The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Netgear was founded in 1996 in Silicon Valley. Patrick Lo built the company from nothing. They make routers. WiFi routers changed how homes connected to the internet. In 1997 they released the first cable modem router. It was simple. It worked. Homes wanted it. The product made them famous fast. Today Netgear operates worldwide. They sell networking gear to millions. Home networks, business networks, wireless systems. The company trades on NASDAQ. It is tracked weekly across Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini—one of 6649 brands monitored there. Netgear remains known for making routers that work without pretense.
