Netgear R6300

The R6300 is quite a beast of a router, and it certainly gives a promise of things to come. While we score it highly, we'd hold off on purchasing anything 802.11ac until client chips are more widespread - by then, there'll likely be something even better around.
Pros:
  • Incredible performance
  • Supports 2.4GHz
  • 5GHz n and ac simultaneously
  • Gigabit WAN
  • Can set up via mobile devices
Cons:
  • Huge and bulky
  • Although they should be along soon
  • no 802.11ac wireless adapters are available yet to take advantage of it
  • Mobile app needs a lot of finessing
  • Netgear's router UI still needs work

It's a fool's game trying to win a race against technology and stay ahead of the curve. At best, you'll end up spending buckets of cash and still fall behind the first time you blink.
Pros:
  • Solid Performance
  • USB x 2
  • Genie Dashboard
  • Strong Signal
  • Parental Controls and Scheduling
Cons:
  • Bulky Design
  • Ahead of the Curve
  • No USB 3.0

Netgear R6300 802.11ac wireless router

We used the Netgear R6300 almost exclusively for at least two months and found it to be rock solid. It distributed our iiNet ADSL2+ connection without any problems and we didn't encounter any stability issues across the wired, wireless or USB interfaces of the router.
Pros:
  • Super-fast Wi-Fi
  • Good USB sharing performance
  • Very reliable performer
Cons:
  • Needs 802.11ac adapters to work best
  • Hardware design a little awkward
  • Parental filters not the easiest to set up
