Our take on the Netgear Nighthawk RS300 BE9300

The Nighthawk RS300 is Netgear's entry-level Wi-Fi 7 router, a tri-band BE9300 unit with one 2.5GbE WAN port, four Gigabit LAN ports, USB and link aggregation. It covers the basics of Wi-Fi 7 (6 GHz, WPA3, multi-link operation) without the multi-Gig LAN and extra radios of the RS700 and RS1000. It suits households stepping up to Wi-Fi 7 on a Gigabit or 2.5GbE internet line who want strong single-router coverage rather than a mesh kit. Reviewers rate its throughput and stability well but note the single 2.5GbE port and limited LAN speed as the main gaps versus pricier Nighthawk models.

Questions and answers

Is the RS300 worth it over the RS700?
The RS300 covers the core Wi-Fi 7 features at a lower tier. The RS700 adds more multi-Gig ports and higher throughput, so choose it only if you have multi-Gig wired devices.
Does it support mesh?
It works with Netgear's Nighthawk mesh extenders, but it is sold as a single router, not a mesh kit.
How fast is the 6 GHz band?
The 6 GHz band is part of the BE9300 total and gives a clean, less congested channel for Wi-Fi 7 devices.
Can I use the USB port for a printer or drive?
Yes, the single USB port supports storage sharing and some printers, though transfer speeds are modest.
Does it work with older Wi-Fi devices?
Yes. It is backward compatible with Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5 and older devices on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
Is a 2.5GbE internet line supported?
Yes, the WAN port is 2.5GbE, so it can take full advantage of multi-Gig internet plans.
