Netgear R6300 WiFi router
The upcoming 802.11ac wireless standard is the world’s fastest WiFi. With gigabit WiFi speeds, 802.11ac enables users to download web content and sync large video or music files up to three times faster than ever before. As Australians continue to embrace the convenience of mobile internet and tablets, 802.11ac offers superior speed while using a similar amount of battery power as devices operating with the current WiFi standard.
With an elegant, sleek new design, the Netgear R6300 WiFi Router will fit seamlessly into any interior, while increasing the coverage area for HD streaming in the home. Speeds of up to 1300 Mbps on 5GHz and 450 Mbps on 2.4GHz allow consumers to download web content from any device in the home in a fraction of the time it would take on a similar 802.11n device. The router is also backwards compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n legacy WiFi devices.
“After 15 years as an industry leader, we are thrilled to bring the first 802.11ac router to Australian consumers,” says Netgear Australia and New Zealand senior director of consumer channels Brad Little.
