In the past 18 months we’ve seen a succession of Wi-Fi 7 routers from Netgear. First came the top-tier Nighthawk RS700S (see issue 353, p76), with a steep launch price of £800; sensing that this might be beyond the budget of most upgraders, the company followed up with more affordable RS300 and RS200 models, costing (neatly enough) £300 and £200 respectively. The latest arrival is the cheapest model yet, and though Netgear hasn’t quite got the price down to a round ton, at £130 it’s still aggressively inexpensive.
