Gig\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLAN ports\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 2.5 Gig, 2 x Gigabit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUSB\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 x USB 3.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProcessor and memory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuad-core 2.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 512 MB flash\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAntennas\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 internal, high-power amplifiers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSecurity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWPA3, guest WiFi, VPN, automatic updates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNETGEAR Nighthawk RS300 WiFi 7 router\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEthernet cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12V\/3.5A power adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the RS300 include a modem?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is a router only, so you need a separate modem or provider gateway with an Ethernet port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need WiFi 7 devices to use it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. WiFi 6, WiFi 5, and older devices connect normally.
