Best of CES Wi-Fi/Home Networking Device: Netgear HD/Gaming 5 GHz Wireless-N Networking Kit
January 9th, 2008 by Mark Spoonauer
You don’t have to throw out your router to get blazing fast 802.11n speeds. Netgear’s 5 GHz Wireless-N HD Access Point/Bridge ($129) can be added to any existing network, whether you want to stream high-def video or enjoy online gaming sans the annoying lag.
When you pair two of the units together, you have the HD/Gaming 5 GHz Wireless-N Networking Kit ($229), enabling users to get their game on while simultaneously streaming high-def videos. Because the two pieces of this solution automatically discover each other, you get easy plug-and-play installation and a rock-solid connection between media devices in the living room (like the Xbox, Slingbox, Apple TV, and Netgear’s own Digital Entertainer HD) and your PC or network storage device.

Do not think netgear is in the same league with Pulse~Link G wave. Did you miss their display at CES?
“Winner of two 2008 CES Innovations Design and Engineering awards, Pulse~LINK’s CWave® technology was recently validated in independent testing by octoScope as being the world’s fastest commercially available wireless networking chipset.”
