Review on πŸ” Renewed NETGEAR R6300V2 AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit Smart WiFi Router by Jeho Odor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great router for DD-WRT or Tomato firmware

One star deducted for the condition the router was received. I know they are used but the one I received literally looked like a dog toy complete with teeth marks. However, the router worked fine. This is not native Netgear firmware. They have their own bootloader and firmware since they were distributed by the cable company and then eventually became obsolete. There are many instructions online on how to change the bootloader to roll it back to the main firmware and then change it to the open source DD-WRT or Tomato firmware which adds some amazing features that the regular Standard firmware not included, e.g. web server, VPN, ad blocker, etc.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Problematic
