When it comes to choosing a new router or mesh system, don’t settle for anything less than a brand that prioritizes trust, performance, and safeguarding your digital life.

1. Choose a Brand You Can Trust
When it comes to your home WiFi, the brand you choose matters. After all, your router handles all your personal data, online transactions, and connected devices. With that much responsibility, you’ll want to select a brand that you can trust to help protect you and your digital life.
Founded and based in the U.S., NETGEAR has been a trusted leader in networking technology since 1996. For nearly three decades, we’ve earned the trust of millions worldwide, thanks to our dedication to performance, security, and privacy.

Whether you’re streaming HD video, gaming online, working from home, or managing a smart home, a stable and fast WiFi connection is crucial.

3. Powerful Security Features
Your home router is your gateway to the internet and the hub for everything you do online. From computers and phones to smart home devices and gaming systems, all of your data flows through the router. That’s why it’s your first – and most crucial – line of defense against digital intruders, hacks, viruses, malware, data theft, and other security threats. NETGEAR & Bitdefender’s 2024 IoT Security Landscape Report found that a home network sees an average of 10 attacks every 24 hours.
NETGEAR routers come with advanced security features designed to help protect you and your family:
- Advanced Encryption (WPA3): This next-gen encryption standard helps safeguard your data and devices.
- Automatic Security Updates: NETGEAR firmware updates automatically deliver the latest security updates to your router seamlessly while it’s in operation.
- Firewall Protection: NETGEAR’s firewall helps block unauthorized access and potential cyberattacks.
- Guest & IoT Networks: Easily separate your smart home devices from your main network, reducing vulnerabilities.
- VPN Access: Secure remote access to your home network from anywhere, helping keep your connections private and safe.
Additional NETGEAR security features include Advanced Router Protection, NETGEAR Armor™ and Armor Plus. Built into the latest NETGEAR routers and mesh systems, Advanced Router Protection adds an extra layer of defense beyond our core security features. It helps block most known and emerging threats to your device and enables rapid security updates to help stay ahead of new risks.
Powered by Bitdefender™, NETGEAR Armor is a subscription-based service that provides a powerful suite of tools to help keep you safe against malware, hackers, and identity theft. Armor Plus adds an additional layer of protection with unlimited VPN, AdBlocker and Anti-Tracker.
