Netgear R6300 2.4GHz issues

I finally gave up on Netgear firmware and went to DD-WRT.

Firmware Upgrade Procedure:

Always use the following steps to upgrade your firmware.

  1. Perform reset to factory defaults setting in existing Firmware.
  2. Perform Firmware Upgrade.
  3. Perform reset to factory defaults setting in newly upgraded DD-WRT Firmware.
  4. Use DD-WRT in your router.

NETGEAR Genie Setup

NETGEAR Genie runs on any device with a web browser. It is the easiest way to set up the router because it automates many of the steps and verifies that those steps have been successfully completed. It takes about 15 minutes to complete. To use NETGEAR Genie to set up your router:

  1. Turn the router on by pressing the On/Off button, if not done yet.
  2. Make sure that your device is connected with an Ethernet cable (wired) or wirelessly (with the preset security settings listed on the bottom label) to your router.
  3. Launch your Internet browser. •
    1. The first time you are set up the Internet connection for your router, the browser goes to http://www.routerlogin.net, and the NETGEAR Genie screen displays. •
    2. If you already used the NETGEAR Genie, type http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field for your browser to display the NETGEAR Genie screen.
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete NETGEAR Genie setup. NETGEAR Genie guides you through connecting the router to the Internet.
