Netgear this morning announced a suite of new networking devices including new routers, powerline devices and a new version of their Digital Entertainer media player.
First up is the Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem— Broadband Edition (DGN2200M), a 802.11n wireless router with a neat trick. Should your home broadband fail, the router will automatically switch to a mobile broadband 3G/4G/WiMax network (as long as service is available). When your broadband access is restored, the router will switch back.
