SAN JOSE, Calif., Jun 22, 2015 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NETGEAR®, Inc. NTGR, -0.35% (www.netgear.com), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, is introducing the industry’s fastest cable modem router, the first under its premium Nighthawk brand.

The world of open source never sleeps -- we've heard that a popular flavor of firmware for Asus routers has made its way over to the NETGEAR R7000 "Nighthawk."

Wait, what? We were pretty excited too when we heard that one of our favorite routers, the super powerful R6300, may very soon have a version of Android available to power it. The folks at Droidifi, in an already-funded Kickstarter promotion, are planning to release a flavor of Android built on the Jelly Bean 4.2.2 base, using the stable 3.6.11 Linux kernel.

Have you checked out the NETGEAR Developer Program? If not, now's the time--looks like Qualcomm Atheros has jumped on board to show off their Skifta Android app. With Skifta, you can stream content from DLNA/uPnP devices, including NETGEAR ReadyNAS.

NETGEAR Announces the R6300 Dual Band Gigabit WiFi Router based on Broadcom’s 802.11ac router platform delivering Internet Speeds Up To Three Times Faster than 802.11n
