I brought this router in 2012 because I needed a quality wireless connection. For its time it was a mid/high range modem/router that wasn't cheap. It has been serving me well since then and I don't see any real reason to upgrade to a newer model. Netgear last updated the firmware in June last year, so it's still relatively secure.

Sure, I could buy a newer model with better wireless for lower latency for gaming, or a faster wireless connection to stream 4K, but at this point it still works and the wireless is good enough for 1080p and Xbox Live. Would recommend if you can get it cheap.

Good performer. Fast, steady, minimal dropouts. Easy to setup, quality aesthetics, can be found on sale occasionally at Officeworks, has 2.4G and 5G bands so if there is too much traffic on one, can connect to the other one. Range reaches up to ~30m at home for us so it's pretty damn good.

Supports both 2.4G & 5G WiFi which means no worries whether devices are old or new. Easy to set up and the interface is very simple and easy to navigate. More importantly, the security features are highly functional, and other features such as Parental Control and QoS work very well. This router has been the best and very recommended.

Set up is a breeze. Easy to manage and keep tabs on connected devices. Wireless range isn't the best, however the speeds are great and minimal interference with wireless connections. Only recommendation will be to install a surge protector as my first one had the LAN ports fail after lightning storm..

Wanted to give 5 stars but as I haven't had so many other modem before, I gave 4 stars. But definitely so much better than other Netgear modems I had before. Stable, fast, wide range. Nothing to complain about. And I've had quite a few different modems at my office and this one is absolutely the better one any of I used. Solid and good modem. It's been 3 years and still does the best job, although my previous one died within a year.

am happy with the performance since i bought this last year. i have downloaded the Netgear Genie app on my phone which you can play around with most of the settings which are available on web interface. Access control is the nice feature which you have control of the devices connected.

I love this modem. After our original modem that was provided to us by our internet provider broke we went out and bought this one. I set it up myself with such ease. I love that we can manage the modem via our phones using the app technology. You can reboot the modem, check what devices are using the network, access parental controls and even manage your password settings all through your phone! The modem is also very pleasing to the eye.
My husband and I are very happy with this purchase.

From the looks of it, the router looks amazing. It has a minimal and stealthy vibe to it. The router has an all-black construction and comes without detachable antennas that its beauty. Great for streaming videos. The sleek design looks quite attractive and you can comfortably place it anywhere. It supports the ADSL connections too, so one product for all your needs.

Also being the dual band you can have two separate network groups for surfing or connecting the devices, connect the external hard drive and make it your own cloud storage & access the same from anywhere . Router Could be manged and configured via netgear remote software.

Overall a great product but bit pricey compared to its features.

My Netgear router/modem is a really good product it gives great range for all my home WiFi devices and also allows extra ethernet ports so to have multiple devices plugged in at once. Only downfall as its starting to get on with age im finding i need to reset the device more often.

Works well the wifi to other AC devices is fast. Signal strength could be stronger as it won't reach all rooms in my house... 20m and it drops off. I am currently only using it as a router as I have FTTP. Oh and the no areal design looks nice.

Though there are many negative review for this modem router, I do found it OK. at least it does its job. I am satisfied with its signal. It did took some time to set up initially. But after that, it was working fine. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

The D6300 has proven to be a robust and versatile machine easy to setup and consistently very good at handling a range of devices both wired and wireless. Netgear is a strong innovative company when it comes to home network solutions. The other options from Netgear include Ready Nas Duo and power point extenders which I have both used without any problems and after sales service is no problem as well. All in all I would recommend Netgear products to anyone looking for a home network modem/router.

Wireless is good quality, the user interface makes it extremely easy to set up. The black slate look also makes it rather good looking to have sitting in your living room and isn't so garish to look at. It's also pretty forward compatible by being ADSL2+ and NBN compatible. Compatible with 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless bands as well.

I have this modem router for almost 4 years now (probably time for an upgrade) and I love the program that lets me easily change the password from my phone or computer (great for blackmailing stubborn children!) but it drops off randomly and it is very frustrating to have to keep turning it off and on when it happens.

i have a 3 bedroom house and the internet was ADSL2 (fastest option available in my area) provider. I initially bought a d-link and it was the worst choice ever. could not even cover my bedroom.
This modem is much better, internet speed increased and coverage extended to my bedroom ok.
one little thing, not stable connection, the speed fluctuates during the day and not always fast. :(

This wifi modem covers a wide area for people who have a big house. It also has dual adaptors for people with lots of devices. I downloaded the netgear app and it comes with many features, from managing your data usage checking which devices are connecting. The modem has given me great internet speeds.

The supplied router modem from Telstra is from the dark ages. They have in place situations that stop you doing modern procedures. I wanted to use a STATIC IP ADDRESS and there's would not work even after long hours on the phone to support. I got a D6300 and it worked from day 1.
The only problem is the service provider often try and make changes to the unit. I have to do a full reset of my network when they do it. It upsets many aspects including wifi. A TOTAL reset appears the only solution. They do not tell you when they do changes. They are a big headache. Ones who have problems a total reset could be the solution.

I purchased this product about 2 years ago and have not looked back. We have a 3 bedroom steel framed house large loungeroom and the modem/router is at the opposite end of the house. The dual band 2.4 and 5 KHZ reaches to every corner with ease. You can pick up one at MSY now for $147. New, they were $300.

if you use the netgear genuie, you actually will have access to a lot of advance function found on more expensive model. the parental control works well . the unit have average adsl sync speed, lower compare to billion but I get this unit for $150 about 2 years ago so can not complain.

support was quick for replacement (on the phone), did not select the quick next business day for $40, slow option arrived about 6 days via star track. not too bad.

Im on my 3rd netgear modem and none worked as specified..
