"The debut of our open source RangeMax Wireless-N Gigabit Router is significant as it is the first full-featured Wireless-N Linux router to combine wide ranging capabilities, features, infrastructure and a community to enable application development," stated Som Pal Choudhury, senior product line manager, advanced wireless, NETGEAR.
Choudhury added, "Feedback and ideas from our open source community have been key in developing this powerful platform. We are therefore very pleased to announce our Development Partner Program, with multiple software vendors and developers creating customised, robust, commercial-grade applications on the WNR3500L."
The high-performance RangeMax Wireless-N Gigabit Router with USB features a 480MHz MIPS 74K CPU core with embedded hardware acceleration and incorporates 8 MB of flash memory and 64 MB of RAM. It features five 10/100/1000 (one WAN port and four LAN) Ethernet ports with auto-sensing technology with WAN to LAN speeds in excess of 350 Mbps. It incorporates an 802.11n access point with a wireless repeater mode to extend range. The three internal Metamaterial antennas provide enhanced wireless range and reliable connections.
In addition to its Gigabit Ethernet ports to deliver ultra-fast wired network connections, the WNR3500L router includes a USB 2.0 host port for USB networked storage and for developing other custom applications, including remote access, DLNA/UPnP Media Server support, and USB modem support for 3G/4G/WiMax high-speed cellular connections.
The WNR3500L protects the network from intruders via a double firewall and Denial-of-service attack prevention. The wireless connection is secured with support for Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2-PSK, while Push 'N' Connect using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) enables users to add computers to the network quickly and securely.
For maximum throughput, NETGEAR recommends the RangeMax Wireless-N Gigabit Router with USB be used with a matching Wireless-N client device such as the NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless-N USB 2.0 Adapter (WN111).
The company is also introducing a 'Development Partner Program' that already includes several software application vendors who are creating custom applications for the WNR3500L router that NETGEAR customers can download and enjoy. Companies include: BigFoot Networks, Leaf Networks, Paragon Software and Sputnik. Customers can download the Linux-based open source firmware from the open source community and development program website at http://www.myopenrouter.com.
To be available in fall 2009, the NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless-N Gigabit Router with USB (WNR3500L) is backed by a one-year warranty and 24/7 technical support, and has an MSRP in the US of $139.99.
