    A couple reasons: 1. I have always used and had excellent results with netgear products. 2. The pricing of similar 'systems' from Cisco Small Business and the like were more expensive when totaled. 3. I like to keep the same brand in related systems to eliminate any interplay issues...

    Home Office Network build - advice needed

    I am about to upgrade my home network and would like to add functionality and robustness. My wife and I both work from home on occasion and I have a side business with lots of files that need to be transferred within the network. I have wired gigabit to the desktops and have wireless...
