NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR) (www.netgear.co.uk), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, is demonstrating a number of new products to press, customers and channel partners at the 2014 International CES® trade show running through January 10 in Las Vegas. NETGEAR’s new products give you the power to connect at the world’s fastest WiFi speeds to the people and content that matter the most — whether you are at home, work or play. You can see NETGEAR’s CES-related announcements on the company website at www.netgear.com/ces.

NETGEAR is a triple honouree this year in the CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards competition sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA®)) (cesweb.org/Events-Awards/Innovations.aspx). NETGEAR products that have received the industry’s highest accolade in the Home Networking category include the Nighthawk™ AC1900 Smart WiFi Router (R7000); the AC750 WiFi Range Extender (EX6100); and the AC1200 High Power WiFi Range Extender (EX6200). Innovations honourees are highlighted at CES in a special Innovations Showcase located in The Venetian® Las Vegas.

“Being honoured with CES Innovations Awards is always exciting and drives us to be even more innovative in our product development. Every year we’re pushing the performance bar higher to fulfill our mission of connecting the world to the Internet,” said Patrick Lo, CEO of NETGEAR. “Without a reliable, secure and high performance network, you can’t take full advantage of the latest mobile phones and tablets, HD streaming entertainment, and smart home devices. For that reason, the new products we’re highlighting at CES supercharge and extend the reach of your wireless network. We power your connection to the world to help make your lives more productive and enjoyable — and we do it better than anyone!”

Next-Gen WiFi and Home Networking

The company’s flagship, next-generation 802.11ac Gigabit WiFi router, Nighthawk™ AC1900 Smart WiFi Router (R7000) is a CES Innovations Award honouree that already soars above the competition with a 1GHz dual core processor that delivers the fastest WiFi currently available (AC1900 WiFi = 600 +1300 Mbps*) so you enjoy a blazing-fast, lag-free WiFi experience for gaming, video streaming or surfing. With the advanced features and best-in-class technology of Nighthawk, you reduce interference and have more reliable WiFi connectivity with mobile devices, home entertainment systems, and game consoles, including the new Playstation® 4 (PS4™) and Xbox One™.

NETGEAR will be demonstrating enhancements to NETGEAR genie® software, a personal dashboard that makes it easy to install, monitor, control and repair your home network from PCs, Mac®s, and iOS and Android™ smartphones and tablets. New enhancements include NETGEAR genie for Windows® 8, an app that makes managing your home network easy, slated for release in Q1 2014. More than three million customers have already installed NETGEAR genie.

ReadyCLOUD mobile app users can access files anytime, anywhere and from virtually any device without the ongoing cost or privacy concerns associated with cloud-based subscription services. In addition, ReadyCLOUD can automatically upload photos from a mobile device camera roll to a ReadyNAS for effortless backup of precious memories.
