NEXT-GEN WIFI 7 FOR LESS

NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTGR), a global leader in secure and high-performance networking solutions, is making next-generation WiFi more accessible with the launch of the Nighthawk RS100—its most affordable WiFi 7 router yet. Delivering ultra-fast speeds, robust security, and reliable performance, the RS100 makes it easier than ever for households to upgrade to the latest in wireless technology.

Why WiFi 7 for Households?

As internet speeds surge and more smart devices connect to home networks, households need stronger, faster, and more reliable connectivity—not just for today, but for the future. WiFi 7 delivers smoother streaming, lag-free gaming, and more stable connections across every corner of the home. With speeds up to 2.4x faster than WiFi 6, it supports high-bandwidth activities like 4K/8K streaming, cloud gaming, and AI-powered applications—no buffering, no slowdowns.

“For nearly 30 years, we’ve been at the forefront of home networking, empowering families and businesses to stay ahead of the connectivity curve,” says Sandeep Harpalani, VP of Product Management at NETGEAR. “With the Nighthawk RS100, we’re delivering next-gen WiFi 7 speeds and industry-leading security at a price point that makes upgrading more accessible than ever.”

Stronger Security, Safer Browsing

Cyber threats continue to escalate, with home networks facing an average of 10 cyberattacks every 24 hours—and IoT devices like smart TVs, plugs, DVRs, and routers are among the most vulnerable. The RS100 is equipped with next-generation encryption, automatic firmware updates, VPN support, and cutting-edge WPA3 security. Access control and guest WiFi options help further secure your network.

For an added layer of protection, the RS100 includes a 30-day trial of NETGEAR Armor™ powered by Bitdefender, delivering real-time threat detection and AI-powered alerts for every connected device—no extra software required.

Your Data, Your Privacy

A recent study found that 67% of smartphone users worry about data security and privacy on their phones, and 62% of smart home users worry about the same on their smart home devices. NETGEAR addresses this concern head-on with a strict privacy policy: your personal data is never stored on NETGEAR servers. From browsing activity to device usage, your information stays under your control—so you can enjoy the benefits of a truly connected home without sacrificing peace of mind.

Simple Setup and Smart Parental Controls

Using the Nighthawk App, it’s easy to optimise your network for peak performance, test internet speeds, pause connectivity, monitor data usage, and configure guest networks—all from your smartphone. For families, the RS100 also includes NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls™, offering an intuitive way to create safer online experiences and manage screen time. Basic parental controls come free, with the option to upgrade to a Premium Plan after a 30-day trial.
