Netgear unites home networking and storage
A CES Innovations Design and Engineering Award Honoree, the NETGEAR Media Storage Router (WNDR4700) embodies the intersection of two of the most important consumer technology trends of the last few years: The desire to store and stream large amounts of HD content and other media around the home and the need for high-speed, secure wireless connectivity for the rapidly growing number of Internet enabled devices in the home.
The ability to provide both Apple Time Machine backup and Windows PC backup services differentiates the high performance storage capabilities of this product. The Media Storage Router leaps ahead with up to 900 Mbps of combined WiFi speed and the industry’s best WiFi range for maximum performance.
The device comes with an integrated 2TB hard drive that is consumer-upgradable at any time.
The WNDR4700 also provides two high-speed USB 3.0 ports for adding more storage capacity or for converting existing external USB hard drives into networked drives, making it the most advanced combination of wireless router and storage available today.
