NETGEAR®, a leading provider of innovative and secure solutions for people to connect and manage their digital lives, has expanded its WiFi 7 standalone router line with the addition of the new Nighthawk RS300 router.
NETGEAR’s most affordable WiFi 7 products to date build on the company’s promise of delivering strong WiFi performance and secure connections.
WiFi 7 delivers 2.4x faster speeds than WiFi 6, provides lower latency, and better handles WiFi interference, allowing families to seamlessly enjoy next-generation 4K/8K streaming, video conferencing, gaming, and more. Since the launch of NETGEAR’s first WiFi 7 products, the Nighthawk RS700 and Orbi 970, multi-gig internet speeds have become more affordable, work-from-home demand has remained steady, and more devices require extremely low latency and high throughput, including AR/VR headsets and AI-focused platforms like CoPilot+.
As WiFi 7 adoption grows and new generations of smartphones, laptops and other devices rapidly hit the market, IoT threats also increase, making router security at the device level essential to protecting our digital lives and homes.
Powerful Performance, Incredible Value – Nighthawk RS300
The Nighthawk RS300 tri-band router introduces ultra-fast WiFi 7, delivering speeds up to 9.3Gbps.[1] For the budget-conscious but tech-loving user, the sleek new body and patented omnidirectional internal antenna design improve coverage, deliver the farthest signal reach, and provide up to 2,500 square feet of WiFi coverage for up to 100 devices.
The 2.5 Gig internet port gives everyone in your home access to the latest multi-gig internet speeds, while an additional 2.5 Gig and two 1 Gig LAN ports can be used for high-speed wired connections for latency-intolerant devices like gaming PCs and game consoles.
Rest assured with cutting-edge security
Home network devices experience an average of 10 attacks on the home network every 24 hours.[2]That’s why it’s important to protect your digital life starting with your router. Equipped with cutting-edge encryption protocols and advanced threat detection mechanisms, NETGEAR routers act as your first line of defense against evolving cyber threats, with security features such as automatic firmware updates, VPN support, cutting-edge WPA3 security, access control, and guest WiFi network options.
For added protection, Nighthawk RS300 includes a 30-day trial of NETGEAR Armor™ Powered by Bitdefender, which automatically provides security to connected devices and enhances privacy with a VPN. Unlike traditional endpoint antivirus products, Armor is built into the router as an all-in-one security solution, protecting computers, security cameras, baby monitors, and other IoT devices on your network, eliminating the need for multiple security subscriptions and software.
