Is it possible to have network cables connect to guest network like
wireless connections on an updated Netgear R6300 v1 router? If so, then
how?

Not sure what you are asking. Do you want to chain routers together?
Cables don't connect to networks. They connect devices. "... cables
connect to guest network ...". Guest network WHAT? Another router? A switch? A gateway?

You should assume 'No' unless you find something that very specifically says 'Yes' in your router manual. You can mostly get that kind of functionality with some third party firmwares, but it's highly doubtful that OEM firmware will allow wired connections to connect to anything but the main network.
If so, then how?
Configurable VLANs might do it, but that's what I'm guessing your router doesn't have. Take a look at your manual.

http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/R6300/R6300_UM_1Jun12.pdf
doesn't mention anything about VLANs so no I guess. :(

Looks like the only way to do it with your router would be to change the firmware to DD-WRT as the chart here shows your router being supported. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices
Then go here https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Tutorials and look
for the VLAN Detached Networks entry in the advanced tutorials section.

Like wireless guest AP for guests to join, but with network cables. I
want to keep the network separated for network cable users.
Does the router let you subnet its port and wifi connects? It does subnetting, it may also provide a choice if the subnet is private or
shared. Another possibility are the virtual networks that Char
mentioned -- oops just read your reply and your router doesn't do VLANs
so it probably doesn't do subnetting, either. The router has its own
subnet mask specified but I'm talking about putting ports and wifi into
their own subnets (aka segments).
I haven't played with enough wifi routers to know if some routers let
you subnet them differently than subnets for the wired ports. I had a
DLink ages ago (it died from heat after a little over 2 years) that let
me isolate each wired port. Didn't even have to bother with subnetting
which probably means it was a feature of the router's built-in firewall.
I missed that feature when I had to replace with a Linksys. Just
because the family shared the router didn't mean I wanted their traffic
on my network [subnet]. Basically it looked like 4 routers similarly configured for each wired network. Didn't see a similar firewall
feature in the manual to which you linked.
Wow, died from heat? How hot was the room temperatures? My rooms got up
to 90F degrees during the crazy heat waves. :(
