For just $179, down from its list price of $199.99, the RS180 lands below the $196.96 it has averaged over the past 30 days and under its $197.93 90-day average. That gap matters if you have been waiting for a reason to move on a WiFi 7 upgrade without paying launch pricing. The model's all-time low sits at $139.75, so this is a moderate cut rather than a record, but it is the kind of entry point that makes the jump to WiFi 7 easier to justify.

What You're Getting

The RS180 pairs with your existing modem or gateway over ethernet and works with most cable, fiber, DSL, and satellite providers. MU-MIMO and OFDMA let multiple devices send and receive data at once, which keeps a packed household running smoothly. The 2.5 Gig WAN port unlocks multi-gig internet plans, and a second 2.5 Gig LAN port is there for a gaming rig or NAS drive.

Who This Is For

Best for households of up to 80 devices that want WiFi 7 without paying flagship prices. If your current router chokes during video calls, streaming, and gaming at the same time, the RS180 gives you the headroom.

Anyone in a larger or multi-story home should look at a NETGEAR Orbi mesh system instead, since coverage tops out around 2,500 square feet.

Final Verdict

If a WiFi 7 upgrade has been on your list, $179 is the moment to stop comparing and start configuring. Buyers who need whole-home coverage across multiple floors are better served by a mesh setup, but for a single-level home with a crowded network, the RS180 earns its spot at this price.
