Easy Peasy!!!!!!!! - This is a review of using the NETGEAR 8 Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Essentials Switch (GS308EP) to allow me to switch from an old router to the NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router (RS140) with no down time for my care receivers. Super simple. Was able to plug it in to 120v, unplug the router from the modem, plug this into the modem, then plug the router into this NETGEAR switch and WHILE 'Sling' was streaming with only about a five second pause in streaming and then it continued. After than I was able to use an open port on the switch to plug in the NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router RS140 and spend about 20 minutes getting that configured. After that I reconnected my 10 devices to the new router and threw away my old Tenda router which has seriously compromised security with a open back door for hackers denial of service attacks. Just a note, the router would not allow connection with the default password written on the bottom. I had to change it in the phone app and it worked like a charm. Just an FYI if you're planning the same thing. I'm a 70 year old caregiver for my 88 year old senile sister and my 68 year old fiance, so keeping them happy with their devices while I upgraded was paramount. Mission accomplished, plus I have more open WAN ports for a future outdoor wifi planned for later this year. The setup was so simple on this that I didn't even need to download and read instructions. I just used the QR code on the bottom of the router and downloaded the NETGEAR setup app from the apple store and it did the rest. It DID take 10 minutes while some sort of security protocol was being performed and I thought it had hung, but I just played a game while I waited and Voilà I was up and running. Response time and throughput are amazing. I am stoked!!!! No dropped signals at all in the past three days as some of the negative reviews show. Crossing my fingers that they just got a lemon and I didn't. Review: Finally an easy router to configure - Easiest and best router I have had to set up in the last 15 years. Very simple scanning set up and notification software built-in. Finally, I have the high speed that I require, and also a large transmission circle that it encompasses throughout my office and surrounding areas. Nice job best one I have had in years good value for the money, speed, and security. ## Features - FASTER, FARTHER, MORE RELIABLE WIFI: A dedicated dual-band WiFi 7 router built to keep up with a growing home of streaming, video calls, gaming, and smart home devices. - WORKS WITH YOUR EXISTING INTERNET SERVICE: Pairs with your existing modem or gateway via ethernet.

Very simple scanning set up and notification software built-in. Finally, I have the high speed that I require, and also a large transmission circle that it encompasses throughout my office and surrounding areas. Nice job best one I have had in years good value for the money, speed, and security. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NETGEAR Nighthawk Dual-Band WiFi 7 Router (RS140 *by A***9 on February 11, 2026* Love the vertical space saving design. Netgear has been a brand I had in the past and one other brand. They are superior to other brand I have had. Easy install and I am a 73 year old female. Not plug and play but easy to use their unit with some on line guidance. My 2000sq foot home is so happy in all locations with the output power. The minimum model unit I would suggest and any Nighthawk Netgear unit higher will serve you well too. The unit you need is picked by number of devices used and size of home. A strong buy suggestion. I am supplying WIFI to a smart TV with little lag on streams, 2 PC's, 2 smart phones and one print server supplying printing everywhere in home. It also has a guest log in to protect your personal data if you have guests in the home. Very happy. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/721720758-nighthawk-wifi-7-router-rs140-up-to-2-250-sq](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/721720758-nighthawk-wifi-7-router-rs140-up-to-2-250-sq) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
