Change from nighthawk AX8 AX6600 to nighthawk RS700S WiFi 7
What do I have to do if I want to replace my nighthawk AX8 to a the new WIFI 7. Do I need to contact netgear about the change? This will go to my account and it’s just like a plug and play? Disconnect...

Check that you have wifi clients that can work with WiFi 7. (They are pretty rare.)
If yes:
- Buy new router that delivers WiFi 7.
- Remove old router (that's probably a RAX70, because AX6600 is just a wifi speed).
- Set up new router to work with your Internet connection.
If no:
- Forget it.
There is no point.
I don’t understand check if I have clients that work with WIFI 7. This is for my home and to get better and faster WiFi speeds. For my Apple TV, Xbox, etc. thank you!
