CES 2013 Google TV integration, live TV support and the Slingplayer app give Netgear an edge over the all-in-one media streaming competition.

This 802.11ac draft router is a behemoth. It uses the same Broadcom 4360 chipset as the Buffalo AirStation 1750, so will it work any better?

We describe the ASUS RT-N56U dual-band router as feeling like two routers in one, but the Netgear RangeMax DGND3300 feels like one-and-a-half.

The well known router workhorse gets a refresh

Home Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices are at last becoming sleek enough for people to want to use in their home. Netgear has worked wonders with this tidy-looking 500GB device, which can be expanded to 1TB.

Exclusive The world of wireless is in flux. The 802.11n standard is all but finalised and the demand for longer ranges and stability has been testing even the very biggest manufacturers. Thankfully, leading Wi-Fi kit manufacturer Netgear has the answer: dual-band wireless N. It’s fast, stable, secure and a doddle to set up.

This Netgear 'digital entertainer' isn't exactly pioneering. It's been three years since we had streaming of audio and pictures over 802.11b and two years since the first video streamers...

It's a sign of the times that 802.11n has taken so long to limp towards ratification that there is a fair amount of Draft-n hardware on sale that is getting rather long in the tooth.
