Netgear AC6300 N1750 Wireless Router Compatibility

Just looking for some feedback on the new Netgear AC6300 N1750 Wireless Router, is this a Verizon FiOS Friendly Router?
I currently have my FiOS internet set up as Ethernet out of the ONT instead of MoCA this was done several years ago, all is running fine until my existing Netgear N750 WNDR4000 died, and am looking to upgrade to the new AC6300 by Netgear.  
Any Feedback would be appreciated as I hve had inpecable service out of the existing Netgear router I am using and thought since it is on its last legs I would keep with the same Mfg and go with the newest Model which is the AC6300 N1750.  Netgear claims it is fully compatible with Verizon FiOS however I waould like to hear it from the Verizon side of the house as well if it is true.
Thank you again in advance

The term "FiOS compatible" is a lot like smoke and mirrors.  Since you have no requirement for MoCA capability, any reasonable quality wireless router of recent vintage will do the job, and do it well.  Be advised that the dual band capability of this device won't be beneficial just yet.  Also the ability to load third party firmware such as TomatoUSB or DDWRT is pretty much standard on higher quality routers these days.
According to the NewEgg page, this particular device has all the bells and whistles, and looks very good.  It's very attractive to boot.  However it costs nearly $200, so it really should be above average.  If you don't mind spending this much, you'll be just fine, FiOS or otherwise.

    You don't have to do anything to the netgear.. the Express cannot wirelessly extend non-apple networks. You must plug the Express in by ethernet and create a new wireless network.. this can be the same name (SSID) and security as the netgear so it can become a roaming network.

  • Wireless Router Compatibility

    Hi,
    Thank you for indulging this perhaps ignorant seeming question.
    I want to buy a wireless router for my household which contains a 12" PB 1GHZ processor running os x 10.4, and a 15" PB 1.67 GHZ running os x 10.3.9. Both are equipped with airport extreme. Given the hardware and software for these two computers are there any wireless type (n,g,b...) routers that won't be compatible?
    Scott

    To the best of my knowledge, all home wireless routers should work. If N, they should all be backward compatible for G and B; if G, backward compatible with B. Very few people at home use A. Airport Extreme cards are G/B.
    Many routers can be set to run only one type (N,G,B), and the ease of configuring routers varies widely. Many are not Mac friendly to set up, using unfamiliar terminology and arcane ways of setting common settings, especially security. It helps to know what you are doing in these cases. The Apple routers are relatively easy to set up, but tend to be more expensive.

  • Wireless router and beige G3 question (OS 8.6 or 9?)

    I've purchased a Netgear 54 mbps wireless router to network my Macs. For now, the G4 tower and the 266 beige G3 are going to be connected through two of the hardwired ports until I can get an Airport card for the G4. The G4 is running Panther 10.3.9 and connects via built-in Ethernet. The beige is running OS 8.6 and connects via an Ethernet PCI card (the built-in port is dead). The third machine is a laptop with an Airport card.
    Should I upgrade the G3 to 9.2.2 before I set up the network or can I go ahead with things as they are now?
    G3 beige (OS 8.6), G4 Sawtooth (OS 10.3.9), TiBook (OS 9.2.2 and OS 10), G5   Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier  

    don't like being different, but on a 266MHz G3 with maybe limited memory, OS8.6 will still fly, OS9.2 starts to slow down on certain tasks.
    IMHO, OS8.6 was as good as it ever got for a stable and secure Mac OS.
    But you may find the update to OS9, with IE v5 and QuickTime v5 may just be worth the slowdown. Depends what you're going to use it for, I removed OS9 on my old iMac 233MHz and put OS8.6 back on. It does everything I want it to, fast.

    Should I upgrade the G3 to 9.2.2 before I set up the
    network or can I go ahead with things as they are
    now?
    You should be able to go ahead now and see how it works, the OS 8.6 G3 should be able to connect to the internet, mount any shared drives from the other network Macs, and print to any shared printers (may require OS 8.6 drivers on the G3) on the other Macs. This would be useful for backing up the G3 harddrive to another Mac's larger HD and then burning to CD/DVD media, if your G3 has only the stock CD-ROM drive. If you find that something doesn't meet your needs, then you can upgrade the G3 to OS 9 later, but it should operate on the network just fine with 8.6, although I haven't used OS 8 myself in quite a while, so I could be totally wrong.
    From memory, I think I had at one time networked a Performa 5200 with 8.1 and my G3 running 10.2, so I'm not sure if there are any major differences that might cause difficulties between 8.6 and 10.3.
    What is your planned usage of the G3 on the network?

  • Wireless router conflicting with Virgin SuperHub...

    Not sure if anyone can help here
    Recently upgraded to Virgin Media's 30Mb broadband and Superhub
    This superhub is a modem and wireless router but I've had the wireless section disabled so that it acts as a modem only and that in turn is connected to my Netgear WNR2000 N300 wireless router. This is then connected to my iMAC via ethernet but runs wifi around the house for the iPad, AppleTV2 and my Marantz CR603 streaming hifi
    Anyways... All of a sudde the Mac isnt able to connect to the internet; it appears that the router and superbhub seem to be conflicting each other but I'm unsure why (I'm not that technical minded when it comes to things like this sorry)
    It's like the IP addresses have changed so sometimes it'll work (after everythings rebooted) but then it stops working again etc...
    Does anyone have any advice or tips on this issue?
    Regards

    Turn the dhcp server off in either the Virgin or the Netgear, 2 dhcp servers is one too many.

  • Wireless Router Installation CD won't open

    Trying to install a netgear WPN 824 wireless router on my Imac 17, the installation disk won't open. I am installing the router for use with a PC laptop.
    Thanks

    You probably don't need the CD. Just plug a network cable (should have come with the router) from your Mac to the router. Use one of the numbered ports.
    Then open up your browser (Safari, Firefox, etc...), you'll get an error message that page could not load, or something like that.
    Depending on the router, you might have to look at the quick, guide, type in the default IP address of the router in the address line. Example: 192.168.0.1 -or- 192.168.1.1
    It will then take you to a Netgear page, and the Wizard should start for you.
    Hope that helps a little,

  • Communication Error with wireless router, Works fine with Ethernet cable.

    Video iChat is fine when my MBP and other MB's and MBP's are at my house using the Netgear 240 rangemax wireless router. I'm currently running High speed Internet via cable modem through Time Warner Cable. When I try to chat with them while they are at home, I get a communication error. I then tried to use the Ethernet cable hooked up to the cable modem to my MacBook Pro. It worked fine. I would like to use video iChat via my wireless router. I don't understand why it is not working. I think it is my router. Do I need to buy an Airport Extreme Base Station or can I still use this router. Can you possibly help me configure this Netgear router? The internet connection is fine when I use the wireless router.

    I have not had very good experiences with the Netgear routers. I can't say that it is the router causing your problem, however, it might be the effective wireless bandwidth over your router. Do a speedcheck and determine the download and upload speed with wireless. Hopefully you're getting about 400Kbps up and 400Kbps down or about 1000Kbps in total.

  • How do I set up a Netgear WNR3500 as wireless extender with the Airport Extreme as my main router?

    I just got the Airport Extreme yesterday because the Netgear couldn't hold all the computers we had on it. Now the Apple router works great, except for it is downstairs in the basement because our home computer is ancient and only connects via ethernet cord. So the Wi-Fi upstairs is only one bar on my smart phone way in the corner far from the router. I did some research and found out that the Netgear WNR3500 can be used as a wireless extender. I want to hook it up on the main floor away from the Airport where the signal is strong so it will still get great connection but will be able to transmit that same great connection a little bit farther. I just want to know how to do that.
         Thank You!

    The Netgear WNR3500 has mixed reviews at best and their customer support is unformly regarded as poor.
    Interesting how different people have different experiences - although I never needed their tech support, so I would not have an opinion on that, this wireless router was the absolute best router I've ever had. I had to stop using it because I changed ISP's and was forced to use their modem/router combination (nothing else will work with their new V-DSL service); however, I've kept the router in case I should need to use it as an extender (which I haven't). In any case, unlike D-Link, Belkin, or Link-Sys which would at most give me one bar in my livingroom and the signal would cut out intermittently (livingroom is 50 ft from study), the Netgear showed all the bars and was steady as a rock. Configuring it with MAC filtering on their website was much easier than my current one as well.

  • Can I Show Time Connected When Using Netgear DG834 Wireless Router ?

    When I had an old SpeedTouch USB Modem I could see the time I had been connected to the internet from a readout in the menu along the top of the monitor.
    Is there a way of displaying or ascertaining this information using the Netgear DG834 wireless router?
    I have discovered that by opening the Router Satus and clicking on "Connected Status" I can get a window displaying this info - but is there a quicker "automatic" way of doing it?
    Ian.

    Hi Ian,
    Interesting one…
    When you connect via a USB modem the computer is 'doing' the connecting using the modem so the computer has the 'time connected' status available locally. In the case of a router it is connected to the internet irrespective of the computer's status; on, off, sleep, or even, connected to the router. The only way you're going to get the info is from the router itself and, unless it has a setting whereby it will automatically 'inform' the computer of its connected time, I think you're going to have to carry on as you are.
    I don't know that particular Netgear but used to have a different one until a thunderstorm fried it. I don't remember it having such a setting. My current Belkin certainly hasn't.
    I'm quite interested to know why you want this info. Are you on some kind of PAYG tariff?

  • Netgear wireless router won't connect to my HP Pavilion via ethernet cable

    I had bought the Netgear LT wireless router for my home and I cannot get my Pavilion PC to connect via the ethernet cable. All of our tablets will connect wirelessly as well as my laptop. The laptop will also connect using the ethernet cable. I had used a wireless broadband card on my PC for that last several years without a problem, now I can't seem to connect to the internet with this new tool. When I do try to connect, a pop-up screen appears with suggestions of using the connections from the past (ie. dial-up, broadband, mobil), but does not show an option for this new router.
    Someone had suggest that I may need to get an updated driver for the ehternet card, and if so, how to I get said updated driver to instal over to my PC without being connected to the internet? I've tried to reconfigure and add a "new network" connection without any luck and have uninstalled the old programs pertaining to the old connection devices.
    As of now, I'm having to download my business materials on my laptop, then transfer the files to the PC via thumb drives. I'm sure I'm just overlooking something rather simple, as it is usually the case for most, I imagine. Can anyone give me another alternative to fix this issue? I plan on leaving the PC connected to the router via ethernet, while using the wireless WiFi for the other devices.
    Thank you in advance!!

  • Time Capsule 2TB vs. Netgear WNDR3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless Router

    Hey everyone, I just bought the Time Capsule 2TB since I was running out of space at home and wanted a solution for both PC and MAC machines. Upon installation I learned that the TC can actually be my Wireless Router! Right? For some reason I never knew it could do this - I thought it could just be a wireless harddrive.
    Ok, so I already had a wireless router (the Netgear WNDR3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless Router). So my questions are the following:
    1) Is the TC a completely safe and equal replacement for the Netgear Wireless Router that I have?
    2) Currently the TC is setup as a wireless HD on my network (where the Netgear is the router) and the transfer speeds I am seeing are pretty darn slow! I am assuming it is because the data needs to go from LAPTOP -> Router -> TC. Right? So my question is, if the TC is setup as the actual wireless router, then would the data transfers be faster? Since I would only have to go from LAPTOP -> TC to store the data.
    One more side question regarding the TC and connecting a printer:
    3) If the printer has scanning capabilities, then where does this scanned document file go when the printer is connected to the TC ?
    Thanks for your help!
    John

    John, welcome to the discussions!
    I can provide a few thoughts and hopefully, others will as well.
    "1) Is the TC a completely safe and equal replacement for the Netgear Wireless Router that I have?"
    It appears to offer essentially the same features and performance at a glance. If you are using ethernet devices, the TC has 3 LAN ports, while there are 4 on the Netgear.
    "So my question is, if the TC is setup as the actual wireless router, then would the data transfers be faster?"
    I think it will be about the same. You could of course hook up the TC and try it, but I doubt that you would notice any measurable difference.
    "3) If the printer has scanning capabilities, then where does this scanned document file go when the printer is connected to the TC ?"
    Assuming that your printer is compatible with the TC you will be able to print, but advanced functions such as copying, scanning, maintenance, etc. will not work. You will need to connect your all-in-one directly to your computer if you need these other services.

  • Need help setting up Airport Express A1084 in Windows 7 via Netgear WNDR4500 wireless router

    Hello All. I bought a used Airport Express A1084 off the net. Never had one before. My intention is to remotely control (via my iPhone using Apples Remote app or possibly XBMC) a "pc with music" and stream thru the AE connected to a boombox. I want to be able to take AE and boombox to the front yard, back yard, garage, or wherever my Netgear WNDR4500 will reach.
    So far I have hit the reset on the AE and while holding, plugged it in to power (still holding) until the green light blinked. I let it go. Waited for it to complete booting (slow blinking yellow/amber light). The AE did not show up in Airport Utility ver 5.6.1. I uninstalled that version and installed older Airport Utility ver 5.4.2. Same results. I power cycled the router, turned off the Norton 365 firewall, and still get nothing. At one point though, I walked away for a while (an hour or so), came back and saw the AE listed in the left window pane of Airport Utility. I thought maybe I just didn't wait long enough so I clicked Manual Setup and it started to read the AE but Errored 10057. I tried again and got same error. I refreshed and the AE was gone.
    Can someone tell me how to correct this so I can confirm I didn't buy a "brick"?
    Thanks in advance,
    Tom

    Just so you are aware, the A1084 AirPort Express is a 802.11b/g wireless router that can only operate on the 2.4 GHz band. Regardless, it can be configured to join the wireless network provided by the Netgear as long as that network is configured to be backwards compatible with 802.11g clients. However, in the long run for performance, you do NOT want any non-"n" wireless clients connecting to your Netgear's network.
    The 5.6.1 version of the AirPort Utility for Windows does not support the non-"n" version of the AirPort base stations. You would need to use an earlier version that will still run on Windows 7.
    One thing to try would be to temporarily connect the Express directly to your PC using an Ethernet cable, and then, try accessing it with the AirPort Utility. If you are still unable to do so, you may have gotten yourself a defective unit.
