What drew me towards the Netgear D6300 is it's capability to perform as a router and a modem . I recently switched from cable to DSL and the D6300 was an easy choice for me because I didn't want to purchase a router separately.

The Netgear R6300 was the first 802.11ac router we tested, and we were impressed with its performance. The Netgear D6300 adds ADSL to the mix (so it can be used with both BT and, with the appropriate modem, Virgin connections), and we've now tested the router with its own-brand 802.11ac USB adapter.

It's getting to the point where if your house doesn't have a fast home network you're laughed at for not living in the modern age and are somehow...

It's hard to justify such an expensive product when 802.11ac is still so rare, especially as each extra PC on the network will cost another $85 thanks to the need for a dongle. Making matters worse is the poor long range performance, but at closer ranges, it's a much happier story.

Excellent user interface; Includes 802.11ac Wi-Fi; Good performance at close to medium range

Lucklustre long range performance; Limited 802.11ac device support at this stage

The Netgear D6300 is one of the first in a new wave of routers we'll be seeing over the next year. As well as support for 802.11 a, b, g and n, it also supports the all new, but still in draft, 801.11ac standard that uses a 5GHz radio to move data at speeds in excess of 400Mbps today and up to...

All in all, i realy liked this router, moving from belkin to netgear was the right choice, anyone with a few extra bob, should invest in this future proof modem router.

i liked this router; it has every configuration option available; very easy setup; i must say netgear has thought of everything

A few minor issues; the netgear front bright white logo; can be annoying at night; Top air vent holes; can also be dust holes; letting dust in

Wireless 802.11ac draft routers are coming thick and fast, and the Netgear D6300 802.11ac dual band gigabit Wi-Fi modem router is in fact an ADSL2+ equipped version of the Netgear R6300 .
