Netgear R6300 review

The Netgear R6300 AC1750 dual band gigabit 802.11ac router was initially released way back in September 2012. It's as big a name as it is a huge router. At the time, we were reeling from the disappointing 802.11ac showing of the Buffalo AirStation 1750 gigabit dual band router, aka the Buffalo...

  • Fast
  • Fast Connection Speed

Netgear R6300 WiFi Router 802.11ac Dual Band Gigabit

Netgear's R6300 WiFi Router 802.11ac Dual Band Gigabit ($199.99) introduces Netgear's 11ac offering to the market. In a rather bold move, Netgear actually uses the "802.11ac" standard in the name of this product, although 802.11ac is yet to be ratified and is not expected to be until sometime next...
Pros:
  • Genie software provides easy setup and management
  • Supports draft 802.11ac
  • Dual USB ports
  • Very good performance in 2.4 GHz N-only mode
  • IPv6 support
  • Runs cool
Cons:
  • Bizarre design that limits placement
  • Performance not on par with other Netgear dual-bands
  • No USB 3.0

Bricked after 4 months

Like many, I bought this router because I thought high price meant the best router. And it did seem like that at first. I was getting 260 Mbps wireless as opposed to only 80 Mbps on an 18 month old N router. Unfortunately I soon discovered other issues with it.

DOA Netgear High End Router

Wanted a fast router for multiple users. While I have been a loyal Netgear (and Dell)customer and this router was easy to setup, it died within 5 minutes. Not sure if it is the power brick or the router itself. Disappointed in quality and waiting for Dell to authorize a return.
