Netgear makes all sorts of routers for wireless networks and has been offering products for a long time based on draft-n technology. Now that the IEEE has finally ratified the 802.11n specifications we are seeing new products come to market without that draft n caveat. Netgear announced today the new Rangemax Wireless-N Gigabit Router with USB WNR3500L.
We have talked about the Netgear ReadyNAS unified network storage solution before. In fact, we spied the device back at IFA last month and it looked ready for business use with its hot swap bays and geeky good looks. Netgear has announced the ReadyNAS is now certified for an important business function.
Netgear have unveiled their latest home storage device, the Stora, which the company is positioning not only as a NAS backup but as a media-sharing hub. The Netgear Stora takes two 3.5-inch SATA drives and connects via gigabit ethernet; there are also two USB 2.0 ports for sharing printers or plugging in external drives. What makes it special, though, is its social network and device integration.
Netgear have announced their latest networked media box, the EVA2000 Digital Entertainer Live, which allows for both locally-streamed and IPTV content to be shown on your big-screen TV. The EVA2000 can play YouTube videos, pay-per-view movies, Hulu, VuNow and Netflix content, among other things, together with audio, video and images from USB external storage.
Netgear has announced the launch of its newest wireless router for gamers called the RangeMax Dual Band wireless-N Gigabit Router WNDR3700. The router is optimized for gamers and media enthusiasts to allow for priority for certain types of network traffic.
Back before HDTVs, set-top boxes, consoles and Blu-ray players sprouted ethernet ports, the only people who needed a network hook-up near their AV kit were those with media streamers. Now one cable might not be enough, so Netgear have stepped into the fray with their XAVB1004 Home Theater Internet Connection kit. Consisting of a four-port ethernet switch with Powerline support, the kit funnels an internet connection across your mains wiring and shares it with multiple devices.
For those in need of new home networking solutions, you’ll be interested to hear that NetGear announced their brand new MoCA Coax-Ethernet Adapter Kit today, which makes it possible to stream HD video and better enjoy the online gaming experience.
Netgear’s Digital Entertainer Elite EVA9150 was announced last December, but it’s taken a while for reviews to emerge. Promising a huge collection of supported video and audio codecs, plus 1080p output, wireless and wired HD streaming, YouTube and a removable 500GB hard-drive, the EVA9150 landed on My Digital Entertainers test bench for a good going-over.
With just a few weeks until CES 2009, we’ve been seeing hints of what tech will be showing its head at the biggest consumer electronics event of the year. Unsurprisingly, netbooks are taking top billing, with MSI confirming three of them. In fact the budget ultraportables are selling so well, they bested the ever-popular iPhone 3G in Summer sales. Acer are sitting pretty in the top spot, with their latest model – a 3G-integrated Aspire One – launching this weekend.
Netgear’s EVA9000 Digital Entertainer Elite has been quietly wowing the preview crowds with some pre-CES demonstrations. The 500GB mediaplayer is capable of streaming HD 720p video over your WiFi draft-n network, in addition to pumping out full 1080p high-definition content from your PC.
