It’s a soft button within the Advanced->WPS Wizard section of the web user interface, Jaysin—screenshot in this section of the review. WPS is considered not secure so it’s put to limited use in most routers.

What’s your take? Is this spec going away, did Netgear forget to add it, etc.? I’m surprised there’s no mention as it’s been a widely used protocol for many years. Most routers have a WPS button, and Netgear has it on their previous Wi-Fi 6 Nighthawk routers as well.

According to the manual for the RS700, it says that the 10gig LAN and WAN ports are only compatible with One RJ-45 port compatible with 10GBASE-T, 1000BASE-TX, 100BASE-T and 10BASE-T.

Oddly enough, on page 17, it says that the 10 gig LAN port works with 5 gig, 2.5 gig, and 1 gig, so maybe it truly does downgrade to 5 and 2.5 gig.

For example I bought a Arris G36 which has one 2.5GB port. That port does not work with a switch. Only the gigabit ports work with the switch.

Yes, that’s how the Multi-Gig standard works, Carl.

Fair enough. What about my second question, which is in a home with a mixture of different Wi-Fi devices (iPhones, iPads, Nest Battery Cams, Lutron lights, etc.), do you prefer to set up a home router with SmartConnect and a single SSID or have individual bands with multiple SSIDs?
