NETGEAR networking hardware

NETGEAR is a prominent American networking company that has been a staple in both consumer and enterprise technology sectors since its inception. Founded in 1996 as a subsidiary of Bay Networks, the brand eventually became an independent entity, carving out a significant market share with its iconic home routers and ProSafe business equipment.

While the brand is headquartered and engineered in the United States, its manufacturing operations are globalized. Production primarily occurs in several Asian countries, including China, Vietnam, and Taiwan, to leverage sophisticated electronics manufacturing hubs. Despite shifting production locations, the brand maintains its standing as a publicly-traded American corporation, focusing on the development of WiFi 6E/7 technologies and cloud-managed networking solutions.
