3. Getting Started
This reviewer guide assumes you have received the R6300 package. The contents of the package are:
The R6300 router
The power adapter and AC cable
An Ethernet cable
The Installation Guide
Please contact NETGEAR’s PR team if any of these pieces are missing.
The first step in setting up the R6300 is finding an appropriate location. For best results, NETGEAR
recommends placing the router:
Near the center of the area where computers and other wireless devices will operate.
Within easy reach of an AC power outlet, as well as the Ethernet cable that provides Internet
access –such as a home cable or DSL modem, or an office network.
At an elevated location, such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceiling between
the router and wireless devices to a minimum.
Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large
expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and concrete
can also affect the wireless signal.
The second step is connecting the R6300 to the Ethernet cable that provides Internet access and then to
AC power. Make sure the R6300 is turned on –the power button is found on the back of the router, at
the bottom.
The third step is connecting your PC, smartphone or tablet to the R6300. As noted above, setting up the
R6300 is quick and easy. The set up process can be managed from any wired or wireless device on the
network that runs a web browser, including PCs, Macs, smartphones, and tablets.
To use a wired connection, simply connect the Ethernet cable from the R6300 to your computer.
To use a wireless connection, connect to the R6300’s default WiFi network. The WiFi network
name (SSID) and network key (password) are shown on the router’s label.

The fourth step is configuring the R6300.
1. Open a web browser on any device connected to the router. The browser is hijacked to the
installation page. Please follow the installation steps.
2. If the browser is not hijacked, check connection to the router or alternatively login directly to
the router by going to http://routerlogin.net.
3. Enter the user name admin and the default password (the word password). You’ll then see the
home screen, from which you can customize the R6300’s wireless networks and advanced
features.
4. Wireless Speed and Range
The R6300 delivers speeds up to 450 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band and 1300 Mbps in the 5 GHz band. Six
highly sensitive internal antennas are connected to the highest-power radio amplifiers allowed by
regulations: transmit power of +28.5 dBm in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands (+27 dBM at 5 GHz in
Europe) and receive sensitivity of -99 dBm at 1 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band and -96 dBm at 6 Mbps in the
5 GHz band.
Reviewers will receive two units—one to set up as a router, and the other to set up as a bridge. For
reviewers, the units will be preconfigured. There is also a separate note that explains how to configure
the R6300 as a bridge. This feature is accessed through the Advanced Wireless Settings page of the
router GUI (Advanced tab > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings).
The result is more WiFi range –and more wireless speed at any given distance –than top-of-the-line
home routers available today.

To test this informally, start with your current router before setting up the R6300. Go to remote corners
of your test area with a laptop, smartphone or tablet and look for areas of low signal strength. Then
check the same locations again after installing the R6300. You should see greater signal strength at
many of these points.
For NETGEAR’s recommendations on technical evaluation of wireless performance, see the Appendix.
5. Advanced Features
This section highlights a few of the many advanced features available on the R6300.
ReadySHARE USB
The R6300 is ready for instant file sharing –just plug a USB hard drive or flash drive into either of the
router’s two USB ports. Files on the shared drive can then be accessed anywhere on the network, as well
as outside the home through a web browser or via File Transfer Protocol (FTP.). By default only Network
Connection and HTTP are enabled.
ReadySHARE Printer
The R6300 makes it possible to share almost any USB printer with PCs and Macs on the home network,
through either a wired or wireless connection. With the R6300, there’s no need to buy a new printer
with built-in WiFi to provide wireless printing to every PC and Mac on the network.
To test this feature, simply plug a USB printer into either of the R6300’s USB ports and make sure the
correct printer driver software is installed on each PC or Mac that will access the printer. Then,
download and install the NETGEAR ReadySHARE Printer utility—available free at
7
www.netgear.com/readyshare on each PC and Mac. Run the utility on each PC and Mac to complete
the connection.
Guest Network
Through the Genie interface, it’s simple to set up a guest network, so visitors can go online without
having to be given the home network password and without gaining access to computers, printers,
storage drives and other home-network devices.
DLNA
A USB hard drive plugged into the router becomes a powerful DLNA media server for sharing
entertainment content stored on the drive –such as video, music and photos –to DLNA-certified,
Internet-ready consumer electronic devices including televisions, Blu-ray™players and game consoles.
NETGEAR Live Parental Controls
NETGEAR Live Parental Controls give parents a centralized, flexible and reliable way to establish what
web sites their children visit and what times of day they can go online for all devices on the network,
including Windows PCs, Macs, smartphones and tablets. For details, please go to
http://countries.netgear.com/lpc.
Advanced Quality of Service (QoS)
By prioritizing video streams over other home network traffic, advanced Quality of Service (QoS)
provides the best possible viewing experience for online video.

6. NETGEAR genie application
NETGEAR genie™is a free application, available for PCs, Macs, and mobile devices, that presents a
simple dashboard for monitoring, controlling and repairing home networks; viewing devices connected
to the router through a network map; and accessing many router features. NETGEAR genie mobile apps
are also available for iPhones, Android phones, and iPads. To download NETGEAR genie, go to
www.netgear.com/genie.
The NETGEAR genie utility goes beyond the genie interface that comes with the R6300 by providing an
in-depth look at network performance and allowing advanced configuration for the router’s many
features. The NETGEAR genie home screen is the starting point:

The Network Map presents a visual image of all devices connected to the home network:
The WiFi Channels feature shows which wireless channels are being used by the R6300 and nearby
access points:

The Internet feature shows real-time Internet speed for both download and upload:
7. Bridge Mode
The R6300 WiFi Router can be configured in bridge mode. This mode lets you connect multiple devices
wirelessly at the faster 802.11ac speed. To do this, you would use two R6300 routers. Install the first
router, and then set up the second router in bridge mode.
