I’m impressed with Netgear, and their wireless products
I was recently looking at some new 802.11x access points to see what I want to use in some new projects. I came across the Netgear WG302 and was truly impressed with this product. It has some very good radio specs, and a long list of advanced management capabilities. The advanced capabilities all seem to come from the fact that they have based the core functionality on embedded Linux.

This is now the second 802.11g access points that I have found that provide a full embedded system that could be extensible to add additional “edge” computing. This article seems to align with what I am seeing … that some people at Netgear are really thinking, and producing some very strong products.

Wireless gear boosts NetGear’s optimism. The company says it is raising its fourth-quarter outlook, as well as launching a secondary offering on behalf of its shareholders who are selling 9 million shares [CNET News.com – Front Door]
