A start up company in 1996, Netgear is today a company that is synonymous with networking and wireless for the home and small medium business.
Its offerings have grown from routers, switches, hubs, adapters, print servers, and access points to a new generation of Home Plug adapters that let broadband be streamed to every room in the house, to Skype phones and network attached storage.
One of the most awarded technology companies in the USA, Netgear has recently thrown down the gauntlet in the wireless market with a new media player that is expected to sell in Australia for sub $600.
The Digital Entertainer HD EVA8000, which was revealed at the 2007 CES show, is a new digital media adapter specifically designed to stream HD content from multiple PCs across a home network and to your TV. It has 802.11n WiFi, and has an HDMI port which outputs 1080p.
