The tri-band RS700S has 8 internal antennas arranged to create a spherical transmission pattern that Netgear engineers optimized to cover a main floor, one above and one below. On the downside, the RS700 lacks the pair of data screens that the TP-Link Archer BE900 has to show anything from the weather and time to its connection status and CPU usage. The bottom has a button to start the WPS process for adding a device and one for turning off the lights, although the power LED remains on when the router is operating. There are also lights to show a USB drive is connected, and whether the 2.4-, 5- and 6GHz wireless bands are being used. ![]() Upfront is a vertical line of LEDs that show that the router is powered up, online as well as individual dots showing wired network activity. ![]()
