Netgear Nighthawk RS700S (WiFi 7)
A pro-tier WiFi 7 router rated for throughput up to 19 Gbps, positioned as a benchmark-topping flagship. Its appeal is raw speed leadership rather than being a balanced all-rounder. Best for households or studios with multi-gig internet and many demanding clients that can actually exploit WiFi 7; skip it for budget networks where the bandwidth would go to waste.
