NETGEAR has introduced the Nighthawk RS100, its most affordable WiFi 7 router to date, bringing the latest in wireless performance to homes at a far more accessible price. Designed for families and tech enthusiasts looking to upgrade their home networks, the RS100 offers faster speeds, stronger security, and greater reliability without breaking the bank.
As internet speeds continue to rise and households become increasingly dependent on connected devices, the need for a robust and future-proof router has never been greater. The RS100 delivers speeds of up to 3.6Gbps, making it ideal for demanding activities such as 4K and 8K streaming, online gaming, content creation and video conferencing. Built with WiFi 7 technology, it provides 1.2 times faster performance than WiFi 6, ensuring reliable connectivity even in homes with multiple users and high-bandwidth applications.
To complement its impressive speed, the RS100 is equipped with a 2.5GbE WAN port, future proofing your connection with support for high-speed internet plans and ensuring a smooth experience for gaming, streaming, and smart home devices. Additionally, four 1GbE LAN ports allow users to connect wired devices for an even more stable performance. With a powerful antenna array, the router provides coverage up to 185 square meters, ensuring a strong and consistent signal throughout the home. Capable of handling up to 50 devices simultaneously, the RS100 is built to accommodate the growing number of smart TVs, security cameras, and home automation systems that rely on stable internet connections.
Security remains a top priority, and NETGEAR has integrated features such as WPA3 encryption, VPN support, and automatic firmware updates to protect against multiple levels of cyber threats. With home networks experiencing an average of 10 cyberattacks per day, the RS100 includes a 30-day trial of NETGEAR Armor™ powered by Bitdefender, providing real-time threat detection and AI-driven alerts across all connected devices.
User privacy is also at the forefront, with NETGEAR ensuring that no personal data is stored on its servers. All browsing activity and device usage remain under the user’s control, offering peace of mind in an era of increasing digital surveillance.
The Nighthawk RS100 is easy to set up and manage through the Nighthawk App, which allows users to monitor their network, test internet speeds, configure guest Wi-Fi, and set up smart parental controls to manage screen time and online access for children.
Available now for $259, the Nighthawk RS100 can be purchased through NETGEAR.com/au and major retailers.
