4-port Cable/DSL 2.4 GHz Wireless Router

With 10/100 Mbps Switch

Securely Share Your Cable/DSL Internet – With or
Without Wires!

When you connect your cable/DSL modem to the NETGEAR Wireless Router, you'll enjoy wired

or wireless Internet access for all your computers and be assured of protected communications on

your home or small office network! This 3-in-1 Router + Switch + Wireless Access Point is a

base station that allows you to share your Internet connection, files and printers with other

computers on the network. Your communications and network are secure from hackers and

wireless eavesdroppers because they're shielded with Network Address Translation (NAT)

Firewall. Internet activities are always safe because Web-address filtering gives you control

over any contact network users have with Web sites. Not only that, there's also a free,

full-version of Freedom

TM

Personal Firewall software included (for 8-PCs, a $240 value) to

block ads, manage your passwords, and prevent applications from sending your personal

information over the Internet. And thanks to the unique Smart Setup Wizard, you'll install this

router with ease.

Designed specifically for home and small office use with plug-and-play installation. You’ll be Web
surfing in minutes with the Install Assistant to guide you through each step and on-screen help
that’s there when you need it. The unique Smart Setup Wizard technology automatically detects
your ISP connection type – saving you time and effort. Front lighted icons display status at a glance.
Works with PCs, Macintosh®, and virtually all Ethernet devices, and comes with a vertical stand to
save desk space. NETGEAR even includes the cable (a $15 value) for your first computer to save a
trip back to the store.

A sophisticated NAT (Network Address Translation) Firewall protects against Internet hackers,
while VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through allows users secure access to corporate net­works. Powerful encryption (40/64 or 128-bit) protects against eavesdroppers and Address
Authentication restricts connections to specific wireless adapters – only those you approve are
allowed to use your network. E-mails notify you of Internet activity. Content logging and
filtering limit access to inappropriate web sites.

Roam your home and office with the freedom of a Wi-Fi notebook computer. Distribute MP3s,
digital movies, and photos with ultra-fast, wired LAN ports capable of speeds of 200 Mbps.
Pre-programmed Port Forwarding setups simplify playing multi-player games and hosting Internet
services. Shares a single broadband connection with up to 253 users to give everyone simultaneous
access to the Internet. Provides a powerful 5 dBi detachable antenna for longer wireless range, and
delivers double the memory and a 50% faster CPU than many popular routers.

Sleek, modern case, with a patented design, stacks neatly with other NETGEAR Platinum products or
stands on end to conserve desk space. A 3-year warranty means you can trust your network with built­to-last reliability – NETGEAR uses only high-quality components.
