SAN JOSE, Calif. – July 30, 2008 – NETGEAR, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR), a worldwide provider of technologically advanced, branded networking solutions, today announced the launch of the Wireless-N Upgrade Kit (WNEB3100), a Plug-and-Play solution that makes it fast and easy for users to add 5GHz Wireless-N access to any existing network and upgrade a computer to dual-band Wireless-N to deliver the faster speeds and more reliable connections enabled by 5GHz 802.11n technology.

The Wireless-N Upgrade Kit, which includes the NETGEAR 5GHz Wireless-N HD Access Point (WNHDE111) and RangeMaxTM Dual-Band Wireless-N Adapter (WNDA3100), enables users to quickly and easily add 5GHz 802.11n to their existing wired or wireless networks.  By simply plugging the WNHDE111 into an existing router or gateway (router with integrated modem), users can immediately take advantage of the enhanced performance delivered by 5GHz Wireless-N technology, using the less-congested 5GHz band to provide more channels to deliver faster speeds and more reliable wireless connections.  Adding the Wireless-N Upgrade Kit to an existing 802.11b/g network will create a dual-band network capable of supporting any Wi-Fi-compliant computer or device.  While laptops with embedded Wireless-N will natively connect at the highest possible Wireless-N speeds, the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Adapter provides a boost in wireless performance to desktops and older laptop computers.
