NETGEAR, a networking company, has introduced NETGEAR
Wireless Extreme for Mac and PC.
The Wireless Extreme is the company’s first home router
to offer Mac-specific capabilities including native support for Apple’s Time
Machine back-up software and Bonjour automated networking technology.
“NETGEAR’s new Wireless Extreme combines the best of
all of these worlds in a single, powerful networking product that also adds
Mac-specific features previously available only in Apple’s networking
products,” said Som Pal Choudhury, NETGEAR
director of product marketing.
“For the first time, Mac users can purchase a high
performance router with NETGEAR’s advanced technology features, while PC users
can deploy a home network that makes it easy to integrate Macs and enjoy all of
their unique network capabilities,” Choudhury added.
The Wireless Extreme features NETGEAR’s Genie, which is a
dashboard-style application that provides easy and complete router and network
management, CD-less installation and support for Mac-specific technology, such
as Time Machine and Bonjour.
The Wireless Extreme can be installed and set-up without
a CD via a simple and intuitive interface from Android Smartphones, iPhones,
iPads or any PC or MAC computer. For Mac users, NETGEAR’s ReadySHARE
technology enables the Wireless Extreme to double as a fully functional Time
Machine backup device with an attached USB external hard drive.
The Wireless Extreme also features Dual-band wireless N
networking (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and an advanced 680 Mhz processor to support
state-of-the-art HD media streaming, multiplayer online gaming and simultaneous
downloads. The router is DLNA certified for streaming media to DLNA-compatible
high-definition televisions, Blu-ray players and game consoles.
The Wireless Extreme’s browser interface and the NETGEAR
Genie utility make setting up a guest network simple and easy. The router
supports WPA and WPA2 protocols for WiFi, has double firewall (SPI and NAT)
protection against Internet threats, and provides Denial of Service (DoS)
attack prevention. It also provides parental control solution for all the
devices on the network.
NETGEAR recently announced
the launch of new versions of their ReadyNAS Duo and ReadyNAS NV+ network
attached storage systems.
