I was looking at Netgear website and they referred to the Netgear R6300v2. From there site page "The dual-core 800 MHz** processor delivers high-performance connectivity, while the USB 3.0** port provides up to 10x faster USB hard drive access." The R6300 had a Broadcom BCM4706 processor. Netgear has upgraded the R6300 to second generation architecture and added v2 to it.
