Netgear R6300 Dual Band Gigabit WiFi Router Review

LAN Speed Test a a simple free to use application that creates a file of any given size and pushes it across a network to a given destination folder, measuring the maximum speed of throughput during the file transfer. To get a better and more accurate throughput speed, we set the file size to 1GB.

The R6300 is one of the few AC compliant routers out on the market and with tow identical units linked together to test the AC throughput speed, what a difference the new standard makes. We do find that as the distance increases, the speed drops to where we would expect with wireless-N, but it’s more the range at which we are achieving these speeds that we have to account for with over 77MB/s at over 40 feet away.
