Today's home users are increasingly taking advantage of the latest digital products on the market, incorporating them into their digital home experience. This is one of the main reasons why companies continue to roll out new products that are said to provide users with improved performance, better design and, at times, a more affordable pricing policy. On that note, Netgear, one of the world's leading providers of networking solutions, has announced today that its RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router (WNDR3700) is now available for customers who want to take advantage of its impressive line of features.

“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.”

Among some of the features that have been built into Netgear's new wireless router, the San Jose, California-based company has highlighted the use of a new, higher-performance MIPS processor, clocked at 680MHz, boasting a high level of performance with 500 Mbps WAN to LAN speed and 350Mbps real-world maximum wireless throughput.

Awarded at this year's CES 2009 event, Netgear's RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router is one of the first consumer products to provide support for DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) functionality. It also incorporates a number of other features, including ReadyShare function, enterprise-class security, broadband usage meter and video quality of service.
