At that time, NETGEAR became the first networking solutions provider to bring more affordable 10GBASE-T solutions to user networks. NETGEAR 10-Gigabit switch solutions combine the latest advances in hardware and software engineering for higher availability, lower latency and power consumption, and stronger security. They alleviate performance bottlenecks and enable easier and smoother deployment of services on the same converged platform, in spite of unpredictable bandwidth demands relating to new technologies such as virtualization, cloud-based services, and applications such as VoIP, video streaming and IP surveillance.

“Buyers are shifting toward switches with advanced capabilities, such as enhanced management, PoE, and higher speeds, to accommodate increasing demands on networks,” said Machowinski. “In the SMB market, this is creating a shift from unmanaged to web-managed switches. As a well-known brand with an extensive smart switch portfolio, NETGEAR is well positioned to take advantage of these shifts.”

Compatible with next-generation WiFi devices and backward compatible with 802.11 a/b/g/n devices, the AC1750 Smart WiFi Router enables HD streaming throughout your home. High-powered amplifiers, three external antennas and Beamforming+ improve range and reliability to extend coverage and reduce dead spots for large homes. With up to 1750Mbps* speeds (450+1300 Mbps) and simultaneous dual band WiFi technology (2.4GHz for range and 5GHz for performance), this router avoids wireless interference, ensuring top WiFi speeds and reliable connections for all your mobile devices. Airtime Fairness prevents network lag when slower devices connect. Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) automatically recognizes and prioritizes applications for smoother HD video streaming and low-latency multi-player online gaming.

“Having multiple standalone access points is no longer feasible as configuration changes become routine rather than occasional. However, for some organizations, the jump to a managed wireless LAN network can become demanding and overly complex for both IT budgets and IT resources,” said Peter Newton, senior director of product management for the NETGEAR Commercial Business Unit.

Cable Internet bandwidth is shared with other cable subscribers in your neighborhood, so with your existing cable modem router from your ISP you may see decreased performance during peak usage times. But the ability of the Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi Cable Modem Router to support 24 download bonded channels simultaneously means that you have a bigger "pipe" for data traffic as compared to your neighbors with only four download bonded channels. As a result, you should receive the committed bandwidth of your service tier even during peak hours.

The dual-core 1GHz processor that powers Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router boosts wireless, wired, and USB performance. Nighthawk takes full advantage of the world's fastest AC WiFi technology that's already built into your latest mobile devices, while still backward compatible with 802.11 a/b/g/n devices. Within the home or local network, Nighthawk delivers incredibly fast wireless up to 1.9Gbps (AC1900 WiFi = 600+1300Mbps*) and Gigabit Ethernet speeds. High-powered amplifiers, three external antennas and Beamforming+ improve range and reliability to extend coverage and reduce dead spots even in very large homes. Its simultaneous dual band WiFi technology (2.4GHz for range and 5GHz for performance) avoids wireless interference.

With its convenient wall-plug design for easy placement, the AC750 WiFi Range Extender offers dual band WiFi up to 750Mbps* and external antennas for better performance. The AC750 WiFi Range Extender is compatible with any router and leverages NETGEAR FastLane™ technology, which uses two WiFi bands simultaneously to establish one super-fast wireless connection that is ideal for HD video streaming and gaming on any device in any location of your home, even one with a large floor plan.

“Our newest mobile hotspot is an easy-to-use device that our customers can simply turn on and connect, without adjusting settings,” said Judy Cavalieri, vice president, AT&T voice and prepaid products. “NETGEAR has designed our AT&T Unite Express with the intuitive setup and the outstanding experience that meets our high standards for quality. We’re also happy to offer our Spanish-speaking customers an optional Spanish language interface to make using the hotspot even easier.”

“Powerline has become an increasingly popular networking solution because of the explosive growth in connected AV devices, and the high speeds and reliability required to support demanding applications such as HD video streaming and online gaming,” said Oleg Fishel, the product line manager for NETGEAR Powerline. “With powerline technology, you can take advantage of your existing electrical outlets in every room and don’t need to run new wires to get fast, uninterrupted access to the Internet and the home network.”

You’ll also benefit from the unique capabilities of the NETGEAR genie® app. The user-friendly NETGEAR genie, already enjoyed by more than 5 million NETGEAR customers worldwide, is your personal dashboard that makes it easy to install, monitor, control and repair your home network. You can easily access your home network, view the network map, check bandwidth usage, block WiFi devices, set up guest WiFi, and manage parental controls for safer web surfing, anytime, anywhere, all through the app. The NETGEAR MyMedia™ feature enables you to find and play your stored media files from anywhere on your network to your DLNA®-ready TVs and music system. You can also make any printer AirPrint® compatible for printing from an iPad or iPhone.
