Hi guys. Has anyone out there managed to get the netgear d6300 router successfully working with Spark fibre internet????

Done alot of googling and have found nothing that works for the d6300 only other netgear models.

Please help with some configuration settings or something.

Cheers in advance 😁

Putting another router in as well as the Spark one is only going to degrade performance - it's one more hop, and probably another layer of NAT, neither of which could be considered beneficial for gaming and/or streaming.

What gaming / streaming attributes does the D6300 offer over and above the Spark one?

As for previous threads https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=66&topicid=171179 seems to be the only one where someone claims to have got one working, but has neglected to provide the detail of it.

also discuss this, but there doesn't seem to be an option to VLAN tag the ethernet WAN, so it can not work.
