Get to know your wireless router

The NETGEAR D6300 WiFi DSL Modem Router offers maximum-performance wireless speeds of up to 300+13001 Mbps2 needed for demanding applications, such as large file transfers, streaming HD video, and multiplayer gaming. Complete with a built-in DSL modem, it is compatible with all major DSL Internet service providers. Simultaneous dual-band technology runs both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands at the same time, ensuring top speeds and the greatest range, while Gigabit offers ultrafast wired connections. The unit supports a wide range of premium features and applications such as ReadySHARE® Printer, and NETGEAR genie®.

The WiFi DSL modem router automatically uses NETGEAR Beamforming+ technology to enhance WiFi performance. Because it’s automatic, you don’t have to turn on Beamforming+ or configure it. When you connect to the WiFi network, Beamforming+ focuses on your location for even better WiFi performance and speed. Beamforming+ locks onto your laptop, tablet, or smartphone, and follows as you move from place to place, so you keep your optimal WiFi connection.
