Netgear Router/Modem

Netgear is an American multinational computer networking company that has been a staple in home and small business connectivity since the mid-1990s. Originally founded as a division of Bay Networks, it later became its own independent entity and eventually a publicly traded corporation. The brand is well-known for producing a wide range of networking hardware, including the Nighthawk series and Orbi mesh systems.

While the company is headquartered in California, the physical manufacturing of its routers, modems, and switches is outsourced, primarily to large electronics manufacturers in China and other parts of Southeast Asia. Netgear remains an independent publicly traded company listed on the NASDAQ, focusing on providing hardware and cloud-based services for secure home networks and enterprise-level connectivity solutions.
