Boost your Wi-Fi at home or connect on the move — 9/18/2015

T3, David Nield

For most of us, staying connected is a necessity, which is why plenty of gadget makers have come up with hardware to help you deal with Wi-Fi dead zones either at home or when you're out and about. The Netgear AC750 Wi-Fi Range Extender, is first on the list because its range extenders hook on to your existing Wi-Fi network and then blast it out again in all directions, acting as a kind of middleman between wherever your router is and the furthest reaches of the house.

Netgear AC1200 WiFi Range Extender Review (EX6200) — 9/17/2015

DailyTekk, By Staff

If the Internet access around your home or office is slower or weaker than you’d like: pay attention. The AC1200 WiFi Range Extender from NETGEAR can extend your WiFi range to the max while also ensuring fast connection speeds. It’s safe to say you don’t have an ultimate gaming, movie or network setup in general if you don’t have a device like this.

Netgear ProSAFE Click 16-Port Ethernet Switch — 9/15/2015

TechPowerUp, By Staff

To wrap up, if you want a 16-port switch with a good feature set and don't have enough space for a bulky one, the GSS116E can be the solution to match your needs. It is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Netgear must be confident about its reliability over the long haul.

NETGEAR FVS336G-300 ProSafe Dual WAN Gigabit Firewall Reviewed — 9/14/2015

SmallNetBuilder, Doug Reid

Overall, the FVS336Gv3 is certainly a performance upgrade over the older FVS336G. I think the reliance on Windows'Virtual Passage SSL adapter holds the FVS336Gv3 back a bit, compared to other SSL VPN solutions, such as Open VPN. On the whole, though, the FVS336G-300 is a fast and highly configurable Dual WAN VPN Router.

Back-to-School Essentials You Didn’t Know Your Kids Needed — 9/10/2015

Aka Mom, Greer Barnes

Moms are experts when it comes to multitasking. You can take your daughter to ballet, get your son ready for fall ball practice, make a wholesome dinner, and do it all while planning the agenda for tomorrow morning’s work meeting. While you’re juggling the demands of everyday life though, your kids are trying to accomplish their own tasks as well, especially difficult and often tedious homework assignments. That’s why the Netgear Around Town Mobile Internet is such a lifesaver. While your daughter dances away at ballet practice, your son can work on all of his school assignments, including the ones that require the Web. This no-commitment 4G LTE mobile hotspot gives you high-speed Internet connection anywhere for up to ten hours. The hotspot can connect up to ten devices so everyone, including a busy mom, can take advantage of the fast connection.

Verizon launches NETGEAR Jetpack AC791L -- the carrier's first 4G LTE-A mobile hotspot — 9/10/2015

BetaNews, Brian Fagioli

While portable hotspots are a dime a dozen, many of them are unreliable and flaky. Not to mention, you can typically tether directly from your phone. Using your phone, however, can quickly drain the battery -- a separate unit is preferable. Today, Verizon announces the NETGEAR Jetpack AC791L. This is Verizon's first-ever 4G LTE Advanced (LTE-A) Mobile Hotspot. Not only is it fast, but it has other goodies too. Not to mention, NETGEAR's reliability.

Speeding up your Internet streaming — 9/8/2015

WRBL, Staff Writer (Blue = Positive enough?)

If you need to upgrade your service, it should cost only another $5 to $10 per month to get to the next speed tier. Be aware that the problem might be with the modem, which brings the signal into your house. If you’re using an older modem, replacing it with a newer model can help improve speeds. If you rent your modem, ask your Internet provider to replace it with a newer model. And if you have Wi-Fi, make sure your router is new enough. Check the manufacturer’s website under technical specs to see that it supports the 802.11n standard. If you need to upgrade your router, consider a recent Consumer Reports Best Buy, the $90 Netgear model N750.

Arlo Home Security By Netgear Review: What It Offers That Others Don’t — 9/8/2015

As Mom Sees it, Mom

I’m thankful to live where we do. Our surroundings feel much like we’re in the middle of nowhere, but we’re within a 5 minute drive of a college town with great restaurants and shopping. But, that doesn’t mean that we’re completely safe from crime and I love how our new Arlo home security system from Netgear allows us to keep an eye on the house outside, as well as what’s going on inside.

NetGear’s Arlo Home Security System – Travel With Peace of Mind #NETGEAR — 8/25/2015

Tourist Meets Traveler, Annemarie Leblanc

Since we returned home from vacation, we still use our Arlo camera system every day. We actually are doubling it as a baby monitor for when my granddaughter stays over. Whenever we hear a strange sound coming from her room, all we have to do is whip out our smart phones and we can tell exactly what she is up to. Altogether, I can honestly say that the Arlo security system has given me peace of mind – and in comparison to what it cost, it has gone above and beyond.

Gizmo Guy: We have an embarrassment of surveillance options — 8/23/2015

Philadelphia Inquirer, Jonathan Takiff

Netgear Arlo. Designed for indoor or outdoor use, this HD camera system is weatherproof and entirely "wire-free" (other WiFi wireless security-cam systems above still require AC power connections). Love the magnetic camera mounts and the free cloud backup system, saving seven days of recordings.

NETGEAR R6400 Review — 8/19/2015

HomeNetworkAdmin, Staff Writer

Overall, the Netgear R6400 is a solid choice if you’re looking for a good dual-band wireless AC router, especially considering its large range. At $150, it faces some stiff competition, but you won’t be disappointed by its performance.

How to save money on your internet cable bill! — 8/18/2015

Paul’s Tech Talk, Paul Sylvester

When I was contemplating getting internet, I decide to look for some good routers to use for my network. After much searching and looking, I found the NETGEAR N600 Dual Band Wi-Fi Router [Amazon Affiliate Link], which was in my price range and did what I wanted it to. It was rated highly on Amazon and other sites for the Parental Controls feature on the modem. I also got this for really cheap at a yard sale for about 20$, if I remember correctly. This might sound strange but I am always looking for the best deals for used electronics at yard sales. It is the best place to haggle and get what you are looking for. It however took some time to find the right modem when I went on yard sales. They can be sporadic to say the least and may not be the ones that I am looking for. I had a list of routers that I wanted to buy and had my mind set on those. It uses OpenDNS for the Parental controls and is really has a solid WEB UI to help parents set up the controls the right way!

NETGEAR EX6150 AC1200 WiFi Range Extender Reviewed — 8/18/2015

SmallNetBuilder, Tim Higgins

The EX6150 earns a SmallNetBuilder Ranked #1 award, because it had the highest results in all ranked performance categories. But given the EX6150's 2.4 GHz wonkiness, I'd also give Linksys' RE6700 a look. Although it doesn't produce the EX6150's higher 5 GHz throughput, its 2.4 GHz performance is as good or better. The RE6700 also provides a pass-through power outlet, CrossBand technology that supports simultaneous opposite-band backhaul on both bands and DLNA audio streaming.

Consumer Reports: Speeding up your Internet streaming Review — 8/17/2015

KATU via Consumer Reports, Staff Writer

And if you have Wi-Fi, make sure your router is new enough. Check the manufacturer’s website under technical specs to see that it supports the 802.11n standard. If you need to upgrade your router, consider a recent Consumer Reports Best Buy, the $90 Netgear model N750.

6 Techie Fixes to Radically Boost Your Productivity — 8/17/2015

Inc., John Brandon

Pump up your Internet speed and Wi-Fi signal: My new office will have a 200MB connection, the fastest they offer in my area. It's worth every penny of the $100 per month price tag. And, I'm using a Netgear EX7000 that also makes sure the Wi-Fi signal is as robust as possible for multiple people in an office. It's a simple design scheme. The most important piece of hardware is the heart (the laptop) but the second most important is the blood to the heart (sorry for the medical analogy). It has to be super-fast.

Review: NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Wireless Router — 8/17/2015

Technabob, Paul Strauss

At the end of the day, the main reasons most people buy a wireless router are because they want fast and reliable internet connectivity, and the NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 delivers. If you live in a multi-story house or want access in the area immediately outside your home, it’s hard to beat the Nighthawk. In my experience, I saw a dramatic improvement in speed and reliability compared to other routers I’ve owned, especially as I got further away from the router.

Top 5 Best WiFi Modem/Routers Review — 8/17/2015

Heavy, Matt Malmlund

Though you have the option to purchase a separate modem and router, combo units are usually the more affordable, convenient option. Sure, if you are trying to push online gaming to its limits, you might be better off with a quality cable modem and one of the best AC routers, but aside from that, even an average modem router can handle everyday tasks like streaming, web surfing, and uploading.

Netgear Arlo review — 8/16/2015

Techradar, Kane Fulton

Arlo's flexibility makes it easy to recommend for indoor and outdoor use. The setup has the potential to shine when multiple cameras work together around the home as part of a rules-based system, and the ability to view camera feeds in real-time is a real bonus.

Top 5 Best WiFi Signal Boosters — 8/13/2015

Heavy, Matt Malmlund

When your wireless router doesn’t reach everywhere you need it to, there are many different methods for improving signal strength. Of course, you can get better signal distribution by upgrading or relocating your router, or even bridging it with a second router, but the simplest solution by far is to plug in a WiFi signal booster. Basic signal boosters are inexpensive, can take up no less space than a Glade plugin, and are usually all you need to fill out a couple of dead zones in your house.

Synology Diskstation DS2415+ NAS — 8/12/2015

Maximum PC, Tuan Nguyen

In our previous review, we used an ASUS RT-AC87U AC2400 router for our network tests, but have since moved to a Netgear ProSAFE XS708E 10GbE switch. This will allow us to test NASes without a low bandwidth ceiling, since the XS708E supports link aggregation as well as a full 10Gbit/sec of performance on all 8 ports.

3 Wireless Security Camera Games — 8/10/2015

The Daily XY, Winston Landau

ARLO is a pretty intuitive system that, thanks to the wireless cameras, lets you get a bit creative with your home security. You could also use it to monitor your infant, your business, your elderly relatives—there are a few applications, is what we’re saying. The only real downside is that you’ll have to keep on top of the battery situation since your cameras are wireless. That hasn’t proved to be a major problem, though, so I’m thinking of setting up a sting operation to see which neighbourhood cat has been terrorising my poor lawn. Will post further updates as warranted.

Do you know what it takes to manage one of those devices? It's not difficult, and John and Dave explain all that and more for you in one easy-to-digest podcast episode!

Top 5 Best AC Routers 2015 — 8/8/2015

Heavy Magazine, Matt Malmlund

With a case reminiscent of a stealth plane, Netgear’s Nighthawk AC1900 Gigabit Router attempts to hide its bulky casing with sleek edges while offering a high-capacity AC1900 Dual-Band connection (1300Mbps over 5GHz + 600Mbps over 2.4GHz). The original R7000 Nighthawk model has since been dethroned by the Nighthawk X6 as the fastest Netgear router available, but that leaves this older model at a discounted price that nets you an excellent value for a robust Dual-Band network that can easily balance connecting light-use devices like phones with gaming consoles that practically demand their own network.

NETGEAR Trek N300 Travel Router & Range Extender Review: Free, Safe, and Reliable WIFI on the Go — 8/6/2015

Tourist Meets Traveler, Annemarie Leblac

Since I received the NETGEAR Trek N300, it has been my favorite travel companion, and I recommend it to anyone who frequents public WIFI networks. Even if you just go to the coffee shop every day and they have great internet signal, the Trek is still vital because it offers a Firewall to protect your private information from other WIFI users, and identity theft is a real thing guys! I actually have already ordered a second NETGEAR Trek for our home so that my husband and I don’t have to fight over it anymore. He set it up to connect all of his electronic gadgets and manage them on the NETGEAR App, and it drives him crazy when I leave town and take it with me. If you don’t have a NETGEAR Trek N300 yet – then I highly recommend ordering one ASAP, it will make your lives so much easier!

How To: Improve Your Network Speeds With Moca Adapters — 8/4/2015

We Got Served, Terry Walsh

Last week, I picked up a pair of NETGEAR Powerline 1200 (PLP1200-100PAS) adapters. Now, these are probably the fastest adapters you can buy today, with real world speeds (over decent cabling) around 350 Mbps. These would definitely solve my network issues! Alas, a result of just 45 Mbps confirmed that Powerline was not going to be a great solution for me – in this house anyway.

Review: Netgear Arlo Smart Home Security Camera (Vms3230) — 7/31/2015

We Got Served, Terry Walsh

Weatherproof and wire-free - the NETGEAR Arlo is convenient to install and easy to operate. You'll find all the features you need to monitor your home inside and out and while geeks may rue the lack of smart home integration support, the inherent simplicity will be loved by all. A brilliant debut that I hope extends to more smart home devices from the Arlo stable.

Network Switch 101 — 7/31/2015

Tom’s Hardware, Eric Bliss

Switches can vary greatly in the types of materials used in their construction, ranging from metal to plastic for the housing. Plastic tends to be the material of choice among lower-end models. However, companies like Netgear offer unmanaged products, such as its GS105, with metal housings. They last longer than plastic and tend to be more durable.

Netgear Nighthawk R7000 Router Review: A Better Portal — 7/24/2015

Laptop Memo, Stefan Etienne

No matter the speed of your ISP (internet service provider), it all boils down to the wireless router you have installed. Well, it turns out that FiOS Quantum in NYC comes with a mediocre dual-band router, and as a result, was not only resulting in high pings for my League of Legends sessions, but made working and watching HD and 4K content an unsavory process. Enter, Netgear’s R7000 smart router — dubbed Nighthawk or “the Batmobile router” — with enough specs to deliver high speeds throughout a three-level home.

Nighthawk AC1900 Review — 7/21/2015

The Slanted, Sean Thomas

This was easily my favorite 2-in-1 I’ve tested, not just because it was consistent but because it will allow a lot of upgrade-room for users and the Genie software makes troubleshooting or customizing a breeze.

Most parents will agree that there is nothing more important than their family’s, especially their children’s, safety. More than ever there is a demand for home security, but security doesn’t always come cheap. That’s why the Arlo Security System with 2 HD Cameras is an absolute must. For around 350 dollars you get two HD indoor/outdoor cameras, a smart home base station that connects to your WiFi router, camera mounts, and seven days of free cloud recordings.

The Arlo Security System even comes with a free app so operating your motion-alerted security system is easy and efficient.

Netgear GSS108E 8-Port Gigabit Click Switch — 7/15/2015

Legit Reviews, Ken Brown

The mounting options and cable management system that the 8-port Netgear ProSAFE (GSS108E) Click Switch has is by far what sets this switch apart from anything else on in the industry. The combination of the Click Switch’s mounting abilities, performance and ability to monitor and control network traffic is why we gave it our Recommended Award. v

NETGEAR launches the feature-packed AC1570 Smart Wi-Fi router — 7/14/2015

Tweaktown, Chris Smith

Do you remember when routers were simple units, providing maybe a single Wi-Fi antenna and 100 Mbps Ethernet? Those days are gone - long gone. Offering a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port, network management through the NETGEAR genie app and more, the NETGEAR AC1750 Smart Wi-Fi router (R6400) is designed for home use applications where Wi-Fi devices are in abundance.

Netgear expanded its portfolio of smart routers with the Netgear AC1750 Smart WiFi Router (R6400). A new design that includes high power amplifiers, external antennas and Airtime Fairness, combined with implicit and explicit Beamforming, boosts this router’s WiFi performance at long range by up to 80 percent over the previous-generation Netgear AC1750 Smart WiFi Router, the R6300. It features AC1750 WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet speeds, and three high-powered external antennas and offers up to three times faster access than routers with 802.11n technology and more reliable streaming for home computers and WiFi mobile devices

Netgear R6400 promises up to 80% boost from afar — 7/13/2015

Slash Gear, Chris Davies

Netgear has added a new smart router to its home networking line-up, with the AC1750 Smart WiFi Router R6400 promising up to 80-percent better performance at a distance. The new router, which offers 802.11ac WiFi along with backward compatibility for a/b/g/n devices, offers up to 1,750 Mbps speeds (450+1300 Mbps), at least in theory, along with simultaneous dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz use. Meanwhile there's a smartphone app for management rather than having to log into a clunky browser interface.

Building a Smart Home Series Part 6: Watching Over Your Home [#BaSH] — 7/13/2015

GStyle Magazine, Jason Anderson

The Arlo video security system is own by Netgear and I’ve tried this one out for the last several months. Arlo it pretty easy to set up as well, but does have a few more pieces to it for the process. With Arlo instead of each camera connecting to your WiFi network, a base unit connects to your network and the camera connect to the base unit. Setup was easy enough, after you connect the base to your network you connect the cameras to the base and your all good to go.

Netgear Arlo connected camera review — 7/11/2015

Enterprise-class Wi-Fi for the SMB: 15 best practices from the field — 7/9/2015

Beta News, Derrick Wlodarz

There's no need to overspend on the highest end switches out there, either. If budgets allow, going with Meraki's cloud managed switches are ideal to keep control and oversight centralized, but we routinely opt for lower cost Cisco Small Business or NETGEAR Prosafe products. Both alternatives come with lifetime warranties on the equipment just like Meraki's devices, minus the rock-solid 24/7 telephone engineering support.

From the Wirecutter: The best consumer-grade Wi-Fi extender — 7/4/2015

Ars Technica, David Murphy

After spending a total of 110 hours researching 25 different Wi-Fi extenders (and testing 10 of them), plus analyzing reviews and owner feedback, we found that the $100 Netgear EX6200 is the best Wi-Fi extender for most people right now. It costs as much as a great router and it shouldn't be the first thing you try to fix your Wi-Fi range, but it has the best combination of range, speed, flexibility, and physical connections of any extender we tested.

To wrap up, Netgear's ReadyNAS 202 packs very good performance for a home-centric NAS and is priced fairly, which nets it a very high price/performance ratio. The lack of an HDMI port will probably have some of you prefer another product for your multimedia needs; however, if data protection is your primary priority, this NAS should be at the very top of your buying list.

Ted on Tech: Bridging the Gap — 6/24/2015

Accounting Technology, Ted Needleman

At the moment, I’m using a Netgear EX7000 Nighthawk Range Extender as a bridge. It has a high output, matches the Nighthawk X6 router that I use as an access point, and was ridiculously easy to set up using WPS. Setup does require a PC, since settings are made through the Range Extender’s built-in web server, but the entire setup process took only a few minutes, and now I have both a strong Wi-Fi signal in my upstairs bedroom as well as four Ethernet ports for the few wired devices I’ve wanted to use. Netgear isn’t the only vendor to offer this type of product. D-Link, Linksys, Trend and others have them as well.

NETGEAR ReadyNAS 202 2-bay Network Attached Storage Device — 6/23/2015

Missing Remote, Andrew Van Til

CES 2015 introduced us to NETGEAR’s ReadyNAS 202/204, this network attached storage (NAS) was particularly interesting because by basing it around a 1.4GHz dual-core Cortex-A15, the underlying SoC should help alleviate once of the major concerns with ARM based devices – performance. With 2GB of RAM, two Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting various adapter bonding methods, easy “X-RAID2” setup, and a Btfrs file system supporting snapshots and "bit-rot" protection the ReadyNAS 202/204 family promises a solid platform for the SOHO (small office/home office) and media centric home. Adding in NETGEAR’s splash of “cloud” software and a robust feature set this $330/£230 MSRP (diskless) NAS could be the perfect companion for all your devices.

The smallest kit is one camera and one base system and it retails for $200. The largest is the 4-camera system I mentioned for $500 and you can add-on cameras for $160 each. Even though the Arlo system is a bit more costly than its competitors, it is really a nice, well-thought out system that works extremely well.

While we probably don’t need to bring all of our technological gadgets, we do have those that are indispensable. With all that we bring, there are items that we must have to keep it all going. Which items are the best to bring when traveling? My picks–a travel power strip, a power adaptor, and a travel router. A travel power strip is a must. As most of you probably already know, many hotels don’t necessarily have enough power outlets. So be prepared. There are new travel-ready power strips on the market that are incredibly useful. Go to Amazon and search for travel power strips. They have a nice selection. As for travel power adaptors, Maphappy, points to the Satechi Travel Router. Next they suggest the Targus World Power Travel Adapter and the Universal Travel Adapter Model 931L. Last is the travel router. According to PCWorld, “Use a travel router to connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot or a facility’s broadband connection, and it will create a private, secure, wireless network with a robust firewall.” Their top recommendations are the D-Link’s DIR-510L and Netgear’s Trek PR2000.

Netgear ReadyNAS 200 Review — 6/5/2015

Gaming Trend, Ron Burke

Whether your objective is file security, local media management, or cloud-enabled file sharing, the ReadyNAS 200 is a more than capable device. It is also one of the most robust home media storage delivery vehicles on the market, and with a few small tweaks, it could blow all of its competition away.

Tech Toys: Forget the tie, go for tech — 6/5/2015

The Vancouver Sun, Gillian Shaw

If Dad’s home is his castle, maybe he needs a moat — a digital one that is in the form of a wireless home monitoring system that lets him watch over new baby, the family dog or just home while he’s away. Arlo was just released in Canada by Netgear, giving Canadians another choice in smart home monitoring with wireless cameras and 24/7 access to video through its accompanying mobile app and instant alerts via email. The Arlo system is robust, designed to withstand temperatures ranging from -10 to 50 C and it works in the dark. Starting at $200 for one high-definition camera, up to $500 for a system with four cameras. Check it out at arlo.com. o   Also picked up by Edmonton Journal

AT&T Unite Pro — 6/4/2015

PC Magazine, Eugene Kim

The Unite Pro is a strong performer that has great appeal for demanding road warriors. The key advantages over the Velocity are its herculean battery life and dual-band broadcasts, which will be worth the $50 premium for those that spend extended time on the road or in congested wireless environments. Most typical users will find the Velocity's battery life just fine, though, and with comparable LTE speeds and Wi-Fi range, it's a slightly better value if you don't own a ton of 5GHz-enabled devices. Power users should opt for the Unite Pro, which earns our Editors' Choice award for its bevy of features.

You will love the Tri-Band WiFi technology; it can connect all of your devices at the same time. The only router capable of this is the Netgear Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router (a.k.a. Netgear R8000). This router provides three connections and has six wing-like antennas. Another feature is the ReadyShare USB.

The Best Wi-Fi Extender — 5/26/2015

The Wirecutter, David Murphy

If I needed to extend my house’s Wi-Fi signal and already had a good router, I’d get the $100 Netgear EX6200 Wi-Fi Range Extender. It’s the wireless extender we recommend for most people after putting in 110 hours of research and going hands-on with 10 extenders. It’s somewhat expensive, but it has the best combination of range, speed, flexibility, and physical connections of any extender we tested.

How to Boost Smartphone Signal For Better Reception — 5/21/2015

Gizbot, Vijaykumar Meti

The best way to improve the cell signal reception in the smartphone is to use a signal booster. The signal booster is a small device, similar to the router, used at home to enhance signal strength. The booster helps to improve the radio waves for the smartphone or acts just like a tiny base station, which helps to boost weak signals. Signal Boosters from Netgear and Wilson Electronics will enhance signals and provide decent reception for the usage.

NETGEAR Arlo Smart Home Security Camera System Reviewed — 5/20/2015

SmallNetBuilder, Scott DeLeeuw

For setup, Arlo is a huge win. It can be set up and cameras mounted anywhere within 300 feet in literally 15 minutes and requires almost no network knowledge. For motion detection, it depends on what you need. To protect a business, watch an alley, monitor a cash register or other critical security applications, I don't think Arlo works. It turns on too long after a motion trigger and may miss crucial moments of the footage. Arlo also can't integrate into an existing system, so using it with other cameras is out. On the other hand, to casually monitor a home and get notified if someone is in the front yard, Arlo would be ok. Finally, the price is a little expensive, especially considering ongoing battery cost, but the free cloud-based storage that comes with it does add value. Bottom line, if you want a video surveillance solution that's quick and easy to set up, has good image quality and don't care about precise motion detection, then Arlo is worth checking out.

GoPhone Introduces New Hotspot Device — 5/13/2015

Prepaid Reviews, Liz E.

Mobile hotspots are becoming almost as common as any other wireless device, especially in the prepaid realm. The list of prepaid mobile hotspot providers is pretty decent length, and most carriers have some sort of prepaid data plan available. Netgear and AT&T’s prepaid segment, GoPhone, recently announced that it has added a new hotspot device to the lineup, effective immediately. The AT&T Unite Express is roughly the size of a deck of cards and will fit easily into a pocket, purse or bag. It boasts a colorful and easy to read color LCD screen and comes with bot and English and Spanish language option. The AT&T Unite Express boasts up to 10 hours of battery life, 3G and 4G connectivity, a built-in wireless access point and the ability to connect up to 10 wifi compatible devices simultaneously. For your security and peace of mind, the device also allows for password protection as well as guest Wifi settings.

Review: Netgear Prosafe 8 Port click Switch (GSS108E) — 5/13/2015

We Got Served, Terry Walsh

The NETGEAR ProSAFE 8 Port Click Switch is an insightful attempt to enhance the common networking switch with improved flexibility, convenience and management features. It's equally adept at home, in the workplace or on the road and you'll love how easy it is to position and mount. While the Click Switch lacks the premium design cues of other devices in the ProSAFE range, it may well be much more useful.

Thoughtful (and Practical) Mother's Day Gifts — 5/6/2015

Parade.com, Rachel Weingarten

If your mother is part of the sandwich generation and worrying about her own parents while still doing the mom thing, consider treating her to a new high tech home security system. Whether she keeps it positioned over her front door so that you can keep an eye on her when she comes home late, or sets it up at her own mother’s house to monitor daily activities, a so called nanny cam can be monitored from your home or an app and provide incredible peace of mind. I can’t speak highly enough about the Arlo wire free home security camera. It took me about an hour total to set up at my dad’s house and helped emergency services know exactly what had happened when he took a fall last week. In theory these can cost hundreds of dollars (Arlo starts at $349.99 for 2 cameras and a home base); in practice–they’re priceless.

Easy, Wireless Home Monitoring Is Here Thanks to Arlo! — 5/1/2015

Me, Him and the Cats, Diane Walline

Overall I really love the Arlo system. The system was very easy to get set up and running. The few questions I had were easily answered by searching the community forum. It seems like every question gets answered quickly, and thoroughly. The apps send you push notifications when they detect motion according to your rules, and can even email you or whomever you choose when motion is detected. From the video library you can easily download or share videos and pictures.  You can easily change the sensitivity of motion detection, as well as the length of recorded videos from the app, or the website.

Optimizing Wireless Streaming Home Theater Components — 4/30/2015

Audio Gurus, Clint DeBoer

As with routers, you can get an inexpensive repeater and make due, but we love the Netgear EX7000 Nighthawk WiFi Range Extender. It puts out 700mW of power—all but unheard of in consumer signal extenders—and contains a dual core 1GHz processor to make sure there are no bottlenecks in processing incoming and pass-through data. This is a dual-band repeater that can either provide two-way traffic using both networks at once, or it can “lock” onto your wireless router with one band and provide the other band for connecting to wireless devices. In this way it eliminates all collisions and provides a truly clean and fast connection from your primary router to your furthest wireless devices. The flexibility and power of this particular WiFi range extender are amazing.

Netgear WAC120 Wireless Access Point Review — 4/28/2015

Storage Review, Lyle Smith

The Netgear WAC120 Wireless Access Point is a dual band 802.11ac AP designed for home and small offices that demand both performance and cost effectiveness. It supports up to collective throughput of 1.2 Gbps (300 Mbps for 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbps 802.11ac for 5 GHz) with the ability to operate in a standalone mode. Equipped with a user-friendly interface and a flexible desktop mounting stand, Netgear indicates that the WAC120 is built for easy setup, allowing users to simply connect to DSL gateway, routers, or cable modems. In addition, its Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) button gives clients an easy way for auto configuration.

Budget AC Router Roundup — 4/23/2015

Maximum PC, Paul Lilly

But are there compelling reasons to spend more on a higher-end router versus a budget model, or do they all perform pretty much the same? That’s one of the questions we set out to answer, and to do that, we rounded up five low-cost AC routers from Asus (RT-AC52U), D-Link (DIR-818LW), Buffalo (AirStation WHR-1166D), Netgear (R6100), and Trendnet (TEW-813DRU).

Netgear CM500 Cable Modem Review — 4/16/2015

StorageReviews, Lyle Smith

The Netgear CM500 is a high-speed cable modem that is certified for DOCSIS 3.0 to work with providers such as Comcast XFINITY and Time Warner Cable as well as most major cable service providers. Third party modems, such as the CM500, are becoming more and more popular as they offer customers various useful benefits, such as eliminating the monthly fee of renting/financing the provider’s modem, which can amount to roughly $10 a month in some areas. In addition, users get to choose a modem from a company with an established pedigree like Netgear instead of having to settle for what the ISP has to offer as well as the ability to have much more control over its functionality, including firmware updates, connection, and security features.

Over the years, Netgear has earned praise for its home networking products, such as routers, modems and Wi-Fi extenders. Now, the company is diving into the home security market with the Arlo, the world's only wireless and fully waterproof security camera. At $199, the Arlo is quite pricey compared to some competing cameras, but the innovative design makes it worth the cost.

Netgear Nighthawk X6 Tri-Band Gigabit Wireless Router review — 4/10/2015

LVLONE, Remdog

The Netgear Nighthawk X6 possesses a ton of features with the most cutting edge tech and an extra 5ghz band delivering a combined 3200mbps. Connections ran smoothly and little setup to none was needed to get things at pretty much optimal settings. However for the price it’s hard to say where we lie but if you’re on the fence think of it as an investment on features that might come via firmware. We’ve already received some stability via firmware and can possibly only get better from here. There is no denying aside its previous model it is one if not the most powerful home router to date.

Netgear Arlo Security System — 4/8/2015

TechPowerUp, Erasmia Grigorelli

Starting at $199.99, an Arlo kit will net you a wireless home surveillance system that takes less than 30 minutes to install. The palm-sized and waterproof camera(s) that can be placed indoors or outdoors will allow you to keep an eye on your home while away. The major downside is that you will need some extra batteries every now and then (depends on the camera(s) usage), although Netgear states that those they include potentially last up to six months. Since you will need to spend a significant amount on batteries, getting rechargeable ones makes sense; however, rechargeable batteries will not last as long since their output voltage is lower than that of non-rechargeable ones.

Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Wi-Fi Range Extender (EX7000) — 3/30/2015

PC Mag, John R. Delaney

Range extenders offer a way to provide wireless networking to those dead spots in the far corners of your house, but they have a reputation of being tricky to set up. With the Nighthawk AC1900 Wi-Fi Range Extender EX7000 ($169.99), setup is as easy as it gets, but more importantly, this dual-band extender delivers outstanding throughput on both bands. Unlike most extenders, the EX7000 is big, and it's expensive, but it's equipped with multiple connectivity ports and offers Media Server and access-control features. Its top-shelf performance and robust feature set earn it our Editors' Choice for wireless range extenders.

NETGEAR R7500 Nighthawk X4 Smart WiFi AC2350 Router — 3/26/2015

MissingRemote, Andrew Van Til

As odd as it sounds, it’s really hard to review something that just works, but that is exactly the category that the NETGEAR Nighthawk X4 AC2350 (R7500) 802.11AC Wi-Fi router falls into. It is the fastest Media Bridge and most stable router I have ever tested, and the first to provide full coverage in my house. Even the usual niggles around being too bright or “blinky”, are mostly sorted with the switch on the back -- although I do wish that the power LED could be disabled as well. Besides the problem with overriding client DNS the other issues noted are relatively inconsequential.

Should you buy the Netgear R7500 Nighthawk X4 Smart WiFi Router AC2350? If you are in the market for a new router, absolutely. It is fast, has long range and most importantly, it is stable as heck. Plus, the USB 3.0 and eSata ports will enable you to connect printers and hard drives for easy sharing. At $249, however, I can understand your potential trepidation in buying it. My reply is that you cannot put a price tag on a reliable Wi-Fi connection. Your wireless router is your gateway to the world, and nothing is more frustrating than a flaky model with dropped connections. o Article Picked Up By: Congoo, ITProPortal

For a long time this reviewer was skeptical about powerline networking, it seemed very much like a concept which would be filled with issues whether they be stability (due to varied quality of wiring) or performance.

The Courier-Journal, Gregg Ellman

There are lots of home security cameras on the market, and while I haven't tested many, the Arlo from Netgear must be the easiest to set up and get running. The cameras are battery powered, making them wireless and ready to hang anywhere or even rest on a desktop or shelf. If you choose to hang them, they have a really strong magnetic system that attaches to brackets you screw into your wall. A battery level indicator lets you know when they need to be replaced, which should be anywhere from four to six months. o Article Picked Up By: The Telegraph, Kentucky.com, The Olympian, AMCP Blog, Scoopnest, Bradenton Herald, San Luis Obispo Tribune, The Fresno Bee, The Bellingham Herald, The State, Ledger-Enquirer, Idaho Statesman, The News Tribune, BND, SunHerald, Tri-City Herald, MyrtleBeach Online, The Island Packet, LancasterOnline, News List Online, News Round, The Pueblo Chieftain

Netgear ProSAFE S3300 Series Smart Switches Review — 3/9/2015

StorageReview.com, Lyle Smith

While their portfolio of standalone Smart Switch Series is meant for SMB customers while emphasizing on high performance, the new Netgear switches are designed as an economical alternative for companies looking to move to a 10G-based network, offering the flexibility in 10-Gigabit connectivity with both copper and fiber. The S3300 Series is equipped with two dedicated SFP+ ports, which give businesses the benefit of fiber uplinks without having to forfeit any downlink Gigabit ports. They also enable redundant uplinks and provide users with the ability to build dual redundancy by a trunked uplink with link aggregation and failover redundancy. The other two dedicated ports are two 10GBaseT, which support 10G/1G/100M speeds for redundant uplinks or stacking.

Netgear Arlo Security System (VMS3230) — 2/24/2015

PC Mag, John R Delaney

Installing a home surveillance system is easier than ever thanks to the proliferation of Wi-Fi cameras, but most of these cameras still require an AC power source. This may not be an issue for indoor applications where power outlets are usually plentiful, but for outdoor usage it puts limitations on where you can place your cameras. Enter Netgear's Arlo Security System VMS3230 ($349.99), a completely wire-free home surveillance camera system that uses a pair of palm-sized, battery-powered cameras and a base station to help you track motion in and around your home and view live and recorded video from your smartphone or PC. These neat-looking cameras are a cinch to install and can be placed just about anywhere, and they deliver sharp daytime and nighttime video. However, in order to conserve power they don't offer any audio capabilities, and you can't pan and zoom on the fly.

What I saw at the visit was an incredible change in how you interact with the router setting it up and how well the new technology expands beyond my office made them an easy choice to make. What I acquired was the Nighthawk AC1900 Smart Wi-Fi Router; model R7000.

The Netgear Nighthawk X4 AC2350 Smart Wi-Fi R7500 offers up a single WiFi connection of up to 1.73Gbps (2.33 Gbps combined) at 802.11ac speeds. It packs a punch in terms of hardware, including a 1.4Ghz dual core processor, dual USB 3.0 ports, an eSATA port and 4 high-gain external antennae. It also features Dynamic QoS, which when enabled, will automatically prioritize certain types of traffic (such as Skype), ensuring solid bandwidth for the programs that really need it. The key here is versatility as you can plug it in and forget it and enjoy a nice performance boost, or you can tweak it to your specifications and find the ideal settings that work best for your needs.

Perhaps the best feature of the X6 is the dual 5GHz bands. While most of us enjoy having legacy devices, it's great to know your network won't have to suffer. The Nighthawk X6 is what I call a transition router, with legacy 2.4GHz devices having their very own band, and then having two separate 5GHz bands, allowing you to use 5GHz 802.11n, at the same time with 802.11ac, without bottlenecking the AC devices.

If your wireless networking needs aren’t as robust, the Nighthawk X6 is overkill. The Linksys WRT1900AC is faster with a single client, and it costs less. The same is true of the older Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and the Asus RT-AC68U. My opinion might change once I've had a chance to benchmark the Asus RT-AC87U, but the Nighthawk X6 is the most powerful Wi-Fi router I know of today.

Editor’s Choice: Netgear Nighthawk X6 Smart WiFi Router Review — 8/25/2014

The Slanted, John Stewart

The Nighthawk X6 optimized our entire internet experience, we have had zero issues with our internet since the change (and we had a lot of issues with our equipment failing to keep up with us in the past). It has one of the best software packages you can even find on the market today, and the tech inside will keep you at lightning speeds for years to come.

Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC 3200 Tri-Band WiFi Router Review — 8/20/2014

Legit Reviews, Ken Brown

The Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 Tri-Band router really does set a new standard in high-performing wireless routers not only giving you an extra radio to play with, but an upgraded firmware that does load balancing to keep your devices running at peak speeds. If you can afford the price tag, this is the router to buy.

NETGEAR ReadyNAS RN102 Review Part Three: Media and Overall Evaluation — 8/17/2014

Connected Digital World, Jim World

The NETGEAR ReadyNAS RN102 is a two-bay ARM-based NAS unit with excellent DLNA support, a very easy installation process and class-leading remote access without manual port forwarding. When you add in advanced time-based versioning control, support for ISCSI, RSYNC, and WordPress, you get a compelling value offer. Cloud backup is limited to ReadyVault and DropBox, though, and the lack of current Plex support detracts from an otherwise-stellar product. Overall, would I buy one? If I did not need Plex, then yes, this is an excellent NAS choice. If Plex is a requirement, I’d have to look elsewhere for now. Overall, I award the ReadyNAS RN102 a 4/5 Silver Award.

NETGEAR Router for Sprint Spark is a Welcome Alternative — 7/15/2014

eWeek, Michelle Maisto

The Netgear LTE Gateway 6100D fixed wireless router from Sprint can offer a second option for high-speed Internet access to people who want to look beyond the single ISPs serving their neighborhoods. Equipped with a 3G/4G LTE modem and able to take advantage of the Sprint Spark network—which uniquely ties together three bands of wireless spectrum, uses 2.5GHz radio heads created for the purpose and makes optimum use of Sprint's tricky spectrum holdings—the Gateway 6100D can support a small office of users or a busy household.

NETGEAR R8000 Nighthawk X6 Review: Part 2 — 8/14/2014

SmallNetBuilder, Tim Higgins

Wi-Fi has been around long enough that the "higher number on the box" should suck in only the most dewy-eyed buyers. So it should come as no surprise that the R8000 isn't likely to work miracles with your Wi-Fi range or boost throughput for individual clients. At its heart, the R8000 has the same Broadcom 3x3 AC radios that power the majority of AC1900 routers. So any range or throughput improvement will be modest, as our test results show.

Always Have a Wifi Connection With the AT&T Portable HotSpot — 8/4/2014

MomSpark, Staff Writer

Though I do travel quite a bit for work and with my family, I had never tried a portable hotspot device. I am not sure why? It wasn’t until Netgear reached out to me a few weeks before the BlogHer conference regarding a review of such device that I finally tried one out, and boy, had I wished I had done so years ago!

Netgear ReadyNAS 516 — 8/5/2014

Legion Hardware, Steven Walton

Those seeking a high performance desktop NAS need look no further than the Netgear ReadyNAS 516. Priced at $1100 the RN516 isn’t just fast it’s also very cheap when compared to the competition. As we mentioned earlier, the QNAP’s 4-bay QNAP TS-470 Pro boasts the same processor but just half the memory and two less drive bays, yet commands a price tag over $1200.

NETGEAR ReadyRECOVER Backup Solution Launched — 7/14/2014

StorageReview, Lyle Smith

NETGEAR ReadyNAS RN102 review — 7/10/2014

AndroidGuys, Scott Webster

I recently spent time with the Netgear ReadyNAS RN102, a 2-bay connected device that functions as a personal cloud. With up to 8TB of storage, it’s certainly enough space to hold music, movies, photos, and other media. And, given the numerous ways in which we can now cast our media to a television, I’ve fallen fast in love with the device.

Time For Another Upgrade? NETGEAR Debuts AC3200 Nighthawk — 6/25/2014

SmallNetBuilder, Tim Higgins

NETGEAR has announced the first AC3200 router. The R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band WiFi Router is no longer a rumor. It's the first router based on Broadcom's XStream platform announced only in two months ago, beating ASUS' RT-AC3200 announced a few weeks ago at Computex

The Best Wi-Fi Router (for Most People) — 6/15/2014

The Wirecutter, David Murphy

If you have a laptop or smartphone that uses wireless-ac technology and you're ready to upgrade your router, you should get the Netgear R6250. The R6250 has the best combination of speed, price, stability, and features of any router in its price range. It can make your new device's Wi-Fi connection up to three times faster than a wireless-n router could. It's a smidge more expensive than the sweet spot for a router of its class (hovering around $130-$145 on Amazon), but we feel the benefits are worth the slightly higher cost.

NETGEAR ReadyNAS 312, 314 & 316 — 6/2/2014

Legion Hardware, Steve Walton

Overall the Netgear ReadyNAS 31x series is well priced, offers excellent build quality, provides loads of features and performs well. Users do need to be aware of the write performance trade off that the BTRFS file system seems to bring and if the added data integrity is worth it. Finally we look forward to following future Netgear releases and hope they continue to work hard on their ReadyNAS operating system.

NETGEAR EX6200 AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender Review — 5/29/2014

Tweak Town, Tyler Bernath

Pushing through the build quality to performance, I found the EX6200 to be one of the best performing solutions I have had come through the lab. It's far superior to the REA20 because it simply works. In testing, we were able to connect and setup the extender with ease thanks to the Netgear Genie, and 2.4GHz performance allowed us to connect around 150Mbps, while 5GHz allowed 585Mbps, though we did see the full 867Mbps a few times when we were closer to the extender.

NETGEAR C3700 Cable Modem Router — 5/23/2014

PCMag, Samara Lynn

If you take the excellent Netgear C3000 Cable Modem Router and replace its router with the impressive Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router (WNDR3700), you get Netgear's C3700 Cable Modem Router ($129.99). Generally, I recommend going with a dedicated wireless router even when using a modem/router combo, but the C3700 is the lone exception. This is the only combo modem and router I've tested that could make adding a dedicated wireless router unnecessary for all homes, save for those with heavy video-streaming, gaming, or advanced Wi-Fi needs.

NETGEAR Releases New Wi-Fi Devices for Simple Internet Access — 5/20/2014

The VAR Guy, Micheal Cusanelli

NetGear (NTGR) is looking to make installing and deploying centralized Wi-Fi easier than ever with the release of its new ProSAFE WC7600 centralized management console and the ProSAFE WN370 access points.

NETGEAR AC750 WiFi Range Extender (EX6100) — 5/20/2014

PC Mag, Samara Lynn

Netgear's AC750 WiFi Range Extender (EX6100) ($89.99) was released about the same time as the pricier Netgear AC1200 WiFi Range Extender (EX6200). The EX6100 is lower-priced because it's not as feature-packed (nor does it offer the same hardware specs) as the EX6200, which won our Editors' Choice award for Wi-Fi range extenders.

NETGEAR Adds New Wi-Fi Controller, Access Point for Schools — 5/19/2014

The Journal, Leila Meyer

We were really pleased with the simplicity and performance of the EX6100. The device is able to support two WiFi networks simultaneously, 2.4GHz and 5GHz, not unlike most routers available on the market today.

NETGEAR ReadyNAS 102 Dual-bay NAS — 5/12/2014

Tech Gage, Greg King

It’s been quite some time since we last checked out one of NETGEAR’s NAS offerings, so we’re going to use the ReadyNAS 102, a dual-bay offering, to help us get up to speed. Unlike the last ReadyNAS we looked at, the 102 features OS 6, and one of our favorite, understated features: Btrfs support.

The 9 Most Compelling Features of the Netgear AC1900 Nighthawk 5Ghz Smart WiFi Router — 5/8/2014

GadgetReview, Shawn Sanders

The AC1900 labeling means the Nighthawk can support physical tethered link rates up to 1300 mbps via the 5Ghz radio utilizing 802.1ac network standard. Yet it can simultaneously achieve 600 mbps with its 2.5hz radio using the older 802.11n. Note this is considerably higher than 450 mbps of older 2.6hz 802.11n solutions. In addition to the speed, here’s a quick rundown of the 9 most compelling features of the Netgear AC1900 Nighthawk 5Ghz Smart WiFi Router.

NETGEAR STS7000 is a tablet geared for home security — 4/24/2014

Android Community, Juan Carlos Torres

Most tablets are created for content consumption and games, but NETGEAR and smart home specialist iControl have something different in mind. While the NETGEAR STS7000 still has some features you'd expect from an Android tablet, it's raison d'être is being a gateway to a home security system and more.

Netgear first to support BitTorrent Sync on NAS — 4/16/2014

SlashGear, Shane McGlaun

BitTorrent Sync is a feature that was announced a while back that is designed to be a cloud-like storage device that lets the user sync files across multiple devices. These files don’t have a home on the web like most cloud storage services, rather the files are shared across all your devices. BitTorrent has announced a new twist for BitTorrent Sync.

BitTorrent Sync Now Works With Network Storage — 4/15/2014

Gizmodo, Marlo Agullar

Until today, though, you've only been able to use the BitTorrent Sync App with mobile devices and your computer. Now, you'll be able to use it with NAS as well, which makes a lot of sense because if you've got so much data that the cloud is inconvenient, you're likely to need some networked storage for backup. At launch, NetGear will be the first partner, with support starting immediately, but BitTorrent told us that they'll have more partners soon.

BitTorrent Sync Now Supports Network Attached Storage Devices — 4/15/2014

Ubergizmo, Adnan Farooqui

Netgear Nighthawk Review: The Smart Router You Need — 3/22/2014

TechnoBuffalo, Roy Choi

I’ll be honest and reveal that I have been using the standard wireless router that my cable company provided when I signed up with them. For the most part it gets the job done. Or so I thought it did. However there are some spotty locations that just don’t get the full robustness of the interwebs and all it has to offer. Case in point would be the living room, which ironically has an issue with constant connectivity and consistent speeds. A pretty big bummer when you’re trying to stream content off of Netflix, Hulu or any other streaming service. So I’d have to suffer through many moments of buffering or recalibrating video quality, I was living like a caveman (albeit a caveman with high speed Internet).

Netgear Nighthawk R7000 AC1900 Smart Wi-Fi Router Review — 3/22/2014

TweakTown, Tyler Bernath

When it comes to wireless routers, most of us just want something with ample performance that we don't have to constantly reset when network traffic gets a little heavy. For myself, I have been through many routers that have had this problem and--for the first few times at least--you think it's just a bug in the firmware that may go away and the router will live a happy life on your desk, shelf, or wherever. After a short while, the router may act up again leaving you looking for another solution that just works.

Netgear Nighthawk R7000 AC1900 Wireless Router Review — 3/21/2014

Legit Reviews, Ken Brown

Today we look at Netgear’s flagship dual-band router, the Nighthawk R7000. Legit Reviews has been evaluating Wireless-AC devices for a number of years and has put off upgrading from what we think is currently the best overall router, the Netgear R6300. While not the absolute fastest, nor the most customizable, the Netgear R6300 has been a rock-solid device that has never let us down with wireless drops or general reliability. While we absolutely love the R6300, the Nighthawk R7000 looks to make a huge step forward in performance and thus out interest in evaluating the device today.

Netgear AC1200 WiFi Range Extender (EX6200) — 3/13/2014

PCMag, Samara Lynn

Netgear's AC1200 WiFi Range Extender (EX6200) is an excellent piece of hardware despite a few software hiccups after a firmware update. Five Gigabit Ethernet ports and a USB 3.0 port make this extender a winning proposition

Netgear ProSAFE XS708E 10 Gigabit Switch Review — 3/11/2014

TweakTown, Chris Ramseyer

Netgear calls the XS708E the world's first SMB switch with 10 gigabit connectivity, but we think it's much more than that. Virtualization is on the rise in many market segments, and the low price mixed with the features offered make this product attractive for many markets. It's difficult to get away from talking about the price because regardless of everything else, this switch is clearly the market leader at this time. Other companies have started to talk about low cost 10GbE SMB products, but Netgear has already delivered.

Review: Netgear WN203 Wins On Performance, Simplicity, Cost — 2/21/2014

CRN, Edward Correia

With technology as complex as networking, the simplest solution is often the best. That's what we found when testing the WN203 ProSafe Single-Band Wireless N access point from Netgear. About the size of a paperback, the WN203 mounts easily on a ceiling, wall or table, connects with a single Power-over-Ethernet cable and can be set up in just a few minutes through Netgear's browser-based management pages or the included setup utility.

Its ReadyDATA series of storage systems targets the small- to medium-sized business (SMB) and mid-size enterprise owner. Billed as enterprise-class storage, it is less expensive and easier to use than traditional enterprise offerings. In May 2013, NETGEAR expanded the portfolio with the introduction of the ReadyDATA 516—the first in the network attached storage (NAS) family in desktop form.

NETGEAR @ CES 2014 — 1/14/2014

Missing Remote, Andrew Van Til

NETGEAR didn’t have a ton to show in the consumer space at CES, but they did have two very interesting 802.11AC range extenders on hand and their Trek travel router on hand. There are a few things that make these devices interesting. First off, until now if you wanted to bridge an 802.11AC network it required two routers - like the NETGEAR R7000. Having a specialized product cuts the cost down dramatically, the two stream AC750 should cost $90 and the three stream AC1200 will run $129. More importantly, both of these devices are two radio extenders – meaning that there are discrete radios for send and receive so bandwidth won’t be halved.

Netgear, Facebook Partner on WiFi for Small Businesses — 1/13/2014

Multichannel News, Jeff Baumgartner

Las Vegas – International CES 2014 -- Netgear is the latest CE vendor to throw its hat into the emerging market of HDMI-connect set-top sticks. Netgear, follling a path blazed by devices such as the Google Chromecast, Sony Bravia Smart Stick and the Roku Streaming stick, has launched the NeoMediacast HDMI Dongle, a device with on-board 802.11ac WIFi and 1080p/60 HD decoding that will initially hit the market in the first half of 2014 with support for the Android app platform.

GigaOM, Janko Roettgers

Honey, they shrunk the cable box: Netgear introduced a new TV dongle called the NeoMediacast, also known as NTV300D, at CES Monday that seems partially inspired by Google’s Chromecast. The NTV300D is going to be sold to pay TV operators, who may lease or resell it to their customers.

Polygon Gift Guide: Gear — 12/22/2013

Polygon, Arthur Gies

A good router is a great investment (and a great gift) for just about anybody that plays games, and this is where Netgear's recently released Nighthawk comes in. It's got a powerful set of three antennas that will increase range and connection speeds in just about any location, including apartment buildings full of competing wireless signals. It also lets you prioritize gaming traffic on your network at the touch of a button, and it's got 802.11AC for some point in the future when devices that support this faster standard become more widespread.

Netgear ReadyNAS 104 Four Bay Consumer NAS Review — 12/18/2013

TweakTown, Tyler Bernath

Typically, home users have been subjected to very few, true performance NAS products. If you wanted true performance, you had to reach a little deeper into your pocket, and pull out a bit more of that hard earned money. With Netgear being an industry leader in network storage solutions, it seems only fitting that they would offer top to bottom storage solutions for every sector of the market. Today, on this crisp winter morning, we will be looking over the Netgear ReadyNAS 104.

NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Smart Wi-Fi Router (R7000) – Specs, Features, and Everything You Need to Know (Review) — 12/12/2013

Online Gadget Store, Heidi Speare

Netgear is on the cutting-edge of pioneering new generation Wi-Fi standard that would transfigure high-end Wi-Fi routers. Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 a Smart Wi-Fi Router received its final consent from IEEE standards for 802.11ac wireless networking, creating a benchmark for delivering prodigious features and performance leaving miles away the 802.11n gear. Isn’t this really gripping?

Netgear ProSAFE XS712T L2+ 10GbE Switch Review — 12/11/2013

TweakTown, Chris Ramseyer

Ever since the Taiwanese NAS manufactures included 10GbE capabilities to their products, I've been in the 10GbE network market. Until now your options were limited to enterprise, expensive paired with lucky, or enterprise paired with more expensive. Searching the used market is little help. Early 10GbE came from a connector called CX4. Just as with gigabit Ethernet, fiber brought 10GbE out of the largest data centers, but fiber can be expensive since each end takes an optical transceiver. The natural progression is to copper lines, but it takes time for technology to move from the top down.

Netgear ReadyNAS 516 6-Bay NAS Review — 12/9/2013

TweakTown, Chris Ramseyer

If you are a regular reader of NAS reviews at TweakTown, then you wouldn't know that Netgear sells more NAS products than any other company. The reason why is because this is the first Netgear NAS we've ever tested at TweakTown. Yes, it does seem odd, especially since the Infrant Technology, the NAS maker Netgear acquired to develop the Netgear NAS program, sponsored the second NAS I ever reviewed prior to the May 2007 acquisition. Over the years, we've reached out to Netgear but never had any luck getting ReadyNAS products in for review. That's changed now. Today we look at the Netgear ReadyNAS 516, a business class unit with flagship level specifications.

Level Up Your Wireless Network with Netgear — 12/4/2013

Geek Dad, Zed

I can scarcely remember a time when I didn’t own a Netgear wireless router. It’s not that I’m brand-loyal, mind you, but rather because Netgear always seemed to have a solid enough product in my usually meager price range. So suffice it to say that when I was offered a chance to check out their new Nighthawk AC1900 – a dual-band gigabit router that retails for around $250 – as a part of the recently launched Netgear Ambassador Program, I was intrigued but skeptical.

NETGEAR ReadyNAS RN102 Review — 11/28/2013

Slashgear, Brittany Hillen

Netgear revealed its ambitious network storage plans early this year, rolling out the red carpet for an eventual launch of a handful of ReadyNAS units that would complement the ReadyNAS Duo v2 that we reviewed in 2011. We got our hands on one of these new units, the ReadyNAS RN102, a 2-bay connected device that offers up to 8TB of storage, which places it a step below the similarly-launched RN104. At about the same price of the Duo v2, the RN102 takes things up a notch in the hardware department, but is it ultimately worth the upgrade?

11 cool tech gifts this holiday season — 11/26/2013

New York Daily News, Samuel Ebenezer

This one’s for the gamer in your life. The Nighthawk WiFi router is hardly attractive (it’s way too big and bulky), and it doesn’t deliver great performance over the 2.4 gHz bandwidth. However, it’s built for gamers, with Quality-of-Service settings that easily let you tweak your network to show preference to gaming streams or video streams. It’s an easily customizable WiFi unit that’s perfect for geeks and Internet control freaks who like to micromanage priorities and settings. Best of all, the interface makes it all simple and easy to set up. And any router dubbed the “Nighthawk” has to be kind of cool, right?

Next-gen Routers are here with Netgear's Nighthawk — 10/1/2013

Polygon, Arthur Gies

After five days with the Nighthawk, I'm ready to put down the 200 dollars. First, back to my appointment. Netgear put together an impressive and at times exhausting presentation. The Nighthawk is designed for "gaming, streaming, and mobile connections," per their slide show. The new router is what Netgear is calling AC 1900 — meaning that in addition to the 1300mbps speeds of the 802.11ac standard, it's also packing a more powerful 802.11n radio that supports up to 600mbps (twice as much as my current router, the aforementioned E3000). As important is the processing power inside of the Nighthawk, according to Harpalani: a 1Ghz dual core processor and 256MB of RAM. These specs allow for the Nighthawk's main selling point: quality of service prioritization for games and streaming media.

Netgear ProSafe Plus XS708E 10GbE Switch Review — 5/31/2013

By Kevin O’Brien

The Netgear ProSafe Plus XS708E 10GbE switch is part of a new family of ProSafe switches that are designed for SMBs to address the concerns of both enormous network traffic growth and the increasing performance capabilities of networked storage. Most storage arrays are sold with 10GbE these days either standard or as a reasonably priced option and 10GbE is likewise gaining traction in the server market. While gigabit Ethernet remains the standard, the benefits of 10GbE are immense, but a long time stumbling block has been the capital investment in equipment to support the interconnect, especially for small businesses.

By Sean Kalinich

When we first saw that the NETGEAR A6200 was a USB 2.0 device we were concerned about performance. After all there is a limit to how much data you can push through a USB 2.0 port. Sadly this limit is below what 802.11ac is capable of. We were glad to see that even with that limitation you still get great performance and with fairly small price tag.

By Doug Reid

The M4100 carriers NETGEAR's lifetime warranty, which gives me confidence in the reliability of a network device. I've been using NETGEAR switches for years and haven't had one fail yet.

I recommend you consider NETGEAR's M4100 switches if you're looking to aggregate and route inter-VLAN traffic on your network!

NETGEAR XS708E ProSafe Plus 10GbE Switch — 4/29/2013

By Bruce Normann

There are other 10GbE models in the ProSAFE product line that have more capabilities than the XS708E, more ports, more management features, etc. and they all push the price/performance line down from where it was. The XS708E has the potential for making the biggest impact though, because the price is so attractive. The barrier to implementing 10GbE in your SMB is virtually gone, as of now.

By Jon Fingas

Although Netgear was one of the quickest out of the gates with 802.11ac WiFi hardware, that doesn't mean its hardware is the quickest today: without beamforming to optimize the signal, it risks trailing behind newcomers who've had more time to prepare. Starting with the R6300 router and A6200 USB adapter, the company will soon catch up through a firmware update that rolls in support for the beamforming standard.
