Product guide

NETGEAR Nighthawk RS90-100NAS WiFi 7 Dual-Band Router

The NETGEAR Nighthawk RS90-100NAS is a dual-band WiFi 7 router rated for up to 3.6 Gbps and 2,000 sq. ft. of coverage. It connects to an existing modem or gateway over Ethernet, so it is a router rather than a modem-router combo. The listed range and speed are manufacturer claims, and actual performance depends on the home, internet plan and connected devices.

At a glance

WiFi 7 supports WiFi 6 and earlier devices, though full WiFi 7 speeds require a WiFi 7 client.
MU-MIMO and OFDMA are listed for handling traffic from multiple devices.
The Nighthawk app offers guided setup and network management. The listing also describes browser-based setup as an alternative.
Manufacturer claims coverage up to 2,000 sq. ft. and support for up to 50 registered devices. Walls, floors and interference can reduce range.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Performance and coverage figures are manufacturer claims, not guaranteed results. The listed 50-device figure refers to devices that can register to the network, while simultaneous connections depend on usage and bandwidth. Some modem-router gateways may need bridge mode. Active internet is required for app management, though the listing says setup can also be done in a browser. The feature text says the app is optional, while the controls field lists App. The listing also gives a 1× 2.5G plus 4× Gigabit port configuration in an item highlight, but its technical details only specify four ports and 1000 Mbps LAN bandwidth. Check the selected listing for the port configuration before buying.

Customer feedback often praises setup ease, speed and home coverage, with some reporting better throughput and reception across the house. These are reported experiences, not guaranteed outcomes, and the listing itself cautions that speeds and range vary with devices, plan and surroundings. Connectivity and app experiences are mixed, so buyers who need consistently stable connections or rely on app management should weigh that uncertainty.

Mixed feedback

Reports about connection stability vary, including intermittent disconnections.
App functionality receives mixed feedback.

Frequently asked questions

Does the RS90-100NAS include a modem?

No. The listing describes a standalone router that connects to an existing modem or gateway over Ethernet.

Will older WiFi devices work with this router?

The listing says it is backward compatible with WiFi 6 and earlier devices. Full WiFi 7 speeds require a WiFi 7 device.

Can I set it up without the Nighthawk app?

The listing says browser-based setup is possible and the app is optional. Active internet is required for app setup and management.

What coverage should I expect?

NETGEAR claims up to 2,000 sq. ft., but walls, floors and interference can reduce range. Treat this as a maximum claim rather than guaranteed coverage.
