Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a separate modem to use the Nighthawk RS90?
Yes. The RS90 is a router only with no coax input, so it requires a separate modem or ISP gateway with an RJ45 Ethernet port to connect to the internet.
What internet speeds can the 2.5 Gig WAN port actually handle?
The 2.5 Gig WAN port is the internet input and supports multi-gig plans above standard gigabit. Actual speeds depend on your ISP plan and connected devices.
Will the RS90 cover a large or multi-story house?
It's rated for up to 2,000 sq. ft. in open layouts. Walls, floors, and building materials reduce range, so larger or multi-story homes may benefit from a mesh system.
Does the RS90 work with fiber internet?
It works with cable, fiber, DSL, and satellite through a compatible modem or gateway. Some fiber ISP gateways may require bridge mode or additional configuration first.
How many wired devices can I connect to the RS90?
It has four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for wired devices like computers, gaming consoles, smart TVs, and storage drives, plus the separate 2.5 Gig WAN input.
Is NETGEAR Armor included with the router?
A 30-day NETGEAR Armor trial is included, adding malware and hacker protection across your devices. WPA3 encryption, an SPI firewall, and auto firmware updates are built in.
