NETGEAR Ships “The Ultimate Networking Machine” for Gamers, Media Enthusiasts and Small Businesses

Award-winning Router Offers Consumers and Small Businesses Blazing Performance and the Most Advanced Feature Set in the Industry Today

SAN JOSE, Calif. – September 1, 2009 – NETGEAR, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR), a worldwide provider of technologically innovative, branded networking solutions, today announced the availability of its RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router (WNDR3700), a networking device that sets a new bar for the industry in terms of advanced features, speed and range.

The RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router is packed with unique features like ReadyShare for high-speed access to a USB hard drive from any device on the network, broadband usage metering, Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) support and video Quality of Service (QoS). Its extreme performance – with a 680 MHz processor, 500 Mbps WAN to LAN speeds and 350 Mbps real-world maximum wireless throughput – is vital for online gaming, high-definition video streaming and secure, large data transfers, making it the ultimate centerpiece for any advanced home or small business network.

Winner of a “Best of Innovations” award at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show, NETGEAR’s RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router is one of the first consumer routers to be compatible with DLNA-certified products. This feature enables media enthusiasts and gamers to easily stream digital content to new DLNA-compliant HDTVs and gaming consoles. Additionally, NETGEAR is pioneering broadband usage metering in a series of its products; the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router is the first to include this feature. This enables consumers to accurately monitor their usage of download traffic in a given time period so they can easily stay within the limits designated by their Internet Service Provider (ISP).

The RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router will be a highlight of NETGEAR’s booth at IFA, one of the world’s largest consumer electronics trade shows, taking place September 4-9 in Germany. NETGEAR’s booth will be located in Hall 15.1/116 of the Messe Berlin Exhibition Grounds.

“Today’s wireless networks are simultaneously supporting multiple bandwidth-hungry applications – online gaming in the kids’ rooms, high-definition video streaming in the family room, and file sharing and Voice over IP across the home or business. As a result, it’s become imperative for wireless networks to have features that enhance the overall consumer experience while delivering the fastest speed, highest reliability and maximum range that today’s applications demand,” stated Som Pal Choudhury, NETGEAR’s senior product line manager for advanced wireless products. “Therefore, we’re thrilled to offer our home and small business customers the power and flexibility of such a full-featured router, packed with state-of-the-art technology. It’s the ultimate networking machine.”

Powerful Processor
The RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router’s powerful 680 MHz MIPS processor – one of the highest in the consumer router category today – enables gamers and media enthusiasts to run multiple bandwidth-intensive applications simultaneously.

Simultaneous Dual Band
Dual band technology enables concurrent use of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, offering twice the bandwidth with better connections and less interference. In fact, the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router yields real-world Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) throughput of up to 350 Mbps combined, faster than any other consumer router available today. Additionally, the router’s eight ultra-sensitive, internal, metamaterial antennas are fine-tuned for each frequency band, delivering extended range beyond competing routers.

Ultra-fast Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Built-in gigabit Ethernet ports ensure ultra-high wired performance, with up to 500 Mbps WAN to LAN speeds — twice the speed of competing routers.

ReadyShare USB Storage Access
ReadyShare provides fast and easily-shared access to external USB storage devices. Simply plugging a USB drive into the router provides super-fast read/write wireless access from any PC on the network. Additionally, multiple file formats are supported (e.g., FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, EXT2, EXT3) as is HTTP and FTP access from outside the home or office.

ReadyDLNA
With integrated DLNA functionality, the NETGEAR router acts as a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) media server and automatically discovers media files on the USB hard drive. The media content stored on the USB hard drive connected to the router can be easily viewed and played by the NETGEAR Digital Entertainer Elite (EVA9150) as well as DLNA-enabled televisions and set-top boxes, such as XBox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Enterprise-class Security
The router incorporates enterprise-class wireless security with Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise) encryption that keeps data secured for businesses, and Push ‘N’ Connect that helps users connect easily and securely with the press of a button. Additional Wi-Fi networks can also be created for visitors to the home or office with restricted access to the local network.

Broadband Usage Meter
With the integrated broadband usage meter, users can not only view daily, weekly and monthly usage statistics on download traffic, but also get customized notifications when they are close to the monthly limit designated by their ISP.

Quality of Service
The RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router features fine-tuned QoS algorithms for video that reduce packet loss and jitter and enable seamless streaming of HD video over Wi-Fi for the serious media enthusiast. Support for a high number of simultaneous connections and QoS via efficient packet processing also enable lag-free online gaming.

Green Features
Three adjustable power and range settings on the router can reduce wireless transmit power by up to 75 percent compared to when the router is transmitting at full power. The auto-sensing gigabit Green switch automatically adjusts power consumption based on cable length and unused ports. Also, when Wi-Fi is not in use, turning these ports off via the dedicated wireless on/off switch reduces power by up to 30 percent.

“Many ISPs are beginning to set and lower limits for how much their subscribers are allowed to download each month, not to mention charging for overages. Therefore, it’s becoming increasingly important for people to be aware of how much total bandwidth they are consuming – not only on their PCs, but also on connected devices like iPhones and gaming consoles,” said Joyce Putscher, principal analyst from In-Stat, a market research firm. “It makes good business sense to offer routers that not only facilitate the seamless streaming of data across the network, but also enable measuring of Internet bandwidth usage so consumers can more easily stay within acceptable limits.”

NETGEAR’s RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router (WNDR3700) is now available worldwide through leading retailers, e-commerce sites and value-added resellers. The router is backed by a one-year warranty and 24/7 technical support and has an MSRP in the U.S. of $189.99. For maximum throughput, NETGEAR recommends the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router be used with a matching dual band wireless-N device such as the NETGEAR 5 GHz Wireless-N HD Access Point/Bridge (WNHDE111) or the NETGEAR RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N USB 2.0 Adapter (WNDA3100).

Photos, product specifications, and a video on the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router can be found on the NETGEAR web site at http://www.netgear.com/WNDR3700.

The Netgear MoCA networking kit allows you to create a wired network with existing coax cable in your house. ZatzNotFunny has a hands on with the kit and the results are good. Setup was fairly simple. I didn’t realize that you could put the MoCA kit between the wall and the TV and the TV signal will pass through. He got an average of 68 Mbps which is plenty for HD content. The price for the MoCA kit is around $200. I think it’s the best alternative to ethernet and better than the PowerLine setup.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – August 10, 2009 – NETGEAR, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR), a worldwide provider of technologically innovative, branded networking solutions, today announced the availability of its latest powerline networking kit for turning electrical power outlets into high-speed Internet and home network connections. As a 2009 CES Innovations Award winner, NETGEAR’s Home Theater Internet Connection Kit (XAVB1004) makes it possible to connect multiple Ethernet-enabled entertainment devices – such as gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, HDTVs and media streaming set-top boxes – to the Internet and the home network simultaneously. Through a high-speed powerline connection of up to 200 Mbps, this powerline kit enables high-performance applications such as HD video streaming, Voice over IP (VoIP), Internet gaming and large file transfers to networked devices in the home theater.

The kit contains one Powerline AV Adapter with 4-port Ethernet Switch (XAV1004) and one Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter (XAV101). This “no new wires” powerline technology enables customers to carry high-speed data network traffic on their existing electrical wiring – using affordable, simple to install adapters. Additionally, advanced energy management capabilities provide automatic port- and device-level sleep modes and wake-on-activity functionality to reduce overall energy usage. The kit also incorporates several ease-of-use features: port-based Quality of Service (QoS) to ensure that the highest priority applications are allocated more bandwidth; Push-N-Secure to secure the Powerline AV network with the push of a button; and Pick-a-Plug, a multi-color LED to determine the strength of the powerline connection without having to look at a computer.

“Powerline has become more and more popular because of the growth of networked devices in the living room, and the high speeds and reliability that they require,” said Chris Geiser, NETGEAR’s product line manager for in-home distribution, consumer products. “We are now finding that customers have multiple networked devices in their living rooms that all need to be connected at the same time, making a 4-port switch at one end of the connection key. That is why NETGEAR has developed this powerline AV adapter kit with 4-port switch, Quality of Service features, and color-coded LEDs that easily display the strength of the powerline connection.”

NETGEAR’s Home Theater Internet Connection Kit is perfect for anyone who wants to extend their home network range, especially those who use Internet-connected devices that demand high bandwidth, such as NETGEAR’s Digital Entertainer Elite (EVA9150; http://netgear.com/Products/Entertainment/DigitalMediaPlayers/EVA9150.aspx), Blu-ray Disc Players, TiVo, AppleTV, Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 3, DVR, Home Theater PC and Ethernet-enabled TVs. Easy to install, consumers simply plug the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter (XAV101) into the router and connect up to four Ethernet-ready devices to the Powerline AV Adapter with 4-port Ethernet Switch (XAV1004).

The Home Theater Internet Connection Kit eliminates the need to add an external switch for connecting additional devices to the network by integrating a 4-Port Fast Ethernet (10/100) switch. The product is also the first 4-port powerline switch to use the Intellon 6400 chipset, which provides higher performance than any existing 4-port powerline switch on the market. Because it is based on the HomePlug AV standard, the Powerline AV Adapter with 4-Port Ethernet Switch (XAV1004) and Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter (XAV101) are compatible with – and can easily and affordably extend – any existing HomePlug AV network.

“Networked entertainment center devices and systems have been experiencing high growth in recent years,” said Joyce Putscher, principal analyst for In-Stat. “No longer just for the wealthy, these solutions are in demand by average consumers, who want high definition content. Therefore, home theater products need constant, shared and faster access to the Internet and the home network. High-speed powerline offers an ideal solution for consumers who have challenges with wireless connectivity in certain parts of their homes, and the addition of a 4-port switch enables simultaneous connectivity to multiple devices in the same location.”

NETGEAR’s Home Theater Internet Connection Kit (XAVB1004) is now available worldwide through leading retailers, e-commerce sites and value-added resellers. The kit is backed by a one-year warranty and 24/7 technical support. The Home Theater Internet Connection Kit (XAVB1004), containing one Powerline AV Adapter with Ethernet Switch (XAV1004), one Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter (XAV101), two Ethernet cables, one AC power cord, an installation guide and a set-up CD, has an MSRP in the U.S. of $179.99. Additional NETGEAR Powerline AV devices, including the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter (XAV101), Powerline AV Adapter with Ethernet Switch (XAV1004), and Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit (XAVB101) – winner of PC Magazine’s Editor’s Choice Award – can extend an existing Powerline AV network and have an MSRP in the U.S. of $69.99, $99.99, and $149.99 respectively.
