The short version
The Nighthawk RS700S is NETGEAR's BE19000 tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router, with eight internal antennas, a 10 Gbps Internet port, one 10 Gbps LAN port, four Gigabit LAN ports and USB 3.0. Tom's Guide measured 1.77 Gbps at 15 feet and 691.8 Mbps at 50 feet, more than double the Archer BE800's result at that distance. It suits large homes with multi-gig internet. Only one LAN port is multi-gig, and band linking was absent when reviewed.
