Inside the NETGEAR R6300: JTAG Pinouts, USB-TTL Extension, Pics... Plus DD-WRT Kong Mod is Coming!

Submitted by Kong on Tue, 02/26/2013 - 4:20pm

I recently received a brand new R6300 from the folks at MyOpenRouter. Since there hasn't been any guide on unbricking, I'm going to show you some pics from the inside of the R6300!

I'm not going to write a full review or unbricking guide here, as the unbricking process works exactly as described in the WNR3500L unbrick guide. The pinouts can be taken from my pic.

The NETGEAR N600 - WNDR3400 may be listed on the lower end of the latest routers available from NETGEAR... but we got a chance to give the WNDR3400v2 a spin and were quite impressed with it!

It comes with most of the extra features the more expensive routers from NETGEAR have, such as a wireless guest network, live parental controls and their NETGEAR Genie App.

How to Set Up OpenVPN On Your Android Phone

Submitted by Peter Redmer on Fri, 12/21/2012 - 12:00pm

Sticking with the theme of Internet security, I recently became interested in securing my mobile Internet connection with a VPN as well as my connection at home. Fortunately, most VPN providers are aware that users need multiple connections with a single account, and both providers I've tried personally allow for this. This means my connection to my VPN can be active at home, plus I can be out and about on a 4G mobile connection and still remain protected. Here's how to make it happen. You won't believe how easy it is.

Privacy on the Internet was killed off for many -- if not most -- people a very long time ago. Virtually everything one does online can be tracked... and track they do, whether they tell you or not.

We live in a world of apps. Apps are everywhere and lie at the core of most of our mobile computing lives--especially when it comes to tablets and smartphones.

An Average Geek's Review of Kong's DD-WRT for NETGEAR WNR3500L

Submitted by Peter Redmer on Wed, 09/19/2012 - 6:55pm

I may only dabble in programming, installing Linux distros and playing with networking equipment, but I love me some open source firmware. As a self-respecting gadget geek (aren't we all--maybe it's too cliche for me say that at this point) I have a large number of devices in my home that are connected to my router. As such, it's really the nerve center of my little condo and my (and the Mrs.'s) connected life, and stability and speed are important.
