The Netgear R6300 WiFi Router is bulky. Its mobile app only works within the local network and the performance of its network storage and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band could be better
Abstract: Wireless marketeers have been hard at work convincing us it takes a $300 router to step up our network's wireless performance. But for many buyers, they're expensive overkill. Most mobile devices have N150 or AC580 (1x1 N or AC) class radios, as do CE pro...
The detailed ranking summary above shows that the R6300's weakest point is range, which is evident in the throughput vs. attenuation plots shown earlier. The ASUS RT-AC66U, which ranks #1 across the board, still looks like the one to beat when it comes to...

Abstract: Five years ago, we didn't have homes with a dozen wireless nodes and the need to run HD video to multiple screens. Today we do. Our 802.11n networks, especially on the 2.4 GHz band, are swamped. Can 802.11ac save the day? We test six routers to find out. ...
Abstract: The first 802.11ac router, based on Draft 2.0 silicon from Broadcom, appeared in the first quarter of 2012, and it's taken a while for other vendors to release their first products. The ratification process is now up to Draft 4.0, but final approval is st...

From a standpoint of performance, the Netgear R6300 is impressive to say the least. It maintained speeds throughout the house rivaling that of the hardwired benchmark. Considering that the testing was done using an antiquated laptop, the final results ...

The Netgear R6300 802.11ac router combines the fastest Wi-Fi speeds we have ever tested with a clever and complete user interface for ultimate control. Some may not like the footprint or aggressive shape, but we think with all the features that Netge...

Bizarre design that limits placement. Performance not on par with other Netgear dual-bands. No USB 3.0
Although the Netgear R6300 supports the latest 802.11ac standard (in draft form); an odd design, and surprisingly underwhelming performance running in 11ac mode does not make this router one of Netgear's best....
