Netgear
Home networking brand
Netgear is an American technology company that manufactures networking hardware—routers, modems, switches, and wireless access points for homes and businesses.
The brand name often appears in discussions of home Wi-Fi setup: I need to update the firmware on my Netgear router.
Like other networking brands, it sometimes stands in for the device itself: The Netgear keeps dropping the connection.
