NETGEAR Nighthawk RS300 WiFi 7 Router

Model details

Additional useful information

This guide identifies NETGEAR Nighthawk RS300 WiFi 7 Router as RS300 standalone Nighthawk router, not an Orbi kit. It documents Wi-Fi 7, BE9300 class, One 2.5GbE Internet, two 2.5GbE LAN, two 1GbE LAN and one USB 3.0 port. Use the linked manufacturer instructions for initial setup, recovery and model-specific compatibility before adding nodes, cabling or replacement power hardware.

This page covers NETGEAR Nighthawk RS300 WiFi 7 Router exactly: RS300 standalone Nighthawk router, not an Orbi kit. Wi-Fi 7, BE9300 class simultaneous 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands; tri-band radios with 320MHz and Multi-Link Operation for supported clients. One 2.5GbE Internet, two 2.5GbE LAN, two 1GbE LAN and one USB 3.0 port. 12V DC, 3.5A adapter.

Configure the system with the Nighthawk app and router web interface. connect the kit's router component to the modem or upstream gateway and follow the Orbi or Nighthawk app flow for that family, then synchronize the included satellites. It is a standalone router/access point; mesh expansion requires an explicitly supported NETGEAR architecture and is not inferred from Orbi naming. Do not attach Orbi satellites based only on NETGEAR brand; use only RS300 features and extenders named in its current support material. NETGEAR kit numbers encode a specific router and satellite count, so use the component identities here when adding a satellite or replacing a unit; a nearby RBK, MK or CBK number can describe different radios and ports.

If the Internet link or a satellite fails, check modem/SIM/coax service as applicable, WAN cabling, adapter labels and satellite sync LEDs, then restart components in topology order before resetting. Press the recessed reset control until the documented LED state appears; factory reset removes the component from the system and requires setup/synchronization again. 6GHz, 320MHz and Wi-Fi 7 operation depend on local rules, firmware and client support. NETGEAR's support page still provides downloads and documentation as of the review date; subscriptions, sale status and warranty vary by region. Update router and satellite firmware as a matched system before diagnosing backhaul. For replacement power or networking parts, confirm the label voltage/current and port speed on the exact component, not only the kit number.
