Delivering the first dual-core processor in a home router, the NETGEAR N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router also offers 2 USB ports, CD-less installation and an Ethernet WAN option for Fiber/Cable broadband access.
NETGEAR®, Inc., a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, today announced worldwide availability of the N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router (DGND3700), the Ultimate Home DSL Gateway. The N600 Home DSL gateway brings together in one convenient, power-packed device a high-speed ADLS2+ modem plus an improved version of NETGEAR's acclaimed Ultimate Networking Machine wireless router (WNDR3700) to meet the demanding needs of today's advanced home networks.
Speed is built into the N600 Home DSL Gateway - from the ground up. With the first dual-core processor in a home router, response time is lightning-fast – even when running the most intense applications simultaneously.
Wireless range and capacity are maximized with support for simultaneous 802.11n dual band networking at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, providing two completely separate networks for data and video traffic to avoid network overcrowding and loss of data in transmission. The 5 GHz band in particular provides a less interference-prone channel suitable for streaming high-definition video and for networked gaming.
Intelligent quality of service lets consumers give priority to video streams, games and other rich-media applications for uninterrupted enjoyment, as well as giving priority to designated devices on the network.
The N600 Home DSL Gateway supports NETGEAR ReadySHARE™ technology through two USB ports, transforming standard external USB hard drives into shared storage for access by everyone on the home network. In addition, the N600 is DLNA certified, for streaming video or music from the external USB hard drive to any DLNA-complaint media player such as an Internet-enabled TV.
The N600 Home DSL Gateway is also future proof, with a separate gigabit Ethernet WAN port for connecting to either high-speed cable or fiber optic broadband modems. This gives consumers the option to keep using their same Ultimate Home DSL Gateway for cable or fiber Internet service without the need to reconfigure their home networks should they choose at some point to switch from their ADSL service.
