FYI, I gave up after 2+ frustrating hrs on the phone with NG Tech Support plus shopping for the correct router.  I did learn that it must be the R6300v2 on the box, not the AC1900 (R6300vw).  None of the stores (BestBuy, OfficeDepot, Walmart, etc) sell the R6300 anymore.  I bought one from eBay (new in a sealed box) only to learn that the factory installed firmware was for COX Internet and not useable for Facebook.  Be careful what you buy and good luck with NG Tech Support.

Want  to use FB wifi in my office - was going to upgrade my netgear router to R6300v2 (although would get the R6400 but site says no FB wifi), but after reading these suppport issues, forget it.

 

- btw, I called Netgear support and asian guy checked with someone who said 6400 does support FB wifi, but I see no documentation indicating that so looks like I'm going to ASUS
